Who really knows exactly how you are supposed to pronounce it anyways? I have heard every attempt in the book, but that is not what this post is meant for. We are not hear to talk grammar, I want to instead dissect this beloved sandwich piece by piece so you understand that if you have never had one for yourself, exactly what you are missing out on. Start with the most important part of every sandwich, the bread, for a gyro a pita is used, and when slightly grilled it turns into the most perfect warm little glove for all the wonderful fillings, good Segway right? Lets go to the next most important element, the meat. If you are having an authentic greek gyro, the meat is part lamb and part beef. The taste of perfectly sliced warm lamb off that rotating meat carousel is the perfect balance with the before mentioned pita bread. The richness of the meat is countered with the creamy salty bite of feta cheese, and topped with a yogurt/cucumber/dill sauce that cools you off without taking away from the meat. Throw in your other necessary elements, such as lettuce, tomatoes, and sliced white onion and you have one of the best sandwiches ever made..
Oh, you want one?
