Greek gyros are different though. Its ground meats and greek seasonings which are differnet from the middle eastern "earthy" seasonings. Its ground, like a sausage meat and formed into a loaf for those vertical spinner grilles or sold as a sliced loaf like you saw above. We buy that shit all the time. GFS sells it. Doner kebob is more like meat slices stacked, kind of like a schwarma meat. They layer that meat up along with thin cuts of fat which are all stacked on the spit spike.

No, the original greek gyros are also stacked meat on a vertical spit. The ground meat version, and mixing it with beef, is a relatively recent American innovation that has now become nearly universal. But its still not traditional, its just the version you find basically everywhere now.

Doner vs gyro is basically just the seasonings, and there isnt even much difference there from what I can find.

Maybe youre right I mean they both come from really close place in the world, so it would stand that they were close other than seasonings. Just like many of the eastern eouropean dishes for example. They are sameish, but different if that makes sense. Like Polocks make their own version of Russian Borsch...etc...
