Gyros

Another food I never gave a chance and another food that, when I think about it there is no reason I wouldn't like it! Meat, veggies and bread of course I would like it! I don't know why it took me so long to try it!

About the food: (Via whatscookingamerica.net)

This type of sandwich has been known, and sold on the streets, by the people of Greece, the Middle East, and Turkey for hundreds of years. Greek historians believe that the dish originated during Alexander The Great’s time, when his soldiers used their long knives to skewer meat and kept turning the meat over fires.

Pronunciation:

Gryo has always been one of those words that you hear pronounced about a million different ways. I found this video that says this is the "proper American-English" pronunciation but who knows! 

Food Review:

I give Gyros a 4 out of 5 rating. 

Yum yum yum! That is about all I have to say about Gyro! The meat was not dry what so ever, though I always thought it would be, and the shell everything was held in was soft and not stale in the least! YUM!

I must admit this is not the first time I have had a Gyro. In college my roommate let me try a bite of hers and to be honest, I didn't like it. Here is why I think I didn't like that one and did like the one in the picture above: Cucumber Sauce. 

The Gyro my roommate let me try had cucumber sauce on it and the one in the picture above had sour cream on it. I must admit I hated the cucumber sauce but the sour cream was amazing! 

As always let me know if you have a favorite Gyro restaurant in the Chicago Land area or if there is another sauce you think I should try on my new treat!
