[Sca-cooks] Gyro? Hero?

[Michael Gunter]

I just got an email from my compatriot
in the kitchen, Baroness Alys, who
had a random thought. She realized that
a gyro is pronounced "Yee-roh". She
also knows that a submarine sandwich
is referred to as a "hero" in that
area.

She feels, and with a good argument,
that it may be named be that a long
sandwich with meats as a "Yee-roh"
and then Americanized to "Hero".

Or it could simply be coincidence and
the sandwich was so named because it
was of "heroic" proportions.

Yeah, I'm ready to go home from work
today.
