Poor tasting?! You've obviously never had an authentic one in Greece before. They're very good.

I've had 1 or 2 that sucked, but that's because the restaurant sucked. Overall Gyros are awesome!

I don't pronounce it any way. I'm afraid i'll say it wrong even when i know the right way, and look like a fool. So i just don't order them.

:D:p

I know I should call them "yee-ros" or "eeros", but where I'm from, if you say anything other than "Ji-row", no one has a clue!
