The gyro is widely thought to have originated in Greece. It is a sandwich traditionally made using lamb, beef, or pork combined with tomato, onion, and a yogurt sauce on pita bread. Greek-American gyros are made from a large cone of seasoned minced lamb and beef—also cooked on the rotisserie. The pronunciation of the word itself is known to cause some ordering anxiety, but it sounds like YEE-ROH, with a hint of an almost silent “g” at the beginning.
