The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

Well those gyros you speaking of are Greek American which focus on lamb and beef otherwise the traditional is pork (sometimes chicken) wrapping within a pita with the usual suspects.

Really? Lamb isn't a big meat in Greece itself? It's definitely how Greek American restaurants present it.

Lamb is big in Greece but for a meal called Kleftiko. For the pitta wraps it's pork souvlaki - that's if you're going traditional

It’s been a day of multiple threads that all earn the same response for me: Thank you, no, I declined to discuss my preferences on a matter where the OP and others have already declared them bad and unacceptable. I can just sit here and pet the cats wrong until they lash out, or hit my head on the desk a few times.

I‘d be up for explaining, but not defending. I’m not on trial, nor a specimen to be analyzed and prove at others’ whim.

I've been trying to reverse engineer spice mixes for my family and it astonishes me how many of them randomly add flours of various types to sauces that don't need it as thickeners. But it makes the spice pack seem fuller and for most of the population, it's a harmless addition.

Yes!

It’s harmless to me but when I shop I have to really look!

I have celiac. You basically need to read every label. With stuff like spices, it is a good idea to check the website too because some times gluten isn't always clearly marked on the labels (there are a lot of foods and products where 'natural flavors' could mean a lot of different things). Eating out is very much at ones own risk. You learn over time what places are more successful at it than others, but it is a challenging condition to prepare food for (even I get things wrong sometimes cooking for myself)

Totally. And taking family out to eat—-due diligence!

I have not gone to some restaurants for years because it won’t feed the whole family. Laces that advertise a gluten free menu often work and get our money…

Neat! You learn something new each day.

I wonder why Greek American restaurants are all-in on lamb. Maybe some early immigrant entrepreneur had a big farm or something.

It does help for customers who don't eat pork, but yeah it is interesting how it came to be in the US.

I'd gather its a rare meat in U.S. giving them a theme to center on.
