newnumber6Went down to the Taste of the Danforth festival today. Bit hot out and man was it crowded, but I got the nectar of the gods... a Gyro. Okay, the Gyro was only okay and the situation being what it was it wasn't freshly made or anything, but an okay gyro is still 10x better than most other meals.
Also picked up a small box of honeyballs.
Edit: Oh yes, my brother and I have agreed that there is a mass conspiracy on the part of Greeks to mess with the minds of non-Greeks, with respect to the pronounciation of gyros. If you order a gyro and you don't preface it with some type of greeting in Greek that shows you know the language, they will correct your pronounciation of gyros - but never in the same way twice. If you say 'Yeee-ross', they say, "No, it's "Gee-ross". If you say "Gee-ross" they say, "No, it's Gyeeeee-ross". This is because Greeks are subtle.
