1966 Vancouver Sun 5 Aug 26/1


Typically, they may be beef cubes or slivers from a ham-shaped meat-loaf (gyros) cooked on a big spit.

The octopus [cold], the moussaka and the gyros [barbecued lamb turning on a spit in the window when we were there] were all quite special; the non-resonated Greek wine, Nemea, quite pleasant.

"Do you know about the gyro?" No. "It's lamb on a spit and it's Greek."
