Gyro?

Post by lostjeremy »

Anywhere in PP to get a decent gyro?

There was a small Greek place in Siem Reap a few years back that had good ones but Ive never found a good one in PP.

Fatboy subs had something called a gyro. I don't know what a genuine gyro is, but this was a homemade pita, doner meat, tzattziki, salad. It's ok. Next to sharkey on 130.

A genuine gyro is lamb. Lip smakin finger likin delecious in Greece.
But outside of Greece it may be chicken, pork, lamb or maybe woof woof or meow meow in Cambodia. :stir:

Woofwoof meat is probably more expensive than chicken or pork (in Cambodia). :snorting:

You're aware that in this part of the world (and across the continent) "lamb" comes from either sheep or goat, though, right? I was surprised to hear it.

Not entirely correct.

When they say lamb it is normally lamb however when they say mutton it is normally goat.

I'm Australian, so it's not even partially correct, it's a conspiracy. Actually, you're right - 'they' do say mutton for goat.

I'm with you lamb is lamb and mutton is lamb. However the distinction in cambodia is somewhat blurred.

Goat is severely underrated. Sure, I wouldn't want spring billy goat chops, but slow cooked goat shanks rajasthani style... I'd take that any day over lamb, at a quarter the price.

Don't get me wrong I think goat is a lovely cut of meat as well I'm just discussing the terminology misconception in cambodia.
