I will foot the bill for you any time.......but beware that after eating there you will need a nap before continuing your ride.......lol........I also know a really good place for fish and chips.....and an awesome ride for the day. Drag Mr. GB along with you.
Might just have to do that. Maybe I can follow you home from Drift-In....

- February 01, 2015, 18:35:47 PMOh god,
I just looked up Gyro's, they are what we call Doner kebab.. Tastes like two week old road kill with added gristle..
Tried it once.. never again..
Good lean roast beef, roast potato's crispy on the outside fluffy inside, peas, cauliflower, puff pies and really nice gravy.. That'll do me... Or a white bread and vintage cheddar cheese sandwich. Sometimes when I am feeling really adventurous I will have some branston pickle on it.

- February 01, 2015, 16:29:25 PMIt's REALLY TEMPTING....The best Gyro I can remember was in Germany, but there is a restaurant near me that does a pretty good job. That's kinda like the fad we're having now with the pulled pork. There used to be "Greek" restaurants all over, around here, now they're gone, replaced with something else....sometimes I'm not sure what the something else is...We have more of those Chinese buffets than anything else, right now,mostly run by Hmongs.

- February 01, 2015, 15:14:30 PMTroll ride up here and I will stand the treat to the best Gyros you have had .........I would even pay to feed GB himself.....but wonder if he could eat more then 4 of them, the normal person gets full on one.........

- February 01, 2015, 14:16:24 PMQuote from: Troll on February 01, 2015, 13:39:24 PMI think it is just belly pork, cooked until the fat has gone and the meat is scraped with a fork into strings then flavoured with a sauce, the whole thing placed in a big heated tray and you just help yourself.somehow I don't think the pulled pork I'm thinking about is the same as the pulled pork you are thinking about...I can't see a Cajun Barbecue specialty in a Chinese restaurant...I'm into Sushi, though...and Gyros!
I can't compare the flavour of the sauce because I haven't tried both but I think the pork is probably similar..
They also sell what they call crispy duck which seems to be prepared the same..
Most of the meat I cook I wrap in cooking foil so that I don't have to clean the inside of the oven, chickens and other fowl get a few minutes to brown without the foil.
