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")

Replying to @arthur_affect @Tsilkani and
"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)
