Ingredients

fladenbrot · pork · tomato · onion · tzatziki · oregano

Walk past a German Greek restaurant at lunch and the smell is oregano, not the cumin-and-garlic of the Turkish *Döner* stand next door. *Gyros im Fladenbrot* is the Greek answer to the same question: spit-roasted meat in warm flatbread, but here the meat is pork, seasoned the Mediterranean way with oregano, thyme and marjoram, dressed with *Tzatziki* rather than the German trio of sauces. It looks like its Turkish cousin from across the street and tastes from the first bite like a different country.

The meat is the argument. Thin slices of pork shoulder marinated in oil, lemon, garlic and a heavy hand of dried oregano and thyme, stacked on a vertical spit and shaved off in crisp-edged strips as the outer layer chars. The bread is a Greek-style *Fladenbrot* or *Pita*, softer and often lightly oiled, warmed on the grill until pliable and pocketed or folded rather than left flat. Inside go the hot pork, a simple salad of tomato, onion and lettuce, sometimes a few chips in the Greek manner, and the defining sauce: *Tzatziki*, thick strained yoghurt with grated cucumber, garlic and dill, cool and sharp against the warm spiced meat. A good one has real char on the pork, the herbs and lemon clear, the *Tzatziki* generous and garlicky, the bread warm and holding together. A poor one is grey steamed-tasting meat with no crust, oregano the only seasoning anyone bothered with, *Tzatziki* thin and watery, the bread cold so the whole thing goes slack in the hand.

Seasoning is what marks it apart, so it has to be assertive. The marinade wants lemon, garlic and enough dried oregano to read clearly; a final squeeze of lemon and a little salt over the carved meat at the pass keeps it bright. Skip that and it drifts toward a bland *Döner* impostor, which misses the entire point of choosing it.

Variations sit on the Greek side of the street. A chicken version, *Hähnchengyros*, is lighter and leans harder on lemon; the same meat and *Tzatziki* open on a plate with rice and salad rather than wrapped is the restaurant *Gyros Teller*; a feta-and-olive addition pushes it further toward a Greek salad in bread. The plated *Souvlaki*, skewered grilled pork rather than shaved off a spit, is a genuinely different dish with its own following, distinct enough that it deserves its own article rather than being crowded in here.
