What's a Turkish wrap called?
I had one with all veggies, though they also had chicken+mushrooms, and stuff with cheese. I can't remember the name, but it had about 7 characters and looked something like gomeme, though it's definitely not spelled like that. 69.22.242.15 (talk) 19:26, 27 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Falafel is 7 letters, but spelled nothing like the word you proposed. Note that "falafel" refers either to what looks like meatballs, or to a wrap like you describe. StuRat (talk) 19:31, 27 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Dürüm or Yufka, maybe? --Stephan Schulz (talk) 19:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Shawarma maybe? It's not Turkish, but still Eastern Mediterranean.  Other similar wraps include Gyros which are Greek.  Wikipedia also has an article on Turkish cuisine which may be helpful; Turkish cuisine has some overlap with neighboring areas as well, such as the Levant or Greece.  -- Jayron 32 20:12, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Never mind all that. I think found it.  Is it Gözleme?  Almost the same spelling, seven letters, wrapped food (actually, more of a pasty than a wrap, but certainly on the continuum between the two).  I'd bet it's something like that.  -- Jayron 32 20:21, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Bingo. Thank you. 69.22.242.15 (talk) 01:41, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
