2. the meat on the rotating stick is very unappetizing.

1. When ordering that Greek delicacy on a pita, it's pronounced "yee-ROW". When referring to that vital piece without which autopilots wouldn't work it's a "gye-ROW" 
2. That pressed and formed meat looks a damned sight better than a real side of lamb roasted on a spit!
