The tendency of gyros to be "delicious"

Odradek · 2013-05-22 14:25:32

Damn you, Greeks.

They do have the benefit of being on average more delicious than most food, finding a place that actully makes good gyros takes some effort. At least, in this city it does.

Or a Morey Amsterdam Sandwich!

Ugh, I've spent years trying to find a good gyros at Budapest. Thing is, I like shawarma, and gyros looked similar enough. And was sold at every corner. So I thought "Yay, shawarma!". Ugh, no. Every gyros I've tried been vile. Yet I've tried some more against my better judgement

Batgyros?

Princess Alice · 2013-05-23 00:30:49

There's a place not far from here called King Gyros.

Suffice to say they live up to their name.

RocketRunner · 2013-05-23 03:27:36

I've never had a gyro.

Previous Calica · 2013-05-23 03:30:56

I had some pretty good gyros recently.

Salix Babylonika · 2013-05-23 03:55:37

why did you throw away your gyro?

Philadelphia has a shocking number of places that serve gyro. Mostly places that specialise in something else (usually pizza) that happen to be run by Greeks because, well, it's Philadelphia. At worst, they are pleasant; at best, orgasmic.

we have this weird restaurant called dino's gyros, they take a kinsa fast-food approach to greek food. Would be fantastic if it wasn't overly expensive for what you get. Also the proprietor is a wannabe lounge singer and you can buy his CDs over the counter and the cover has just hims sitting on a stool against a white background and it is just the funniest thing.

There's this other place i've mentioned called Shish that i've talked about before that serves great gyros for not a lot of money.

why are there french fries in that gyro

Obā-san · 2013-05-23 21:29:26

i honestly do not know

MetaFour · 2013-05-24 01:11:14

I wanted to assume that they're fried onions, but they really look more like french fries and OH WAIT there's already not-fried onions in that gyro so those are totally french fries what the heck.

Obā-san · 2013-05-24 01:17:21

i do tend to put french fries in whatever i am eating when served french fries on the side, i assume this person has similar habits.

glennmagusharvey · 2013-05-24 01:23:00

But does this person wear [i]seat belts?????[/i]

I sometimes do this, too.

Plus, a good yoghurt dressing with french fries is lovely, so...

It's a yoghurt-based dressing. Not sweet like the yoghurt you're used to.

Seriously, don't knock it until you've tried it.

Plain yoghurt is more like a sour cream than a "sweet" yoghurt, and yes, it makes a nice dressing
