Gyros

Can someone offer the phonetic spelling...
I know it's not a "gryo" (i.e. gyroscope) and I don't say "heero". I pronounce it more like "yee-ro"
I just thought y'all would settle this for this a-hole sitting next to me.
TIA

I've always called it geeros (hard g) but someone corrected me once and said it's like, eeros or heeros.. weird.

Yee-Ro

Certainly someone of your social and cultural awareness, with the numerous celebrities you know and entertain at dinner parties; I will seek no further confirmation that I was correct.

Where have you been? A weather station north of the Atctic Circle like Captain Stillman from Stripes?

I could eat them all day...but my favorite is Turkish gyro - Doner kebab which I can't find anywhere in the states.
Instead of Tzatziki Sauce it has a chili sauce with salad on top. More greasy than the gyros and the meat is more of a mystery.
I actually had a gyro in Athens, Greece and they put french fries on top with ketchup. It was so disappointing.

Phoenicia is in Metairie.
And the best gyro in Metairie is Acropolis.

Hee-ro sounds dumb

you mean the good ole turkish doner kabobs? those are great, just slightly different from greek/lebanese version. and they have that spicy harissa sauce.
Posted on 7/18/11 at 8:38 pm to glassman
yes and I do love me some kiefers....cottage fries and pita mozz!

i've heard that it is pronounced with a soft "g." i don't know what the frick that is. so, i stick with "yee-ro."
eta: soft "g" is apparently the "g" in george
