What is the purpose of white sauce on a gyro?
To me, it’s to mitigate the flavor of the hot sauce. I normally find hot sauce offensive. It attacks your tastebuds and makes things unpleasant.
But on a gyro? It’s spread out. It sizzles, rather than burns. And it’s all the more delicious.
At this level, everyone can be hot sauce. It’s easy, and it impresses no one. You need it in a scene, because otherwise you’re dealing with flavorless hunks of lamb, but I think the trick to doing this is learning how to be noble, complementary white sauce.
It’s a lot easier to know this than it is for me to practice.
Also, my lunch today was excellent.
