Miami Subs Have Them I Get One With A Large Sprite, $7.18

The Only Problem Is They Do Not Have Feta Cheese.

I Can't find Lamb To Create My Own So I Have Been Trying Different Meats.

Today I Am Going To Try Ground Pork

Stake-ems Don't Work Well.

I can't imagine what a Miami Subs Gyro is like but the words steak-ums and gyro should not be used in the same post! Ick!

If you ever get to Florida, go to Plaka's restaurant on the sponge docks in Tarpon Springs, Florida for one of the best gyros you will ever eat. I grew up about 15 minutes from there. Oh, I am drooling just thinking about it. It's the thing I miss most since moving away from that area.

Here's a YouTube of Plaka's (not my video)

Excuse me... I must now go search for a gyro joint in my area...

PS: I think the meat is a combo of lamb and beef. I didn't think there was feta in the sauce but I could be wrong. My sister is married to a Greek man (from Tarpon Springs), and she makes really good Greek food but I don't know if she has ever made gyros.

You have to let the yogurt... [I can't find the words, I'm a Finn with swedish as my native tongue...] I'll try to explain it how we do it... the yogurt for the zaziki that is

Put the yogurt in the coffee filter of your (drip) coffeemaker and let the yogurt drip for a couple of hours until thick enough (discard the exess fluid).

No But It Is A Option In Some Greek Gyro Places To Have The Gyro Topped With Feta Cheese

AoXoMoXoA:
There is a Greek Orthodox Church in my town and this week they are having their annual Greek Food Festival.
The Gyro's were excellent!

And, no, I did not see any Steak-ums used there  :P
