Gyro

[Dreepa]

They had Greek Heritage day at the Fisher Cats game awhile back.... gyros...... yum.

[Kat Kanning]

Mmm gyros.  I've had them here, but not off the spit, as far as I know.  There's a greek pizza place in Keene that sells them - pizza down under.

Alton Brown had a "Good Eats" episode on gyros a while back, including how to rig up your own home-made autodoner.

Chicago had great gyros - I grew up a block away from a good place owned by a Greek immigrant. Wikipedia says they were introduced to the US in Chicago in 1968 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyros#United_States, which sounds about right.

Have not found a good place in NH. 
Several good ones in Cambridge, MA, that I can bring home from work when we have cravings.
Manchester does have good bbq (found KC's rib shack from another thread), Mexican (La Caretta) and Brazilian steak (Gauchos Churrascaria).

I think there would be great demand for foods that don't seem to exist in NH. There are diaspora Chicagoans who have brought deep dish pizza, Scala's Italian beef, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-style_hot_dog, and gyros to places like Florida, Arizona, and London.

Anybody been to Portillo's http://www.portillos.com/portillos/look/? I could help finance a franchise in Manchester (and would help the bottom line considerably because my kids would want to go there 2x a week!)

Mr. G's in Merrimack has good Gyros.  Haven't had one there since they rebuilt (Mr. G's burned to the ground not long ago) but before the fire they were outstanding.  The food I've had since they reopened is even better then before.

[mvpel]

Their rebuilt facility is very nicely appointed and appealing, and we liked their pizza a lot.  I do seem to recall that they were serving Gyro-umms, though.

I've eaten the little shiners that pop out of the sand when fresh. Makes a good omelet!

They called these Doner-Kebabs in Germany. It was the first time I've ever tried one, it's a fucking awesome sandwich. Now that I know there are similar type sandwiches here in the states I'll have to find one.

Athens Pizza in Keene and Jaffrey have authentic Gyros!  Check 'em out.

I don't eat out much. I'll have to try them out though.

Pauly's Pockets, 51 Main St., Durham, NH has delicious gyros.  I like their loaded gyro (with turkey, steak and falafel) with hot sauce, extra garbanzo sauce and pretty much everything else they can fit in it.  If the Durham House of Pizza across the street didn't have such good pizza at a reasonable price, I would probably eat at Pauly's more often when I'm on campus.  Unfortunately since money has been tight, I haven't eaten there as often as I'd like to.  They change the oil in the fry-o-later pretty frequently, so it is much cleaner than most restaurants' oil.  The UNH Biodiesel Group tested their oil and found it to be very clean for used oil, and not overused.  IIRC, they use canola oil.  They were donating their used oil to the UNH Biodiesel Group, at least until (according to a friend of mine in our group) our group was effectively shut down by Environmental Health and Safety because of the large amount of combustible liquids in our lab.  I haven't heard back from the professors who were leading the group since I found out that our processor cannot be used on campus anymore until further notice.

Does that have anything to do with the Secret Service visit?

Now does anyone know where I can get Old Wisconsin Snack Bites?

Gyros for biodiesel,  Ron Paul for President, there may be some hope....

Little shiners in omlettes---now there is a true camper....

They are called sand eels and used for bait but they are not eels. They look like any  other small thin fish and in season they pop right out of the sand and you can scoop 'em up fresh, bring them home and fry them up! Sort of like poor man's smelts.

I'm also an experienced bluefish and tuna fisherman as well as rockfish (striper) surfcaster....I have taught many boys how to set up their tri-directional hook/line/sinker, set the worm, and reel in flounder and pollock as well.

I used to go out fishing for Tinker Mackerel  from  Seabrook as a teen.  The Pollack traveled with them and we caught a lot of them.  The eastmans,owners of the boats called the Pollack Seabrookers and had a barrel for them and an aunt with a fish store.  I understand they are good for chowder or stew.  You can't beat Tinker Mackerel fishing for action.
Flounder and its variations are almost the perfect fish.  Easy to catch, easy to clean, easy to find all of the bones, not too fishy and versatile.
