Mmmmmm Gyros...
-
Just returned from lunch. Went to my favorite gyros place. Grilled pita bread Fresh onion and tomato Creamy cucumber sauce Huge pile of gyro meat (lamb, beef, spices) *Serious Homer drool* :) But the big question is how do *you* pronounce gyro? I've heard: year-o (this is how I pronounce it) gear-o ji-row So which is it?

I've heard: I have had this discussion with a friend in the past, I have always called them "ji-rows" and pronounces them "euros".

Dance like nobody's watching.Back when I was in college, there was a Gyro shop right on Public Square. I treated myself to one about once a month and this place was run by a Greek. The one time he was low on help and took my order directly. When I asked for a "Jie-Row" he corrected me and said: "It is 'year-os' (rolling his r)" You got it directly from the originating language!!! :cool: _____________________________________________ The world is a dangerous place.

Dance like nobody's watching.Mike Mullikin wrote: year-o It's a Greek word, not an English one, so you should pronounce it like the Greek do. A Gyro (ji-row) is a completely different word (prefix) in English (stolen from Latin I believe), like Gyrocopter and Gyroscope. my $0.02 I prefer to wear gloves when using it, but that's merely a matter of personal hygiene [Roger Wright on VB] Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Had an excellent helping of pork souvlaki with a greek salad all covered in hot sauce and tsz-sziki(cucumber,garlic,onion,sour cream).

So Jörgen, a couple questions: What California wines go best with gyros? Where are you surfing from right now?

Dance like nobody's watching.- I have no ideas. I'm afraid I've never had a gyro. I guess I'll have to try one. I'm going to see a mall in today or tomorrow.. is Gyro the kind of restaurant you'd find in a food court? 2) I'm surfing from a nice hotel in Pleasant Hill, 25-30 minutes north of (i believe) SF. -- Counting the days in the haze around you Susanne let the ether fall Out of phase, I am all around you Susanne on the wall
