Uhm... our local stop & shop has ground lamb... ask the butched at your local, or large supermarket in your area I, sure you can find some.

I plan to put about 70% lamb, and 30% beef.

I heard of two tricks...

1. Regrind the mixed meat in a food processor to give it a finer consistency.

2. If you want to simulate the spit, and have a George Foreman or other similar rotisserie, make a circular\loaf shape loaf of the mixed meat wrap it in cellophane tight and put in the fridge for 2 hours to firm it up after that you should be able to place it in the rotisserie.

for now I plan to do a meat loaf of it, cut thin slices it, and brown these in a pan when I make the gyro... then use the pan to brown the pita bread.

good luck finding ground lamb... if not you can get the frozen meat from here, they seem to have much better shipping than amazon.com, although it's the same store... strange. 17.50 vs. 8.00

Today My Wife Went To Fort Bragg, NC And Found Ground Lamb In The Commissary.

KingSparta:
Today When I Was Working Sue Went To Wal-Mart And Bought A 14 Cup Food Processor.

I Mixed 2 Lbs Of Lamb With 1 1\2 Lbs Of Hamburger.

That Pretty Much Was Max Load For The Food Processor

When Putting The Mixed Meats Into The Bread Pan It Filled It Up To The Top (Maybe A Bit Too Much).

So Next Time I May Mix 2 Lbs Of Lamb With 1 Lbs Of Hamburger.

We Are Letting It Set For 24 hours In The Refrigerator

We Will See How This Cooks Up Tomorrow.

I Will Take Some Pictures Tomorrow Also.

It Does Smell Good.

KingSparta:
The Gyro Was A Disaster.

We Are Trying To Find Out If The Dogs Will Eat It, But They Are Trying To Bury It Under The Linoleum.

That's too bad, but what happened??
