God tier food

>>14949816
They're great with lots of white onion, tomato, cucumbers and Tzatziki. Fresh baked pita and lots of meat. Put the fries in the pita and you'll be full af for hours.

>>14949833
I just finished one for lunch. I'm trying not to go drive back to get another

>>14949816
Amazing when you're shitfaced, still good either way. Not healthy really but that doesn't matter

>>14949816
Made my own with left over lamb chops recently. Turned out pretty well. Overall I love this type of food.

>>14949846
>that doesn't matter
My nigger. As I get older I literally truly DGAF anymore about health. I want to be happy. Welcome to 30

>>14949816
I don't care for them. Greasy and one note flavor. The lamb is always too heavily spiced. Now, make me one with fresh lamb, and pickled onions and you've got something.

>>14949816

dzyro or yairo or guyroh

>>14949816
I prefer fixed winged aircraft.

>>14949816
I crave then desperately.

>>14949816
My favorite fast food. I used to go to a place in Houston that served Philly cheese gyros. I easily gained ten pounds from eating them over the years.

>>14949816
I love tzaziki sauce and warm pita. someone suggested I turn a hot dog into a gyro the other night so I did it. still tasted like hot dog but was 10/10 as far as hot dogs go

>>14950006
yero

>>14950124
here it is before

>>14949816
What's the difference between these and donairs? Is it just the difference of getting it from a Greek or Turkish place?

>>14950124
Huh I remember that. Looks good anon.

>>14950143
Pretty much the same, though there may be regional variances in the spices used.

>>14950143
Yes. And I think doner kebabs tend to be lamb.

>>14950143
Pretty much. The sauces and spices are different and the bread is a bit different. But they are lamb sandwiches with lettuce and tomato. Some places might even use the term interchangeably.

>>14949872
You're bloated, losing hair, your dick doesn't work, you're winded from walking to the car, and everything thinks you're a disgusting piece of shit who's a drain to everyone around you. Welcome to 40 my nigger.

>>14950262
that all started in my late 20s

>>14949816
chicken shawarma with garlic sauce please

>>14949816
Shame on your family, those fries look disgusting

>>14949976
>lamb
You already failed.

>>14950269
must just be really shitty genes. don't know if there's anything you can do to fix that then.

>>14950293
>porn addiction
>fat
>hair loss probably from stress

It's preventable stuff.

>>14950282
They look pretty good, you can do a lot worse. Sorry American "chips" are not up to your standard.

>>14949816
ok let's settle it once and for all /ck/ - HOW do you pronounce this food?
Year-Ohs ?

>>14950143
where I'm from yeros are made with pork. turks don't eat pork

>>14950324
Got some potatoes with as little starch as possible
Peel them
Cut them fry-shapes
Put them in water
Store overnight in fridge
Next day drain water and dry fries with cloth or paper towel
Heat up oil or fat (best is ox-fat) to 120°c
Bake a few minutes
Take out the fries and put them on a draining rack
Heat up oil to 180°c and fry again untill golden
Take out and salt
Have delicious fries

Simple as that, yours just looked like the were baked too long in a temperature that's too low in fat that's too old

>>14950262
Lemme walk that back a little. I don't care about how unhealthy I eat. I'm not some fag eating salad and chicken every day and if I want the bread, I'm gunna eat the bread. I go to the gym and have a normal BMI. #balance

>>14949816
best fast food option hands down
all the gyro places in my city are far from me, so i can get it maybe once a week but i'd eat it every day if i could. dat delicious tzatziki sauce

>>14949816
Meh tier compared to tacos
The sauces are the difference
Imagine a military general without an army ... That's the gyro
Now tacos can come with as many as 15/20 sorted sauces depending on taco shop
Now a taco with numerous sauces as an army does much to stand behind our so called general

>>14950135
>no olive oil
>no garlic
>no dill
>no mint
Now I'm curious as to what you think tzatziki is at this point.

>>14949816
literally the worst farts. maybe "worst" isn't the right word since I don't mind my own but I feel someone else smelling a gyro-meat-fart of mine would be truly repulsed.

bretty good though, messy, and when I see yuros post pics of kebabs I get jealous of the veg they have. onions and tomatoes are good but lacking, I feel shredded cabbage would round it out proper.

>>14950262
whew, at least my dick still works, thanks anon I feel better already.

>>14951350
the bag is old dry dill. I keep the olive oil near the stove I just didn't grab it at first, you can see it in the last pic. only thing I forgot was the garlic

>>14950124
>>14950135
why'd you abandon your roast chicken thread

>>14951350
the bag is old dry dill. I keep the olive oil near the stove I just didn't grab it at first, you can see it in the last pic. there's garlic powder in the pic too. I'm not sure what you're whining about.

>>14951436
I didn't abandon it, nobody bumped it really and it died. I didn't have anything much else to add at that point since I didn't take any pics of it plated.

Would love it except pronouncing the actual thing fucking sucks. It’s not actually gyro, it’s more like hero but don’t put too much emphasis on the h so it’s more like eero but don’t totally dismiss the h sound either. Fuck it man I don’t like looking dumb.

i needs it brotendos

>>14949816
i really like them but i always get tons of gristle which makes it shit tier food

>>14949833
>God tier food

It's amazing but near impossible to make it at home.

>>14949816
IT'S PRONOUNCED EURO

>>14951604
then why did they spell it gyro when they translated it to English?

>>14949816
Only bittersweet memories. There are no greek restaurants near me. I used to get one gyro a year when we went to the county fair and sought out the one greek food stand they had there. They did them up real nice, carved to order, and absurdly generous portions, particularly given how badly most vendors at a fair will screw you. We'd split a single gyro among us and have us a real nice meal. Then the vendor got bought out by one of those annoying EXTRA BIGASS DEEPFRIED PEANUT BUTTER-BATTERED FRIED CHICKEN-STUFFED DONUT BURGER places that already had multiple locations around the fair every year anyway, and now I never get to have gyros anymore unless I want to spend 45 minutes to an hour on the road.

>>14949816
Abominations of original doner.

>>14951580
What so gyros are soy now? What a cunt you are

>>14949833
Based yeah poster.

>>14951722
Ok chud

>>14951745
Based yeah poster.

>>14951720
That's exactly what a chud would say

>>14949816
It's pronounced HYEUROOOOOOOOOOO!!!! STUPID AMEIRCANS!!@$!@$

What? It's the Greek's fault that they spelled it "Gyro" when selling to Americans???? STUPID AMERIFAT ALL aMERICANS SHOULD PERFECTLY KNOW HOW PEOPLE FROM EVERY CULTURE PRONOUNCES LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET!!

IMMIGRANTS ARE NEVER WRONG!!

>>14951818
is he chud or soy? be consistent in your retarded meme terms

>>14949816
kebabs are better solely for the addition of toum vs shitty yogurt water sauce.

>>14949816
I like em with a lot of the green stuff on em

>>14949816
They're great. As much as I love beef, lamb/mutton is criminally underrated in Freedomland.

>>14949816
I'll have three pittes with kreas tomatos fries zaziki and onion please

>>14949816
Possibly the greatest sandwich ever invented

>>14951947
fuck yeah, man, cash sandwich. just straight up goin to town on hundos

>>14950282
You're fucking retarded and have probably only even pale frozen fries. Fresh cut and double fried is the way to go.

>>14949816
Gyros are excellent.

Don't put fries on them. Don't put lettuce on them. And don't put cheese on them.

Doner kebab is arguably better but I adore both.

>>14951394
lol if you have to bring it up I know it doesn't work.

Hilarious this thread's up, I just made them for the first time. It was much easier than I thought it'd be, I feel like the tzatziki came out a tad too runny but still good.

r8

>>14952267
looks fuckin great

would devour

>>14952267
how'd you do the lamb strips

>>14950124
>the virgin morsel

>>14952267
>the chad sloppa

>>14949833
This. Also it's pronounced with a hard G

>>14952419
i'll kill you

I'LL KILL YOU

>>14949838
I prefer red onion. And feta cheese. Based anon.

>>14952419
>>14952426
it's neither the hard G nor the soft G in English, it's axually the spanish G

>>14950290
the best ones I've had were all pork. why does everyone eat lamb? are they all going to "greek" places actually run by turk roaches?

>>14949816
had one for lunch today

>>14952584

>>14949816
Every time I go for one, I seem to end up in Yoker

>>14949816
They usually are way too large, so i eat them with a fork. Really good shit though.

>>14952599
>i eat them with a fork

>>14952611
stop

>>14952615

>>14952599
>not getting an extra pita and making an additional one.

>>14949976
There's a shop near me that does stuff like this. Super legit gyros made from real marinated steak, lamb, and chicken

I kinda still like the fast food version better, but they're really good too

>>14951911
Sure thing chud

>>14952640
just pull out the meat that doesn't fit and eat it as an appetizer duh

>>14952853
just like with your boyfriend, anon

>>14949816
I like them, but I like the meat sliced really thin

>>14949816
What the fuck? That is not gyros. Looks like the kebab shit that lebos use.

>>14949816
mogged to hell and back by shish taouq

>>14952974
it clearly is, it's just not browned nicely

>>14949816
pretty sure thats a kebab

>>14953093
No, Gyros is meant to be meat, not that fucked up pressed meat-like-substance.

>>14953105
wtf are you even talking about

>>14953108
Have you never seen real meat? Because OPs picture is not it.

>>14953139
Grinding meat into a loaf doesn't make it "not real meat" you shit-for-brains mouthbreather.

The term "gyros" is used to refer to this type of meat loaf roasted on a spit. You're arguing with a fucking dictionary right now, retard.

>>14953209
>The term "gyros" is used to refer to this type of meat loaf roasted on a spit.
No it's not you fucking retard. Thats the kind of shit that turks eat. Gyros is proper meat, not meat paste. If you think there isn't a difference you're outing yourself as a tasteless piece of shit.

>>14953212
yeah in America the term "gyros" refers to the type of meat that is made into a loaf, usually a mix of lamb and beef.

So you're arguing semantics and getting heated like a fucking retard.

Where im from we called them Yiros, any other name and people would think you're retarded

>>14953502
Yiro, gyro, and hero are all the same word.
Doner kebab also means the same thing.

>>14953218
>in America the term "gyros" refers to the type of meat that is made into a loaf, usually a mix of lamb and beef.
In Greece though it means thin slices of pork meat. What you are referring to seems to be the turkish gyros

>>14953559
Sure but you should learn in childhood that things have different names in different places.

Only a retard would go "but what gyros *actually* is is X!!"

>>14953218
It's not semantics. If that's what they call Gyros in America then america is getting it wrong. Call it American Gyros or something. Fucking hell you people really ruin every fucking thing you get your greasy hands on don't you?

Have any of you twigged yet that it is a gyro because of gyration as in to spin or rotate because of the rotating spit cooking method?

>>14953212
>>14953218
isnt gyros a spice lol

>>14953566
Hmmm anon this is a good argument actually. You're right, Americans are wrong.

>>14952267
>the tzatziki came out a tad too runny
use more high % fat joghurt or ditch the cucumber juice if you used it
also it looks like its lacking dill

Anyone ever tried to make their own gyro/shawarma?

>>14950143
Gyros are made with pork usually, döners have lamb or beef. Also gyros have tzatziki, and the pita is a bit different

>>14953692
I don't have a rotisserie so I make souvlaki

Just landed in Athens, going to order some tonight.

>>14952419
KYS

>go to Greek festival to order a gyro
>young hipster looking guy next to me in line
>"It's pronounced yuuro just so you know for the future"
>both me and the lady working the festival just stare at him
>get my gyro and move on

>>14954478
i bet that guy has literally posted ITT

>>14953589
I didn't press the juice out of the cucumbers is what the problem was, I think. I used dill

>>14952304
Basically, I minced a pound of lamb and a pound of beef together in a food processor. Used rosemary, italian seasoning (oregano, basil, etc.), cumin, marjoram and a couple cloves of garlic and diced onion and processed that with it.

Baked the meat in a loaf pan inside a water bath pan for about an hour and cut it into strips. It's fairly easy to do, my autism slightly panicked when I saw I had to do that bath shit.

>>14953729
döners have turkey

>>14952596
Best day of me life

>>14955124
More like böner kebab, amirite
