I've always understood authentic gyros to be fresh grilled pita bread
wrapped around slices of spicy lamb (usually beef, too) with onions,
tomatoes and a yogurt sauce (sometimes the yogurt-cucumber sauce ... what's
that called, sageki?).  If you are Greek and know better, please correct me.

I don't understand, however, what the difference is between gyros and the
identical sandwich I thrived on in teenage years, souvlaki.  What IS the
difference between gyros and souvlaki?
