I made the mistake of checking out the Wikipedia entry for gyro and now I'm 500 times hungrier thanks to the picture there. Fuck. They're nearly impossible to find in Florida.

I totally see Jeff wasting a weekend watching some of this

"...And it was kiiiiiinda awesome?"

This is hilarious

Pita > Gyros

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Pita > Gyros

Does pita refer to something other than just the bread?

 

[RepairmanJack]

I've been in Texas quite a while and I'm yet to see a pig get buried and cooked. I was led to believe that was happening all the time!


Excellent, I'm going to watch this.

It doesn't happen soon enough you just have to kind of make it happen yourself. It's worth it.

If you say Pita in Greece you mean the bread with Gyros in it.

Giant Bomb thread is quite the educational endeavor today!

Oh I love meat, don't get me wrong. It's the primary portion of my diet, and grilling season is great. Just that smell of lamb, in particular brings back memories of giant bags of garbage breaking open on me or spilled grease all over my favorite Blues Brothers shirt.

 

[derFeef]

Tacos are the king anyway.

Ahaha, holy shit, that's amazing. The ending was hilarious too.

Since I haven't heard of some food here I wanted to ask.

Anybody here eaten Skyr?

Skyr got pretty big here in Finland during the last couple of years. It's ok, a bit too dry for me (I usually eat that sort of stuff first thing in the morning).

That's great.

 

[TraBuch]

Korea too.

Don't worry, I've continued that tradition in the US. Kalbi and pork belly all day erryday, bruh.

I need to call my mom and get her to prepare some Korean food and send it in a cooler.

Guys, just in case there was any doubt in Austin, Digital Foundry chimed in to say it is real. :lol

That just seems weird to me. "Hey we weren't first with this....but we had it too!"

 

[Keyser Soze]

I'm eating Weetabix at 4PM watching a QL.

I can confirm that Digital Foundry's confirmation of Giant Bomb's confirmation of Kotaku's confirmation of the confirmed consequential console, is confirmed.

Gyros are called kebabs in the UK

Nah Gyros aren't the same...they're way better than our kebabs!

 

[Jintor]

I heard people were talking about setting themselves on fire and I ran here as fast as I could

 

[kvk1]

 

[Archaix]

So is there a difference between kebap and kebab? I had a kebap not too long ago and was surprised when they handed me a gyro on slightly different flatbread.

 

[MassiveNights]

What's the diff?

 

[pizzacat]

Is that guy in the middle real or photoshop

 

[derFeef]

Salads are awesome too. Love me a good salad!

The P ending is what the Turks use to call kebab.

There should be no difference between the different varieties of kebap and kebab.

Gyros and kebabs are a different thing though.

The kebap I was served was rotisserie lamb/beef mixture on a flatbread with some salad veggies thrown on top and a yogurt based sauce.

Was I served a gyro or have I been served misnamed kebaps my entire life under the name of gyro?

I hate lettuce.

Nobody dare tell me its tasteless, fuck you!

Sounds like you had an Iskender?

[giant_frying_pan]

Well maybe I've only had good Gyros vs shitty donners, but the meat quality is better, gyro is more like a burrito in presentation and the sauce isn't as nastily acerbic.

I mean you can make a stonking kebab on your own, but I'm mainly comparing takeaways in my experience at home and in Europe.

 

[Jintor]

it's a kebab if you jam a stick in meat right

that's how this works?

i was always confused because kebabs were wraps, or they weren't, unless they were satay kebabs, in which case they weren't kebabs, but they were still kebabs? maybe?

i'm hungry. I haven't had lamb in like at least four months now.

My man.

 

[stump sock]

hey kvk any kebab joint recommendations in nova? the ones I used to frequent have shut down or changed management :\

 

[TraBuch]

Huh. Didn't realize Arby's was such a popular fast food junt worldwide.

 

[Strax]

Maybe its just me but I'm getting bored of lamb. Its never been lower on my meatlist (thats a thing).

1. Cow
2. Pig
3. Chicken
4. Horse
5. Lamb

 

[derFeef]

Luckily there is more to salad than lettuce.
Lettuce is still okay.

 

[kvk1]

honestly if there is meat, bread, and some sort of yogurt based sauce involved, you're good to go

the rest is semantics and auxiliary variety

eat what you like fam

Meat tiers huh

1. Lamb
2. Beef
3. Pig
4. Chicken
5. Duck

actually i quite like duck but it's really fiddly to eat. like prawns, the effort/meat return is inefficient

 

[Strax]

Also movies and TV show have lied to me about turkeys, they ain't all that.

 

[daydream]

gyros is dope, döner i can barely stand to eat

 

[stump sock]

I like lamb more than beef but eat it fairly infrequently. the thought of ever burning out on it is super depressing, so it's a special occasion food

Also movies and TV show have lied to me about turkeys, they ain't all that.

turkey is a less tasty chicken that is also more of a hassle to cook. it's a pretty solid choice for sandwich ingredients though.

for a to-go kind of place, you can't go wrong with moby dick

for a sit-down/upscale experience i like rosemary's thyme

[Archaix]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/İskender_kebap

Which is pretty much indistinguishable (but for a slightly different type of flatbread) from what I'd expect to get when I order a gyro.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Spinach has replaced lettuce in my sandwiches.

Spinach is awesome.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Ham is always the better holiday meat. Turkey you save til the next day and put some on a bread with some mayo and that shit is way better.

Turkey is lowkey terrible. Probably the worst traditional Thanksgiving food even when it's cooked well.
