Thought somebody here might want it! :) Hi there! I have lived and worked in Greece for a few years, and worked as a butcher in the U.S

for quite some time, so let me shed a bit of light: Donair (doner or Donar), Gyros, and Schwarma are all pretty much the same thing

The Doner Kebab (probably the closest original ethnic food to the American invention, the Gyro) is originally from Turkey
- 5
The gyro is an American invention which is basically a cheap version of a traditional Greek Kebab (the main difference is that the Greek one
- 6
A traditional gyro should be made with at least 50% ground lamb, and the rest beef
- 7
The best ground to use is one with a high fat content (this is so that during the remixing it binds and keeps it shape well!)

The main flavouring ingredients should always be: garlic, onion, marjoram, rosemary, salt and black pepper
