Actually it is pronounced as: yee row by the Greeks. The best ones have feta cheese as well. Frisco's in D.C. made the best I have ever tasted.
I wish I had one right now. 🙂👍
For Greek cuisine, it’s pastitsio. Delicious! Need to try to make it again.
The best gyro (shawarma) is served sreet-side in the Yemeni city of Sana’a.Just continue taking your antibiotics after you have finished your meal.
About eight places in Greektown off Halstead in Chicago.
I like gyros a lot, but not that white stuff they slime them with.
I’ve made Pastitsio before but not for a long time.
Just this week as I was making my food plan and grocery list for next week, looking for new recipes, dishes I can make on a weekend that will stretch through the week for several dinners and lunches to take to work, and I decided to make Moussaka, another Greek dish I love but haven’t made in a long time.
I think I’m going to follow this recipe; I loved his lasagna and his cooking channel.

But I’ve also made a bit of a mashup between Pastitsio and Moussaka, using the pasta and feta, egg yolks, the cinnamon added to the ground lamb from Pastitsio but also adding a layer of grilled eggplant (but no potatoes) and topped with a bechamel with some nutmeg. I turned out really great from what I remember so I might do that.
is it pronouced yee row by the yee reeks?
The best gyro I ever had was made with horse meat.
I didn’t know it when I ate it, but the Parisians have had a taste for horse ever since the 1789 revolution. Afterwards, the French aristocracy gave up horseback riding because they found it hard to see where they were going without their heads. And instead of turning all of their aristocratic horses into beasts of burden, the revolting Froggies killed and butchered and ate them.
So it got to be “a thing” with the Parisians. And gyros is still one of the things commonly made from horse.
I went back to the same gyro shop a few years later, after I’d learned they were made from horse, and they still were every bit as tasty.
In 1962, we were traveling through Sweden and looking for a place to eat. One eatery had an English-language menu, and the featured dish was labeled “forcemeat.” Before ordering it, we had to grill the waiter to make sure it wasn’t horse meat. It turned out to be a form of ground beef.
Arbys!
just kidding
yee ot it. 🙂👍
“Back in my day, it was a tossup for best gyros between Litton and Honeywell. Oh, wait...”
I was think navigational instrument stabilization myself...
