Anyone got tips for making good ones at home? Possibly substituting chicken strips for veal (we call them "Chicken in a Sack" here). And I would guess the sauce (tziki?) is the key. Anyone?

The hard part is freezing 50 lbs. of pureed lamb meat onto a rotating spindle. Once you get that part down, it's gravy... |

I've only seen frozen packages of strips - along w/ the cucumber sauce and pita bread - @ a few grocery stores...
Best to go for the real deal (@ your favorite Mediterranean strip bar) - replication of recipes @ home ususally ends in dissapointment.
Unless it is Wesson oil, soft female skin, and a new shower curtain liner. Yum. Can't go wrong there - stir and enjoy.

mmm meat on a spindle...
when i was in korea we use to live on gyro's..if only because we knew it wasn't cat...but still..we lived on them nonetheless
so is it veal or lamb..i've heard it's actually a mixure of those, with possibly a third added..but then you get into hotdog-rumor-terrirtory..
check out allrecipes.com i've gotten a lot of good stuff on there..althought i usually get the Bachelor-Stew crockpot recipes  |

I make them at home quite often. Sometimes I just buy some cubed lamb meat and sometimes I switch it to pork or chicken (or a combo of all three is good). Cut the meat up fairly fine and fry it up with a bevy os spices (salt, pepper, olive oil, balsalmic vinegar, italian or medditereanian spice). Chop up some tomato, cucumber and red onion. I prefer to buy tzatziki sauce, but you can make it (plain yogurt, dill, cucumber).
Slap the sause on your pita, toss some meat and veggies in there and roll it up and stuff it down. |
