My first gyro

About every day I walk past a local deli that has a sign out about their gyros. About every day I throw a curious glance at said sign. Today was the day–my first gyro. Maybe it’s my way of celebrating the olympics. The result: I have been missing out. I’ll be downing more of these in the future.

For those not in the know, which is about where I was until lunchtime today:

The gyros sandwich is a very versatile food. Depending on the restaurant it usually has a few standard ingredients: meat, tomatoes, onions, pita, tzatziki, and a great deal of spices (salt, black and red pepper).

And because I had to look it up as well, tzatziki (have no idea how to pronounce it) is:

A flavorful and versatile cucumber sauce that often accompanies gyro; made with yogurt, grated cucumber, olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh mint or dill.
