We have a greek restaurant that opened last year near us and it has the best tzatziki sauce I've ever had and their Soulvaki in general is great.

You won't notice a distictive taste between gyro meat and beef. Besides, it's mixed.

There's a place down here I order gyros from along with a fried pickle., It's the best! There's another place called Cafe Athens I've been meaning to try.

you are a smoker, so you can't taste anything.

The tzatziki sauce (and the slow-cooked on a rotating spit tenderness of the lamb) makes a Gyro, imho. Don't be shy. Ask for extra sauce -- on the side if you're unsure. You can thank me later. 😉

Love tzatziki, but if a place gives you the option of tahini sauce, try that sometime.

I cannot choose a favorite; the tangy coolness of tzatziki, or the deep savory, nuttiness of the tahini. I like to switch back and forth.

He's just saying it's unusual for a dog to serve catnip. Dog's may like catnip and it's really not fair to stereotype them into just liking cookies, but cats would be like, wtf, what do you know about catnip?
 
First person to come back to this post with a gyro and a post it that says "yea ATOT, this is my gyro" wins.

I'll have to remember that. Not sure if I've ever had tahini.

I used to make a tasty but simple salad dressing the consisted solely of tahini, tamari (soy sauce) and some water for the right consistency, all blended together.

It's sesame butter, a la peanut butter. Like feralkid said, it has a "deep, savory nuttiness." You can def get it in co-ops and health food stores, and probably in the better supermarkets by now.
 
Are you a vegetarian?

If the answer is "no" the eat the gyro.
If the answer is "yes" then decide, why are you a vegetarian? Is it by choice? Or is it because you are too poor to buy meat? Can you afford the gyro? then eat the gyro.

The only time when lamg gyro is not the appropriate answer is when you are a vegetarian.
