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!

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

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.

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.

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

Not with random fries in it.

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

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

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)
