The History of the Gyro

Yes, the history, and more important, the pronunciation!

I am shocked that they are of such relatively recent invention, (they were certainly a fixture, and in shops and stands that seemed to beckon from under the grime of decades of use, by the time of my earliest ventures into the city.)

Himself grew very fond of them when he lived in Gree... well, be honest, in Astoria.
I'm glad because I would eat lamb any chance offered to me, and other than in this form he hates it, (cucumbers too, but he also scarfs down that wonderful yogurty sauce)
