Haven't Had That In Awhile!

[Hammock Rider]

Mmmmm-White Castle Sliders! When I was a teen and worked in a theater I would show up on my day off and watch free movies all day with a bag of these by my side. I could easily eat 20 in one sitting and finish a large fries and jumbo coke. I ate 3a few years ago and was nauseous the rest of the day. But at least now I don't have the pickle and onion burps

Glumpkies.Also known as Pigs-in-a-Blanket...stuffed cabbage.
My step mom used to make these....I haven't had any in over 20 years...

There is a restaurant near my house that does these really well.  To my mind its the only legitimate use of cabbage.

Doner kebab. Fairly easy to find where I used to live, with the best being served at a little diner across the street from my office. The owner was from Cyprus and had the machine shipped over from Turkey. Prepared the meat himself, all fresh and no filler. On a pita with tomato, lettuce, tzatsiki, etc., it can't be beat.

That's not him, by the way. It's a picture from Wikipedia.

I love a kebab as much (or more) than the next man.  But that picture looks like he's serving roast leg.

I actually bought a 2 liter of RC cola about a month ago.

UGH!  It has seriously gone downhill in taste.
I wasn't even able to finish a single glass, and when it sat in my fridge for over 2 weeks, I ended up dumping it down the drain.

Awful, awful soda.   

When I was around 14 or 15 years old, one of my neighbors worked for RC.  Heand hiswife were good friends with my parents.  One time, he brought over a promotional 33 1/3 RPM record album of various versions of the "What's good enough for other folks ain't good enough for me and my RC" commercial jingle.  Boy, did I get sick of my father playing that thing.

Sounds like it, only made exclusively with lamb, I guess.  Gyros can be made with any kind of meat (I sw goat meat in Greece).  Maybe the spices are different too.

I always understood Gyros to be made of lamb. . .

Gyro is the Greek variation of doner kebab. In Canada, it seems like the two are almost interchangeable. I think it really depends on whether the owner of the restaurant is Greek or Turkish. There is actually a Canadian variation called a "donair" which isn't all that different either. I think the sauce might be what makes it a donair.

That cucumber sauce is AWESOME, , I had a gyro where they used ranch dressing, it was god awful, partially because I was expecting such a different taste than what I got. Pretty sure I tried for a refund.

They're not bad with hummus. I used to love them with hummus and onions, but I needed my wife's permission, because it made me stink for about two days.

Memories coming back... of a trip to Canada I had tried to block out of my memory.     I believe I had donairs.  The sauce is definitely different than a gyro.  They were good, though.  Still not sure whether a doner kebab and a gyro are different names for the same dish, but they're all good.

More like two different countries' variations of the same dish. I think one is actually derived from the other. In any case, the guy I usually bought from was a Turk, so it was a doner. It tasted similar to the gyros I bought from the Greek who owned the restaurant many years before him. I suspect both dishes were Canadianized.
