Aren't those like turkish meat loaf?
so I'm still trying to figure this out...
Is the Doner Kebab specifically Turkish? Because of the places near us, 2 are Palestinian, 2 are Greek, one is Moroccan and the other is just general Mediterranean.
And is there a specific meat that's used? Lamb is meat I'm most familiar with here, but also steak and chicken. Not pork though. Sometimes the meat is cooked on a spit and sliced, other times it's ground and cooked in links or patties.

It's really not important. Let's talk about chocolate covered strawberries.
It has to be cooked on a spit and sliced off in order for it to be a true doner kebab. I'm not 100% sure about the meat, though... I think it's a mixture of beef and lamb. Something like that.
Excuse me, Mr. Elitist?
Thanks Colton, for the explanation. So exactly how is it different from gyros? Typically that meat is cooked on a spit, it's served on a warm pita with onions and tomatoes and a cucumber/yogurt sauce.
From pictures of both, it seems the wrap/bread on the doner kebab can have a bit more variation and they may also have lettuce and some crumbled cheese - - but otherwise they look about the same.
at any rate, we haven't had gyros in a long time, and there's a great place near us, totally run by Greeks and makes me think of the Billy Goat Tavern made famous in the SNL skit

might have to have Mickey's for dinner tonight!
lol at log and the SuLC crew... h8 filled inferiority complexes abound.
Yes, very similar to a gyro--when the gyro is done right. Perhaps some subtle differences in the seasonings used, that type of thing.
I've had some incredible gyros.. but that pic Rev posted looked much more like a sandwich, iirc.
I can't tell from his pic. It's more typically (at least in my experience) served in a folded over pita-type bread.

Here you go, this looks what I've typically had:
Yeah, that's definitely it. Maybe it was just the angle or my failing memory, but Rev's seemed to look more like a sandwich on sourdough or something..
Oh, and this might depend on the place, but my favorite doner kebab shop in Germany served ones that were easily 50% larger than the typical gyro size.
