Sami strikes back with Largest Gyros

A Cypriot Lebanese Restaurateur has   shown his cookery skills to the world.  He might have as well wanted the world to know the new dimensions he has set in his trade.  Sami Eid the man   who has created 4022 Kg of gyros   and sliced it to the passerby in the Paphos Harbour.

And to make it look tasty   he had dressed the gyros meat   which was mainly   made of pork  with 150 Kg of spices  and 100Kg of salt. The structure to roast the gyros meat involved 1.73 meters stainless steel  skewer  surrounded by 72 grills . This was powered by 4 horsepower motor. A 2 ton natural gas tank provided the fuel to heat the meat mass.

Gyros is a rotisserie meat, or the pita sandwich it is usually found in. In addition to the meat, there are also various salads and sauces inside the pita. The most common fillings are tomato, cucumber and onions.  The    gyros   is similar to the Turkish doner kebab, being meat roasted in vertically rotating cones from which slices are cut. Gyros and souvlaki are sometimes used as interchangeable terms in Greece although they refer to two different dishes. 

The gigantic meat fest was recorded by Paphos   Mayor   Savvas Vergas and the Record Certification Committee made up of the General Director of Paphos Hospital Dr Phylaktis Constantinides and Deputy District Officer Ioannis Metaxas. 

Sami’s record smashed the previous record for the largest gyro  set in Mexico  which weighed 3750 kg .And much before the Mexican record  the same record was set in Cyprus  by Sami Eid himself  who had cooked 1814 Kg Gyros  from 2150 chickens.

So we can say that Sami   can be called as a man with indomitable spirits. He set one which was broken  in Mexico and now he has hit back even stronger thus defeating the Mexican Record to reclaim his title back.

The Largest Gyro weighed 4022 Kg and was set by Sami Eid at Paphos, Cyprus on January 12, 2009.
