Restaurant menu described my gyro as pita filled with gyro meat. Very tasty, but what exactly is it? Beef? Lamb?
Dog? Horse? WTF?

It's usually a combo of beef and lamb.

Combo of lamb and beef, about 80% lamb.

Usually a beef/lamb/filler mix. Yum.
Think of it as an upscale hot dog.

Most of the fast food places use beef and fillers. Traditionally it is lamb.

see pictures in the above site and youll see meat being cooking on a spike that is gyro.
Here in Greece we have them made out of layers of lamb, or chicken.
hope you got your answer and happy eating.
