Tzatziki Sauce

I'm addicted... always have been my whole life.

Anyone else?

Is the pronounciation close to "Year-ost"? That's the way my mom taught me, but she's not Greek.

The closest I can describe it is "Year-oh" singular and "Year-os" plural. I had her pronounce it a few times so I could burn it into my long term memory. She was happy to do so after explaining how she gets pissed when people butcher it and say "jai-roe".

I learned to love gyros when I was a pastor at a church on North Clark in Chicago with a Greek restaurant next door.
I have a friend, who I have told that it's 'year-os' but he continues to order 'guy-ros' in a restaurant. I'm waiting for a waitress to slap him to his senses.

I think it's funny to hear the way people say things sometimes... The absolute best is the way people kill the Italian food.

What the F**k is a Manigot? I mean is it sooooooo hard to say it right? The vowel is on the end for a reason. Makes me sick to my stomach when I hear people in a restaurant.

Go order your Calimars and your Manigots, you friggin' fools.

Ok. Sorry, back to Greek food.

You think that's funny. I'm broiling up some boneless center cut chops (as I type this!) with spices and then I'm going to let it cool for 10 min. cut it paper thin and make a sandwich with it. Mayo? NO WAY... you know what is going on that bread!

Ymmmmmmmmm Ymmmmmmmmmm!

I just had homemade Gyros last night, along with homemade sauce - YUMMY!

Now, if I can only get a hold of some Oktapodaki, I would be blissful!

Years ago, in the dark days, when I lived north of Detroit, I had a job for a while in Greektown - naturally, I "sampled" quite a bit.
(sigh) those were the days...


Oh... they pronounced it: Ye - roh (ye, as in Ye olde shoppe, and roh, as in fish roe)
