You never pronounce the "g" - it's gyro in Greek and the best ones are in
the Greek all night diner in Denver; follow any Denver tanguero after a milonga
to find the place. There are also good late-night gyros in Toronto and
Montreal; and you can get them in Boston but they close too early like everything
else in Boston. In NYC the speciality is souvlaki; buy it on the street
after any milonga, at any time. Not to start an argument or anything, but I've
not seen them in Argentina nor Uruguay.
Wraps are usually spoiled vegetables in bad bread, typically found in US
shopping malls; these should be avoided - leg wraps sound particularly
disgusting, and while you might be ok eating one in New York, I'd avoid them in the
Midwest where some dancers are conservative about leg consumption.
Over-turned ochos - I think you mean over-turned huevos; not good - order
them over-easy instead. And be careful when you order them; in many Latin
countries the word also refers to that part of the male anatomy that you need a
lot of to be a good tango dancer - for example, don't ask the guy behind the
counter "tiene huevos?", as a woman friend on mine once did. "Si, dos" he
said, holding up 2 fingers - these guys are serious about their anatomy;
probably the reason you never hear them use the words lead and follow as nouns.
I hope this helps your dancing,
Simon
