[edit] Included Image

The image in this article is so wrong. Not representative of a typical Souvlaki. pinikas 17:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Contacting my Greek friend for a better one :) Aaron Lawrence 06:08, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging

Who wanted to merge this with gyros!?!? Souvlaki and gyros are not the same thing, they are prepared in a different manner! -Alexius Comnenus

I did. I didn't know they aren't the same, since the picture is a gyro here, and the lead paragraph in Gyros says they souvlaki are a different name for gyros. You seem to be Greek (by your name), so I guess you should know better than I. You say the merge suggestion should be removed then? | AndonicO ^{Talk · Sign Here} 20:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Souvlaki is meat on a skewer, where as Gyros is when the meat is cut off a large rotating spit. In both cases the meat can be put in a roll or pita bread.

[edit] Etymology fubar

Greek is older than Latin; Greek did not derive souvla from subula; they are cognate languages, both derived from Indo-European, not from each other.

This "derivation" is Western European bias.

[edit] No french fries in "traditional" version

Hi: I have removed french fries from the list of standard ingredients since they are not part of the "pure" dish and are rather a recent addition, esp. to be found in restaurants that serve tourists. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.7.3.7 (talk) 22:51, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
