    I don’t think the shawarma bread is called pita

    Technically, any method of serving meat from a vertical rotisserie is a shawarma. The bread is typically pita bread, but you can use laffa or tombik bread instead if you want

      There is also the shawarma plate… Said meat plus sides like rice, hummus, babaganoush(sp?), falafel, etc.

      🤔 I know what we’re having for lunch today…

      TIL that the Mexican “Al Pastor” is technically a shawarma. I was previously aware that it is based on Mediterranean cuisine and adapted by migrants to the ingredients available in Mexico. Neat fact.
