Yup, odd that...  Where did they get their start...?  I can think of any
number of reasons for an otherwise inexplicable jump to the Persian
Gulf, mostly involving personal contacts... ;)

Oh, yes, I know what they are, and have had them many a time, even tried
my hand at making some versions of moussaka...  I like my moussaka to
have eggplant... not so keen on the tomato sauce necessarily... eggplant
and bechamel and lamb is quite nice... ;)  But at this particular diner,
they were charging quite a bit more for them than for the gyros...
possibly because of what all came with, or the fact that it was intended
for dinner... but I decided to go with something less... :)  Shouldn't
be, and yet often is... ;)   Actually, had they had a Greek sampler
plate, I might have gone with that, no matter the price, and just
planned on taking some home...  ;)  But they didn't...  

ttyl          neb

... BTW, FWIW, IMHO, yes. OTOH, AAMOF, maybe not. And RTFM.
