Gyros

When the bartender at your local watering hole makes his last call for alcohol, there are many delicious and greasy foods that drinkers across the world will claim is the cure for what ails you. The best food for some people who have drank too much might be a huge slice of pizza. Others would say it would be a hot dog, or cheeseburger. Then there are those in England, Germany, and Turkey for example that say the doner kebab is the best thing to eat after a night of drinking. For many Americans, the doner kebab is known better by its Greek name, Gyros. In the Middle East, it is known as Shwarma. All of these delights are similar in that it is usually marinated meat layered with onions and spices onto a vertical skewer and cooked by rotating the vertical skewer. The Gyros is meat such as lamb, veal,chicken, pork, beef, turkey, or a combination of lamb and beef sometimes. Gyros can be is served on a thick pita bread with lettuce, onion, tomatoes, and tzatziki sauce. Tzatziki sauce is a yogurt based sauce with dill, parsley, lemon, garlic, cucumbers, salt, pepper, and olive oil. The fat and protein from the meat and the carbohydrates from the bread help to soak up all of the bad hooch you have been drinking. Even though, the Gyros is great for when you have too many, it is also delicious to eat. So it doesn;t matter whether you have had too many or none at all. The Gyros is just a delicious sandwich. Enjoy!
