I guess over here it would be something from a greek kebab shop ....or the equivalent of what we would call a "wrap" ....(usually done with chicken in tortilla ....). I love pitta bread to eat moussaka ....or naan bread to eat curryClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888698683201580237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-63062917596500677512007-08-12T12:03:00.000-04:002007-08-12T12:03:00.000-04:00OK. A gyro is a Greek "sandwich."It is pita bread-...OK. A gyro is a Greek "sandwich."<BR/><BR/>It is pita bread--a flat round bread thing--wrapped around sliced lamb, with chopped tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and a white yogurt sauce. Scrumptious. The stand was run by a Greek group, so this was a pretty darn good gyro. <BR/><BR/>Here in the US we have tons of international food places readily accessible all over. The fair is fun because lots of different kinds of foods are available. That's why James said he didn't want to go--he's on a diet! <BR/><BR/>Counties are the "middle" divisions of each state. New Jersey has 21 counties. Mine is Middlesex--sound familiar. Within each county are municipalities--tonwships or towns. (This is not true in all states as each has its own unique structure) South Brunswick, of some 26 square miles, is one township in the county. Towns have local governments, the county has a government, the state has a government, and over all the whole group of United States has a government. <BR/><BR/>I actually think the concept of counties in New Jersey was born from the British heritage of the state.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29272013.post-7357880143977301422007-08-12T04:00:00.000-04:002007-08-12T04:00:00.000-04:00A county show is usually good - although I think o...A county show is usually good - although I think our counties are a good bit bigger than yours. think your county is more like our district...but smaller!<BR/><BR/>now, what do you mean by a "gyro"? i can't visualise such a thing that could be "finished up" since that makes me think of something to eat, whereas "gyro" doesn't....Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888698683201580237noreply@blogger.com
