Mixed with brown sugar, ginger, tarragon, cinnamon, pepper, garlic powder, and salt it's fine.

I'm a bit surprised that lamb is considered to be rare. I don't eat it like every single day or anything, but it's not that uncommon.

Well, it's overpriced because there isn't much of a market for it. Though I guess there was probably a small bump in sales after The Avengers movie. It's really not a part of American cuisine culture like cows and pigs, and more of a special occasion food.

If you ate more, they would raise and sell more and then it would be cheaper! Start being part of the solution instead of part of the problem. Or move somewhere with a lot of Greeks, it's probably cheaper in their part of town.

Where is the occupy movement when we need a "Less ******* More Cooking" protest for lower lamb prices?

Nah. Probably why it's more expensive in the store. They buy it all up to sell in their restaurants. It's not like a Gyro is expensive relative to a hamburger (and the amount of meat in both). Although.... the Swedish/Persian bakery down the street does charge an extra buck for lamb kabobs compared to beef or chicken, so who knows? Oh. And they make an amazing meatball sandwich! Beets? Who knew?

I bet it's vegan.

Gyro, Carne Asada? What's the difference?

The sheep used in Carne Asada are bigger and moo.

The street taco vendors in Tijuana use the exact same vertical rotisserie that gyros are cooked on (and Shawarma for that matter). I'm not actually clear on the precise type of meat being cooked though, but damn is it good after a bunch of margaritas.
