It should have an 's' on the end as it's taken from the Greek version. 'Gyros' isn't a plural.Though the Yanks use a mix of beef and lamb in the style of a Turkish Doner Kebab, all their rotating spits were made by 'Gyros Inc'. (The 'Doner' bit has the same derivation as 'Gyros', referring to the 'rotating' grill).
A modern Greek Gyros is marinated pork or chicken with tzatziki, french fries, tomato and onion in a thick pitta wrap with a pinch of salt and paprika. They wrap it into a sort of cone so it's open at the top. And it's bloody lovely. Seriously. Proper amazing. There's a truck by the market in Milton Keynes that does bloody good ones, in case anoyne is wondering.
But you probably knew that and were just wondering, like me, why b3tans were posting pictures of kebabs and calling them gyros...
