A few. I can't catalog them in detail as we usually warm up stuff in 
camp. Usually stews and such pre-cooked at home and frozen. Almost 
always cheese-goo at some point. However, we now go to the Gyro place 
at least once while we are there. Often grabbing one on the way to the 
Great Court. I think this food vender may also have a similar shop at 
Pennsic. Hmmm. I seem to remember having a problem with that vender 
last Gulf Wars because they had a sign out that advertised a dinner 
deal including Gyros. I finally understood that the sign was wrong, and 
shouldn't have been put up. Yhey took it down. Because of the rules 
they could not serve complete meals at Gulf Wars. You can buy the 
sandwich, the dolmas, the drink etc. You just can't sell them as a 
package. At least that is my understanding of what was said.
