The best gyro I had was from a lunch truck in front of the Univ of PA in Phila. No, I do not want to know about the unsanitary conditions anyone may have heard of.

I had Greek yesterday, but they did not have any lamb
settled for beef Gyro ? plate with Greek Salad, Rice, Yummy.
I first tried it (lamb) in London..Pretty good, sweet tasting though, like you say, Cat.
Soul Food Cookers like to cook lamp with collards, etc. Red Beans & Rice... Huh?
A GREEK restaurant with no lamb???--sm
not really GREEK then. geez. I LOVE real greek gyros!! yum!
as far as venison tenderloin, it depends on the age of the deer that was killed, how it was dressed and how soon, and most particularly on the COOK! The best meal I ever had was venison stew by someone who KNEW how to cook it!!! y'all made me hungry now. thanks!
you went to a Greek restaurant and they didn't have souvlaki?
You should've asked for your money back!
I've met folks from all over the world and learned different types of cooking here and there...just home cookin'...nothin' fancy.
They're are so many different varieties of southern cooking as in every other part of the country. I'm from NY and didn't know squat about jowl meat in the beans and the greens....salted everything...fat on top of fat...or deer for that matter. I was voted least likely to ever whack, hack, pack and stack a deer for the freezer...and name the parts (including making deer sausage and bambi burgers with an old-timey hand grinder) and deer jerky.
Lamb would be a delicacy on anyone's table these days and isn't usually used in southern cooking.
Don't get me started on seafood...lived near the ocean and bay and I didn't realize how expensive that stuff was until I moved inland 'cause I just went out and fished or harvested it.
Now, give me a bambi burger and I know what to do with that!  Cat
