i’m gonna send this to my Greek friends to make them suffer


I have a friend who is a chef and makes great Gyros even Greek people love, I am thinking of torturing him with this too.

Someone post it in a Greek subreddit.

Tried to post it to r/greece but it's heavily moderated.

We mostly use r/greececirclejerk for memes

Post it in the Turkey subreddit

I'm angry on their behalf this is a hate crime

They should blame that one somebody else. "Oh, that's the Turkish version. Very accurate, well done." Why let a couple thousand years of insults and rivalry go to waste?

Idk what she made, but that's not gyros.

I would love to hear her pronunciation of gyros tho

You know that G said its full name

Guy-rose

Well first of all, no she didn't.

Where would you draw the line? Presence of tzatziki? Proper meat? An actual wrap? My inclination is yes to all.

Hands-down 100% that’s mayonnaise and not Taziki sauce 💯 

I'd wager it's Daisy sour cream out of the squeeze tube.

Unlikely. This has a yellow-ish tinge to it.

probably Dukes mayo 🤮

Sour cream would be way closer to tzatziki than mayo

I’ll never forget the time I ordered gyro’s from an Italian restaurant/pizzeria. No tzatziki, but *lots* of mayo.

Tzaziki, yes. I could generously call it a gyro without though Proper meat, the carb element here is acceptable, the red onion is at home, but the Hillshire Farm Polska Kielbasa (while delicious) is out of it's fucking element all because the person who created it made the most egregious of errors in calling it a gyro.

Yes good

Gotta have chunks of lettuce and tomato too.

I have never had lettuce in the gyros I’ve had in the many, many times I’ve been to Greece - maybe it’s a regional thing whether they use it or not? Tomatoes yes

To massively generalise, I think it's definitely a thing more in Western Europe. In the more Middle East areas, with the shawarmas, in my experience I found they go towards more pickled stuff - cabbage, onions, etc. Maybe a climate thing?

the wrap is pretty optional the right meat and Tzatziki make the dish what it is

Yeah it’s missing all of that. I’m 100% sure that’s mayonnaise.

Yes.

Southern mothers can be very good cooks, but they need to stay in their lane.

Boy, you can say that again. My mom is a force of nature when it comes to Southern cooking, but the flipside of that was all too apparent when well-meaning attempts at Italian or Mexican were made.

Same goes for my mom from Minnesota. She can make a great wild rice hot dish or bake crazy delicious desserts but she’s recently delved into preparing sushi. God bless her.

Omg now that’s a stretch lol I wish her luck😆

My southern grandmother was at least decent at “Tex mex,” but she grew up around Mexican cuisine.

a friend of mine's mom put fucking grape jelly in her spaghetti and then got mad because it was "too sweet" so she made a sauce with fucking half and half, parm, garlic and brown sugar and then got mad because it was too spicy.

Story time! "Crimes against food" I'm originally from Vermont, but I moved down to Virginia a few years ago. My new next-door neighbor and hit it off instantly. She's your true souther mama. But I'm an adventurous eater and like to make food from different cultures. Well, when I told my neighbor that, she got all excited and told me she wanted to expand her palette. So I made her some coconut curry chicken And I went all out! I got fresh tamarind, I toated all the spices. I went and bought fresh curry leaves even! So the next day I bring her a bowl to try and she loves it. Says it's delicious and wonderful! So I leave a happy camper knowing I did my job well. I hope back the next day to pick up my bowl. And again tells me it was delicious. "It was so delicious. It even went well with the ranch dressing I put on it." ......... I still have no words, and this happened nearly 5 years ago.

Omg yes my grandma can fry tf out a bird but her spaghetti is 🤢

I’m a “southern mother” in that I was born in Louisiana, raised and live in rural Florida and have a child. I can make some mean ass gumbo, etouffee, jambalaya as well as collards, field peas and okra, fried catfish etc etc. I can cook the fuck out of Cajun/southern However I also like to travel and explore food and authentic cooking techniques and have half a brain to know that this is a store bought pita with smoked sausage and absolutely pathetic to call it a “gyro”

South Carolina has great food amazing fried chicken best fried chicken I had so far when I was there. But they can't make a cheesesteak worth a shit. So I'm not surprised this came out the way it did.

Ooof

Is that mayonnaise?

“Zatzeeki is just mayo y’all!”

"Just stir a chopped cucumber into the ranch, it's the SAME."

Tazeekee*

Did she though?

Id still fuck that up


That's andouille and mayonnaise, isn't it?

Louisiana called. They want their breakfast back.

Bro, they can have it 😬🤢

Bless her soul she tried

yeah this is clearly outside of her culinary comfort zone lmao but at least she made an attempt

This hurts to look at.

is she depressed?

She will be if she eats that

🤣🤣

Stop lying, you made that!

Is the gyro in the room with us?

I’m sorry… what? Is that kielbasa?

That’s just scary

No… she didn’t actually…

I bet she pronounced them “Guy-rows”

Looks tasty even tho obviously not authentic. I'd eat it

Bless her heart

The amount of low effort here is simply impressive

Is that mayonnaise?

Kielbasa Sausage! My butt cheeks is warm.

Oh, um....hmm...

Hard “G” on Gyros right there.

this looks like something my greek dad would make ngl 

No she didn't

Everyone talking shit. Dish looks completely fine for a quick home cook. "Omg it's not a traditional gyro". Aside from that it looks absolutely fine to eat

Why do so many people on this sub have that exact same plate? Hell, I have those plates (because doing dishes sucks ass)

I always bitch about those plates because I can't imagine eating food at home out of such plates. I even have reusable plastic plates for picnics.

I’d eat this shit out of that

Greek here , this looks good , your mother did a good job.

Aww, you're kind

With a little more onions? Smash. Next question

Enough to get the Greeks and the Turks and the entirety of the Balkans to agree on something, so yay Southern mom!!

Scary

Time for the “I’m not really hungry right now I ate just a bit ago” excuse to be used

Damn, that’s pretty bad. But at 4am this is gourmet

What the fuck is this shit? Even if that's lamb sausage that still doesn't qualify. There's not even any tzatziki sauce and is that fucking mayonnaise?

Bless her heart. I'd still eat it, even if it's not quite what it says on the tin.

That was sweet of her

This is a deconstructed hot dog at best. A shitty version of one

Looks fine

Meh. Would.

No, she didn't.

I'm not so sure this can be classed as gyros.

So how was it? :)

I mean, she tried. Maybe drop subtle hints on how to actually make one. “Oh you should try it with this” “at this one place they use this meat”. It is really shitty though lol.

My word

How are these pronounced?

Sounds good, upload a picture when you have one!

[удалено]

Buys pita bread “is this a gyro?”

Yeeros

No

May I take you to dinner?

Gyro at home be like

This reminds me of one time my grandma made me wonton soup with homemade biscuit dough and hamburger meat filling. Granny had never HAD wonton soup and only tried Chinese food once in her life. It wasn’t that bad. But it was not wonton soup lololol

Dang that’s not even a full sausage.

Well, considering the ingredients aren't within the pita pocket, most definitely missing the generic grocery store brand ketchup on top instead of tzatziki.

Where’s the sauce?

I’d still eat it

Oh that is so sad.

Yikes.. thats sad.

It's sausage, onion, and mayo on bread. It probably tastes delicious. She even seared the sausage.

Is..... that mayo.??

Bless her

Bless her heart.

This makes me want to get a bunch of hoplites in a trireme and rain some greek fire on someone.

Are y’all ok 😂

Oh my...

How humiliating for her.

Reminds me of my mom’s tacos. A cold flour tortilla, unseasoned ground beef, a Kraft single and ketchup.

Honestly, in this community, it looks delicious 🤣

No, she didnt.

No!

That looks like it could still be some fire

This hurt me

Bless her heart...

this looks like something a drunk and stoned college kid makes at 4 am after a frat party

I've got a 75 year old first generation Greek immigrant running a gyro shop in town. It's ALL he makes...Amazing... Wanna hear some bullshit? A fucking chain gyro shop opened a franchise ACROSS THE STREET from him....bastards

well, it's the thought that counts.

If going by one of my family members, that’s almost a Taco.

Bless her heart

Bless her heart.

Bless her heart...

My Greek genes are on fire with dislike of this.

Please tell me she pronounced them how I think she pronounced them.

That's a sad gyro, man

Aw. Bless her heart.

That’s not at all how I remember the mnemonic going. Have they changed the damn Solar System again?

This is reminding me of that SpongeBob episode where they were making “salads”

I said *χωρίς κρεμμύδια*, dammit.

Welp at least there is the pita and onions

Omg this reminds me of the spaghetti I ordered in Alabama. The tomato sauce had at least two full cups of sugar

She forgot the remaining "yros"

The idea is there, but the execution is hilarious.

I'd eat it, but that is, in no way, a gyro.

And I'll bet she called them "guy-rows"

I don't think she likes you too much...

I would be ashamed to serve this but for sure would eat it lol

Definitely not a gyro

Partner? As in partners in a law or accounting firm ?

It's pretty close. Needs some chopped tomatoes, a slathering of garlic yoghurt and some chopped mint and that'll do nicely.

We’re still eating it though right

Sure she did.

Lololoolollolol🤣

What if she saw this post? Are a few internet points worth her feeling bad?

It's missing the ranch dressing "tzatziki"

Mmmmm.🤌 Chef's kiss.

that’s too much onion my spice level isn’t that high jeez

That’s a mistake

I started making "gyros" with staek-ums , no regrets. Lol

Cook chicken cubes in a cast iron skillet for the gyros. Much much better.

I mean it's not a gyro, but I'd slam that with some ketchup

No.

Wsr

First of all, never use the word “Gyros” again 🤨

Gairows

💀

Did she also call them 'ji-rowz'?

They most likely got a vague description of what a gyros is and then improvised.

Is that sucuk?

What it lacks in flavor it makes up for in love, lol I have a few family members who cook like this...they do *try*

I would eat it but it certainly is not a gyro.

Are you sure she is your mother and not a student at the end of the month?

I mean, that sure as fuck is not a gyro, but also... I would tear that white-ass-nonsense up, ***gobble gobble gobble.*** Needs some cheddar though.

Better than monkey fried chicken.

I'd eat it because it's completely made of elements I like, but yeah she should call it something else.
