      I agonized about this but finally picked no because any configuration of schwarma and tzatziki sauce is a gyro, the flatbread is incidental, if I stole a Doritos tortilla shell from taco bell and put those ingredients in, it'd be a hardshell gyro https://twitter.com/The_Slavsquatch/status/1229490542918197249 …

      The flatbread is not incidental! The flatbread is integral! I don't call fries covered in schwarma and tzatziki a gyro, even if they are delicious.

      Those are schwarma plates! Gyros are wrapped in flatbreads! I will die on this culinary hill!

      Shawarma and gyro are synonyms, shawarma is literally a Turkish calque of the Greek word gyro (they both mean "turning", cf. the French word "rotisserie")

      "Gyro", "shawarma" and the "döner" in "döner kebab" are all translations of the same word for the same thing, "turning" meat on a spit (IIRC döner kebabs came first)

          The major practical difference between gyro and shawarma is that gyros can be pork, because Greece is a predominantly Christian rather than Muslim nation (and indeed in Greece they typically are)
