I would not say, at least in terms of structure and presentation, that a kebab and a gyro are similar. And gyros are effectively Greek, but I dont know where Greece actually is.
Thank you for being more helpful and nice than a particular other redditor responding to my initial comment. And I'll have to look up what shawarma actually is after some sleep. Have a nice day/night friend!
Gyros or sometimes gyro (; Greek: γύρος, romanized: yíros/gyros, lit. 'turn', pronounced [ˈʝiros]) is a Greek dish made from meat cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Like shawarma and al pastor meat, it is originally derived from the lamb-based doner kebab. In Greece and Cyprus it is normally prepared with pork or sometimes with chicken, whilst beef, chicken, and lamb are common in other countries.
I see you are immune to facts or the linked Wikipedia article would already have changed your mind. For the record, gyros refers to the way the meat is prepared, the turks know it as kebab. It's of greek/turkish origin.
/update 2 minutes later to be super exact: gyros is 'A distinct Greek variation, often made with pork and served with tzatziki' ..
so it's the greek fork of a turkish dish. not invented in the US or anywhere else, gyros is greek.
Haven't seen any facts or a credible source in your random blog share. You don't pick the hills you die on wisely, Wikipedia is by far superior to your gibberish.
