>Is there anything more overrated than a gyro?
In flyover land we call the meatloaf sandwiches.

>>11049192
gyros are great faggot op

>>11049192
Bruhs, I need it. ;_;

>>11049192
gyros are great. do you not live in NY? every corner in the city has a cart for this stuff. you should probably get a combo over rice next time.

>>11049195
Shitty meat, dry “bread” no cheese some bizarre sauces and always a disproportionate amount of vegetables. Shit sucks.

A gyro is nothing more than a döner made poorly.

>he does not love the tzaziki life

>>11049215
Any food can be bad if the ingredients and preparation is bad.

>>11049215
Stick to spaghettiolios, sl0p of sh1t

>>11049215
Does it need ranch dressing and Velveeta cheese for your Amerimutt palate?

>>11049215
sounds like you just have some shit gyros. Meat and bread is the best part of a good one, with an appropriate amount of veggies. Don't you dare insult tzatziki though

>>11049192
Fuck off faggot

>>11049192
Is it haram to call it a kebab? We call it a kebab in Australia and I love them.
I know there is also the typical kebab which is just pieces of meat on a stick but we also have the ‘diner kebab’.
Is it different from a gyro??

>>11049244
*Doner kebab

>>11049192
Is it true that syrup niggers eat these with condensed milk?

>>11049259
you've been memed; we actually use moose milk

>>11049259
on the east coast they dip them in basically cinnamon roll icing

>>11049192
A good gyro is good. The ones we get from the cart's here in nyc can be pretty bad though. They taste good buts its because everything is soaked in fat.

>>11049215
Brush your teeth,or maybe buy a gyro instead of dumpster diving.

>>11049234
>Don't you dare insult tzatziki though
I wish I could buy it at a grocery store,Instead I just hand the dude $5 and tell him to give me what he thinks is fair.
And life is great for a few days.

>>11049210
We've bee through worse,we WILL get through this together.

>>11049192
They’re really good if they’re made right. Some people fuck it right up though.

The sauce is Tzatziki sauce. Basically, cucumber and sour cream I think.

The ideal gyro has a fried peta bread, nice helping of meat, a good dollop of sauce smeared over the meat, sprinkled lettuce and two tomato halves on top. For a patrician experience, chicken can be mixed with the meat.

>>11049292
>I wish I could buy it at a grocery store
Tzatziki is really simple to make, but wouldn't keep in a store setting because cucumbers weep liquid the longer it sits. Run a cucumber across a grater, squeeze out liquid a handful at a time, add to bowl, then grate a raw garlic clove, combine with greek full fat yogurt, fold to combine. Squeeze of lemon juice. I like to add some lemon zest to up the flavor. Salt, pepper to taste.

Regionally, some people add dill or parsley, or mint.

Plebian detected

>sprinkled lettuce and two tomato halves on top
Lettuce? Are you high? ONION, Anon. Onion.

And for the record, FUCK Tzadjiki sauce. >Based roasted garlic sauce is superior in every way.

>>11049414
>greek full fat yogurt
Makes sense.
And thank you.

>>11049204
Nah meatloaf sandwiches are legit

>>11049391
BUt breh...

>>11049244
Yeah they have a similar concept but there's a few differences. Here in Sydney there's definitely more kebab joints but more gyro places have started opening up in the last few years.
First thing you'll usually notice at a gyro place is the option to order pork which you'd never see at a kebab place for obvious reasons. Also, the wrap is different. Gyro use pita bread and kebab use leb bread. And when it comes to the sauce gyro have tzatziki while kebab have chilli, garlic, bbq, etc.
I prefer gyro as the meat is usually nicer and the option to get pork is always welcomed.

>Every douchebag I’ve ever known loved these stupid things.
I wish I were surrounded with douchebags with such good taste.

>>11049215
>no cheese
>too many vegetables

>>11049215
you're either underage or live in a flyover state

>>11049215
(You)

non-american here

What kind of meat do they usually use in gyro?

>>11049216
Retard

>>11049192
Gyros are fucking delicious. Fuck you.

>>11050438
In my experience, it's a mixture of lamb and beef.
At least that's what the menu says.

>>11049192
T. Kebab nigger

>>11049192
>every douchebag I’ve ever known loved these stupid things

Yeah, most euros Iv'e known have been douchebags.

>>11049192
usa gyros was a mistake so i agree

>>11049192
You're right, I prefer a Chipotle burrito

>>11049244
Gyros is Greek, döner is Turkish.

>>11049192
the only thing i can think of thats more overrated than a gyro is OP.

>>11049215
I'm a flyover and even I cant believe this shit. I've gotten gyros better than what you're talking about at the county fair.

>>11049259
Yes we call them donairs and eat it with donair sauce, which is condensed milk with some garlic and vinegar I think

>>11049192
>fork
Do non-greeks really do this?

They are delicious and you are probably a virgin loser which is why you choose to not like it. Faggot snowflake.

>>11049215
fatass moron

>>11049234
I'd like gyros more if they had sour cream instead of that Tahiti bullshit.

The one douchebag I was well-acquainted with hated them. But he was pretty real beneath his veil of douchebaggery

>>11049215

>>11049192
Oh by the way authentic Gyro from Greece (not from Chicago) is usually chicken, sometimes beef, and NEVER that disgusting ground and reconstituted sodium-laden meat. If you get a good chicken gyro it will be very juicy. I never really had chicken that was juicy before I had one of those. They're pretty great and don't feel so heavy and unhealthy even in spite of the juiciness.

>>11052855
how about you eat a dick instead?

>>11052834
>the ground beef scarfing faggot is calling others a fatass.

what's the difference between a gyro and shawarma? I've only ever had shawarma

>>11049215
>no cheese some bizarre sauces and always a disproportionate amount of vegetables
Imagine having this shit taste

>>11050438
Normal gyros is pork. The other common choice is chicken.

Doner is lamb.

>>11053750
no. gyros is beef/lamb mixture

>>11052893
>chicken
It's relatively new. OG gyros is pork.
t. denbts

>>11053764
Dunno what to tell you, m8. I just had some gyros in Greece a few hours ago. It was pork. Beef/lamb "gyros" is called donner here.
Protip: Greeks eat WAY less lamb than you think.

>>11049645
Learn the definition of disproportionate you actual brainlet

>>11049215
worst taste on /ck/

excuse me boys comin through

>>11049215
The most American post I've read this week

Shawarma, Döner, Kebab and Shawarma are the same thing.

>>11049244
gyros is greek and made of pork
kebab is mudshit and made of chicken, beef refuse, or whatever mystery meat they can get their hands on

>>11055852
>Shawarma and Shawarma are the same thing

>>11054588
>>11054593
Oh yeah, this is how gyros looked like when I was in Greece. Breddy gut.

>>11055876
>This statement is incorrect

Oh n gyros too

>>11049215
>no cheese some bizarre sauces
Muh american "cheese"
Muh ranch

Gyro meat is disgusting poorfag faux meat. No wonder muzzies can put kids and horses into it. No one could tell the difference

I only ever get those eh-tier Gyros that're just Meat, tomatoes, onions, and Tzatziki that all the Maxwell steet places serve in Chicago. I haven't found a decent Gyro in the city yet.
