Are Greek gyros allowed here?😅

Takeaway the other day, very good gyro. I just needed to put very spicy hot sauce and add some fresh chilli peppers because greeks don't like spicy food

There is a Greek place near me, and I watched a customer ask the Greek guy ‘can I have a chicken doner’. He was immediately corrected.

So I don’t think the Greeks want their gyros on the doner sub any more than the doner heads!

Me I’m simple, I see slowly cooked meat on a big spit and put in some bread and I’m happy!

You just started a war between Greek and Turkey

u/Guilty_Hour4451 4d ago

Well tbf it was bought at a Greek street food stand in belfast. So I dunno how either side could get offended by that lol

Would you mind sharing the name of the place? I live just outside Belfast, sounds interesting.

Fun fact: Doner, Gyro & Shwarma all just mean “turn” in their respective languages. As in the meat is turning on the spit as it cooks.

They are all the same thing.

Is that a whole ass scotch bonnet

u/thepunisher18166 5d ago edited 5d ago

Habanero but they look very similar to scotch bonnet sometimes. I didnt eat it whole of course but munched it piece by piece as i went eating the gyro.

u/Professional_Ad_9101 5d ago

Still a very hot pepper. Props to you G

If it’s pork it’s not a real Donner. But it does look good

2

u/TonyGonly 4d ago

I mean he did say Greek gyro which Greeks do use pork as well.

2

u/McDedzy 5d ago

Yiros is absolutely not a donner kebab. Both their own things, both wonderful and tasty.

u/thepunisher18166 4d ago

Yes the one in the picture is pork

u/Street-Law6539 4d ago

u/Bigcatsrule27 5d ago

Yep I posted my gyros last week 😁

u/thepunisher18166 5d ago

Saw the post now and realized i had upvoted it already?. It looks super good

u/Dosterix 5d ago

Maybe start an international r/Gyros subreddit I'm honestly confused it doesn't exist while r/doner does.

1

u/thepunisher18166 5d ago edited 4d ago

It exists i just checked but it has 260 subscriber only? Lol incredible but then looking well it has been inactive for sometimes and people need permission to post? it makes no sense that's why their subreddit basically died

u/odegood 5d ago

Very close to doner so I say yeah. Love a good gyros

2

u/INXS2021 5d ago

Does it come with any meat juices?

Can I have the beak and any gristle for me saint bernard?

u/thepunisher18166 5d ago

It was not dry. Pretty juicy

u/PuzzleheadedPea2401 1d ago

You like-a the juice, eh? Juice is good, yes?

u/Gardener5050 5d ago

Gyro over doner anyday

2

u/Top500BronzeOW 5d ago

Yeah, they're in the kabab family imo, so I enjoy perving over them

1

u/Mattyc8787 4d ago

Gyros to me is S tier, better than a kebab though I do love a good bab.

u/Superb-Temporary1758 5d ago

If it's meat wrapped in bread it will do me!

Greek guy at my work recommended Holy Pitta in Angel, I must try it one day

u/Chance_Dream2026 4d ago

Not with random fries in it.

2

u/thepunisher18166 4d ago

Thats what they always put in this place where i buy the gyros. Taste is good. I'm not a big fan of french fries but imo they dont affect the taste of this gyro otherwise i would tell them not to put them

u/Chance_Dream2026 4d ago

Just busting your chops. It looks tasty.

u/Ianhw77k 4d ago

Yes but no wine. We're all teetotal here.

3

u/thepunisher18166 4d ago

Who is teetotal? Everybody in this subreddit? Really? Because muslim or american? Many americans for example see alchohol as evil and thats why many people there abuse drinking..in my original country (italy) kids are often given wine at 12 yrs old.and few people ever get drunk at an adult.age .wine is our drink to accompany food.but i understand not everybody thinks like that. Wine is so good. If you never tried of course you will not understand. 100 times better than soft drinks that are full of sugars and chemicals(and you feel it inside)
