Can't wait to go this weekend. We are going to eat like fools, drink
wine, and bring home assorted pastries and lamb by the pound.

It was fun! My husband I ate gyros, drank wine, and shared a frappe.
One son ate a lamb sandwich; the other ate pastitsio. The kids had
baklava sundaes later on. We thought we brought home a pound of sliced
lamb, Greek potatoes, a Greek salad, and pastries, but when we got home
we saw our order was completely wrong. My husband is going back to get it
straightened out.

It always amazes me that Greeks and Middle Easterners manage to serve only
the gristle and cartilage from the lamb. What do they do with the actual
meat? My working theory is that they save it for themselves and laugh at
the rest of us.

Exceptions are so rare as to be almost nonexistent!

They might save the meat for their more pleasant patrons. I don't get
any cartilage unless I order a lamb shank.
