Gyros or Greek Kebab are made from chopped meat – usually pork or chicken – formed into a large meat loaf for slow roasting on the vertical rotisserie. Thin portions of the cooked meat are shaved off and served in pitta bread with onion and Tzatziki (which would be a great scrabble word) but is actually a Greek yoghurt-garlic-cucumber sauce. The Greek Souvlaki is similar to Turkish Shish Kebab and consists of small skewers of pork, barbecued, then served in plain pitta, or with salad. Lamb or chicken variants are usually served with rice, potatoes and tzatziki, can be eaten directly from the skewer (and straight from the Just Eat delivery bike).

Thinking healthy. Think the classic Greek Salad, packed with leafy greens, tomatoes, high-fibre beans, onions and cucumbers. Low-cal and high on nutrients. Clean and green for a Mediterranean-themed dose of vitamins A and C. Then use J and E (Just Eat) for a stress-free delivery. Moussakais another iconic Greek dish, consisting of sliced eggplant (aka aubergine), minced beef and a moreish white sauce. Its origins date back to when the Arabs first introduced the eggplant. (Which would also make it Moorish.) Moussaka is now found throughout the Levant, Middle East and Balkans, with many a wonderful range of local and regional variations. Enjoy with green beans or salad. Order through the Just Eat App.
