How do you pronounce Greece’s favorite food?

It's not quite as contentious as "gif."

Remember Vassilis Anastassopoulos, the restaurant worker we spoke with at the top of our first show in Athens? He talked to us a little about gyros.

“It’s different kind of meat with pita bread, and it’s the No. 1 most favorite food,” he said.

Well, there was a little bit of the interview we didn’t play for you, where he lets us know it’s usually pronounced “gear-os” not “gy-ro.”

Which is good to know, because I get that wrong all the time.
