If you want to find good American Food you need to go to specific places or you just go to some German "Imbisse" where you can also get a burger for example in most cases or at least a "Frikadellenbrötchen". Some Germans might argue that this is also German food but I think the quality Burgers we know from today were developed like this by Americans. That's one thing I am proud of in my country tho. You can literally find restaurants of all kind, not authentic all the time (especially Chinese/South East Asian Restaurants) but a lot of them are. Germany is just in the middle of every culture and also because of migration these cultures clash and create some amazing food. For example: you will find places that put kebab meat on a pizza which is crazy 😂

[@zaxlee01]

Gyros is so big in Greece, i just stumbled upon this youtube video while eating gyros lol! For the first timers, When you order a gyro, you say i want 1)a pita with 2)type of meat( pork or chicken gyro, or pork/chicken skewer or beef patty or sausage) and 3) toppings (tzatziki or mustard sause, tomatos, onions etc). The standard version is: For pork meat: tzatziki sause, tomatos, onions and fries (if it is a traditional place they may not add fries and you may need to say you want them as extra topping) For chicken meat: mustard sause, tomato, lettuce and fries (same rule about fries) So now you know you can either say for example I want a pita with pork gyro and with everything (standard version) or you customise it.

The beauty of Gyros is that you will not have the same in all of Greece - for example, let's say you get a Gyros with chicken. In some restaurants in Athens, they will give you tzatziki sauce and in some others, "pink" sauce (mustard and ketchup). In Thessaloniki, they can even put ketchup! In Corfu, its common to put their "special" red sauce.

You will not find a burger that is cheaper than a gyro in Greece. Even a miserable hamburger without cheese will be at least 0.50€ more expensive than a pork gyro. Most burgers in Greece go for 6-7€, sometimes even double that if it's from a specialized burger joint.

[@metcat88]

Shawarma : Middle Eastern (Levantine to be exact) version of the dish. Made with lamb, beef or chicken meat in flattened pieces form (in general. If you want pork it becomes Al Pastor thanks to Lebanese immigrants brought and updated the recipe in Mexico). Döner: Turkish version (The OG version all of these some people say) It started as horizontal stacked version called "Cağ Kebap" (made with only lamb) and 2 centruies and hundreds of kilometers west on Anatolia later, it became vertical and beef started to use in minced form. In modern days it can be made with chicken / lamb / beef / even spicy sausage meat called sucuk in Turkey. During the 70s this dish brought into Europe (Germany/Austria) by Turkish workers / immigrants and it evolved into a new version which contains lots of veggies & sauces. Gyros: Whatever you see in this video is way more enough to explain gyros in my opinion so i don't have anything to add other than Greek immigrants that moved to USA created a version made with fully minced meat and drown that meat with tatziki sauce and they're calling that Gyros too (with wrong pronounciation by English speakers of course :)

Copied from Greeks ?

[@carlosm.3426]

no, this has been done by turks for centuries, it was the greeks that copied them, in fact greeks cuisine is mostly influenced by Middle Eastern cuisine, thats why it all looks very similar to middle eastern food, real greek food is awful

Its the most popular "street" food because it USED to be very cheap. It used to cost around 1.2€ to 1.6€ each. Nowdays it costs around 3.5€ each!!!! Its absurd.

greece national dish is fasolada aka bean soup... also a greek favorite dish that every greek eats each day as breakfast is tyropita aka cheese pie ... also spanakopita aka spinach pie, kasseropita (yellow cheese and graviera pie (gruyere cheese ), galatopita aka milk pie, etc you seem to paralelize greeks with the turks which have nothing in common as greeks are a balkan nation from food to traditional clothing, and turks are an anatolian middle eastern nation with a cuisine close to persian (foods like kebab, donner kebab and with some caucasus influences such as peinirli in turkey aka georgian kachapuri, sujuk lukum in turkey, churkela in georgia etc... what s called gyros in greece and donner kebab in turkey is a persian dish kebab being a persian name that means barbeque in persian . Gyros came to greece only in the last 50 years from refugees from asia minor, we dont have flatbreads in greece like the naan type used for gyros it s a persian bread also found in caucasus called as lavash in armenia, or tonis puri in georgia) Our grandmothers did not know to make gyros but they made pies and knew how to make homemade pasta makaroni etc on their own That s the greek food not the gyros

hows this different from shawarma?

[@soorajeday9429]

Basically be it a Gyro, a Shawarma or a Döner, they use the same technique of preparing the meat by keeping it rotating near heat. The difference comes with the type of bread they use, for example gyros are made with thick Pita breads, whereas Döner or Shawarma usually with a thin flat bread. Gyros has meat, tomatoes, onions (sometimes fries) with a sauce( similar to sour cream). Shawarma has meat, onions, tomatoes and pickled vegetables with toum sauce( garlic flavored white sauce). While Döner has meat + all these vegetables, Tzatziki ( white sauce) and a spicy sauce ( usually Ezme) . Also the spice mix that goes into the meat might be different.

[@perseusarkouda]

Don't trust Athenians for naming things. They're confused and they'll just confuse you more! Gyros = gyros (not souvlaki) Souvlaki = skewer meat There, two distinct things for everyone to easily understand what you're talking about. As for kebabs, falafel, humus and things like that... They're middle eastern food and not consumed anywhere else in Greece than Athens.
