Yes, fooooooood. You know, that stuff you eat.

If you don't know what food is, I advise you to wiki it or something.

Anyway.. I have a craving for something impossible to find around here.

No, not penguin burger.

I want gyro. No, no, I don't want, I need.

Gee, if I hadn't just ate, I would be craving that...

My family is Greek, I love gyros.

Don't use wikipedia. Why? Because I ummm edit it. If you look under the history of "clock", and fine the edit by Protein Analyzer (which is me) you'll see what I mean. Right now, on topic, I want these raspberries my parents just bought me. Either that or some nerve tonic.

In Sweden we have this thing called "Skagenröra" (mayonnaise with prawns, caviar, dill and lemon) that is my favourite "stuffing" for baguettes. Yummy for one's tummy, indeed.

On a side note, can you imagine I had a conversation with someone who didn't know what a baguette was? Seriously made my faith in the state of common knowledge in the world drop by at least ten percentage units...

Like the turkish food.
Well that's no fun. :(

What does it taste like?

Chocolate cheesecake. Must have chocolate cheesecake. *lurches to refrigerator, flings open door, wails in dismay to discover it had been eaten*

But you can see that it looks a lot like your gyros, so chances are it tastes about the same.

I have a theory about those lumps of meat:
I have never seen one cut down to nothing and have never seen one being replaced/filled.
So my theory is that it's actually a cancerous growth that is grown in a vat somewhere and surgically attached to the skewer. The heat keeps it at a constant ideal temperature which encourages it's growth. Bits that are hacked off are replaced quickly by the unchecked growth of the cancerous tissue. The Turkish chef has to keep hacking bits off to stop it engulfing the shop.
The cancer, incidently, is also why it tastes soooooooo good. Because you know what they say - if it tastes good, it must be bad for you.

Your theory may have been revolutionary, but I had to stop reading right there. You what? Where do you live??

Here in Berlin (the world capital of Döner, if I say so myself) you can see that all the time. If you're out really late at night, chances are most spits you'll find are carved all the way down to the metal, and there are tons of delivery vans driving around town all the time delivering those big lumps of frozen döner meat to the eateries.

A... sundae..?

I could also go for a Gyro, although it would make me terribly ill. :(

I just got done eating 5oz of my NY Strip (saving the rest for hubby) and a small baked potato, so I probably couldn't eat it right now if I could have it.

I have a long list of things I can't have but would want if they didn't make me sick

sweet and sour chicken
Big Mac
Lasagna (with real noodles)
Whoppers (the malted milk ball candy)
Whopper( the burger)
Mc Donald's french fries
Cheese fries (from Outback)
and
an oreo blast from Sonic. :(

What's the banana for..?

What's the banana for..?

You split the banana lengthwise and place it gently in a bowl made especially for the purpose. You place three scoops of ice cream, flavors of your choice along the length of the split banana, cover it with chocolate syrup, chopped nuts and whipped cream. Top the whole thing with a maraschino cherry. I don't seem to recall peanut butter, but I think it would work.

The banana is to rationalize that it's healthy, but it actually tastes wonderful in that combination.

at the local ice cream parlor they have the banana, a scoop of vanilla topped with strawberry sauce, a scoop or strawberry covered with marshmallow sauce, a scoop of chocolate covered with peanut butter sauce, then chocolate shell sauce on the top of all that, whipped cream, chocolate shavings and a cherry.

it's disgusting, but yummy at the same time. :cool:

Well, I haven't seen any other kinds of readily available, liquidy chocolate. The real genius of the banana with choc. & pb is that it can be prepared in under a minute and all of the ingredients are within ten square ft of eachother (in my kitchen):cool:

not the most healthful snack, however:rolleyes:

due to a few pints down the pub last night - i want a bacon sarnie, with lots of sauce - on toasted bread

ooO and pancakes - buckwheat and blueberry - with syrup

and maybe some fruit

....beer should be a food - it would be socially acceptable to have it at any time.. :D

Hmm, i want a big fruit salade, a nice crunchy juicy apple will do for the moment too. Or some strawberries or raspberries or somehting:D

My grandmother's chicken. With spinach, kohlrabi and potatoe dumplings....

I love potatoe fries with lots of mayoneisse. Hamburger, nachos and every kind of fast food imaginable. Also when I dine my national foods it strenghtens my identity and gives a mental satisfaction along with a full stomach. If I eat with other people its also a social satisfaction. But as for eating over a women, I prefer tha taste of bare skin, nipples on my tongue and doesnt ruin it by putting hooney or chocolate on it.

Turkish kitchen is like italian kitchen in many ways but we have a greater use of spices and instead of using souces to add taste to a tasteless meal we cook everything together so everything is delicious from the beginning. Our history as nomad shephards riding horses gave us delicious secrets of the kebap, behold an lo! :D our control over spice road and silk road has made our dishes delicious as it filled our pockets too :p b Wine, olive oil, rice, vegetables, sheep meat, spices, arrgh Im melting from pleasure... a kitchen has to be good with so many good ingredients isnt it?

When eaten in a premium restaurant turkish fast food changes face. Its no longer just a piece of delicious meat between breads but a ritual along with yoğurt, shephard salad,special soups, after desserts like baklava. It becomes a culture at that point instead of fast food. Original dinners a hundred years ago took 3-5 hours at least to eat, along with conversations, smokeing(water pipe) and lots of entertainment.And go more hundreds of years ago and you will see that people barely had the time to shove some dried meat to their mouths, riding their horses to a distant war or love.
its always a pleasure to talk about food and food history as eating it.

Had both and there is crossover.

Most but not all kebabs are spicier.

Most but not all gyros are milder and have better dressing.

Once you put lamb/doener meat slices in a pita and roll it up with dressing and vegetable matter you can fairly call it a kebab or a gyro.
