Settle a longstanding discussion over whether or not lettuce belongs on a gyro, meaning on a standard gyro. I think there might be a geographic difference, hence the regions. Those not geographically represented please comment below.
I’m intrigued by your geographical boundaries.
Also, this seems like a col. smoothie thread. Amirite?
Lastly, no lettuce on gryos. Source: Lived with a greek girl in university, and have made homemade gyros a bunch of times. Gyros have meat, onions, tomatoes and tzaziki sauce. I’d allow cucumbers, but that’s it.
I approve of these posts, but when I was in Greece most if not all of the gyros I had came with fries tucked inside. Here in the midwest lettuce is generally included and I don’t mind it, but I’d prefer just tomato and cucumbers, as far as veggies.
No lettuce on any sandwich. Except maybe BLT since it’s in the name.
I don’t mind eating lettuce in a salad with a fork, but lettuce on sandwiches adds no flavor, adds messiness since lettuce tends to slide around or fall off, and generally makes a sandwich harder to eat.
No. If you put lettuce on, then it’s a kabob wrap, not a gyro.
As for french fries, I historically would have said wtf? But the Fiesty Greek puts fries in their gyros and they are frickin amazing, so yes on fries if: a) the fries are good and b) you are going to eat the whole thing while it’s still hot. Leftover gyros are still good, but leftover gyro with fries no es bueno.
My wife wanted Greek tonight, and looking at the menu, our local place does tomato and onion, but no lettuce. We haven’t been here in a while, I thought they added lettuce.
