The following are not definitions, but the result of inductive learning that allowed me to get about what I wanted most of the time :-) Souvlaki: meat grilled on a stick Souflaki in pita: as described in first message, but with (strong) onions. Doner: same as souflaki in pita, but the meat (sometimes lamb) is cut from a big roasted piece of meat Shawarma: Same as doner, lebanese style (the first "a" is silent). Sometimes, however, served on a plate instead of in a pita Pita is the greek name for what is otherwise know as syrian or lebanese bread. It is a round bread cooked without whey, which forms a pouch when opened at one end, and can be stuffed with rice and chicken or tuna chunks to introduce variety in your sandwich diet. -- Jean-Francois Lamy Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Departement d'informatique et de recherche operationnelle, U. de Montreal.
