A shawarma is very similar to a gyro, both are wrapped in a pita like bread (although I don't think the shawarma bread is called pita). A shawarma tends to have spicier ingredients compared to a gyro, and originates from the Middle East.
Technically, any method of serving meat from a vertical rotisserie is a shawarma. The bread is typically pita bread, but you can use laffa or tombik bread instead if you want
There is also the shawarma plate.... Said meat plus sides like rice, hummus, babaganoush(sp?), falafel, etc.
🤔 I know what we're having for lunch today...
Same, this thread has made me so hungry lol
TIL that the Mexican "Al Pastor" is technically a shawarma. I was previously aware that it is based on Mediterranean cuisine and adapted by migrants to the ingredients available in Mexico. Neat fact.
I thought this is different from Kebab, like in Döner Kebab.
So like a Döner?
Doner and shawarma are the same thing, it's just that doner is the turkish name, shawarma is the arabic name. There's also gyros, which is the Greek name for the same thing.
Edit: should also mention that basically every region in eastern Europe, the caucuses and the middle east has their own regional sauces, types of meat, and use different veggies. Gyros, shawarma and doner are fundamentally the same thing, but there is a lot of variety in which meat, bread, sauces and veggies are offered.
So I get what you mean but that just sounds like "it's the same thing they just changed everything about it" lmao
The fundamental concept of a mixture of different meats and spices cooked on a rotating skewer in an oven, served by scraping off the surface, served with veggies and a yogurt based sauce on pita bread, are all consistent across every country's version of the dish. The individual details vary based on local taates and available ingredients.
Like I side I get it it's just funny to me
