I'd certainly agree that the cooking method is of great importance. I seem to recall that lamb is also used quite a bit. Frankly, it surprises me that someone is selling gyro sandwiches where the meat is not cooked on a Gyro.
I'll have to check my Greek recipes to see if lamb is used.
Time passes: I checked, and was confusing shawarma with the gyro. Authentic, as best as I can determine, is pork, and defintely served with tzaziki. That Recipezaar recipe is far from authentic ...
BTW, there are a number of taquerias here that cook some of their pork on a device like a Gyro. I say "like a Gyro" because I've not compared the various taqueria spits to a more common Gyro. But, in any case, it's Good Eats!
