Hi Anna,
Going by the idea that the simplest answer is usually the right one, are you looking for a Gyro?
It kind of sounded like it, so I thought I'd take a stab at it.
Flatbread, yes; minced meat and spices, yes: only you fold it in half and eat it like a sandwitch instead of pizza style.
I'm just guessing...
Here is a recipe with a picture, that should probably give you a good idea if I'm close to what you remember.

Good Luck!

If you can't be a shining example, be a terrible warning!
Resurrecting another thread:
I saw in am old National Trust magazine (I think it was, anyway) a chocolate stollen. It was only the picture, and it gave a link to the recipe, which, by the time I saw it had been removed from the website.
It appeared to be a chocolate loaf cake in its shape, and looked like a soft and gooey chocolate (was it marzipan?) centre through it.
I believe it was a recipe that was featured in a 'chocolate recipe' competition, if that's any help.
Any chance that someone copied the recipe - and still has it?
Is this anything like it?

I'll try that again!
Thanks Toffeeapple - I wouldn't mind trying this - although looking at the ingredients, it doesn't appear to have chocolate in the marzipan centre.
I wonder if I could melt some chocolate, or add cocoa to the marzipan mix - maybe that may work?
Hi Toffeeapple,
If only I could find the picture, and show you what it looked like - the centre of the stollen looked much darker and a little bit gooey - and chocolatey.
Both my son and daughter are chocoholics, so at birthday and celebrations, I like to try something they haven't tasted before.
Can I post a recipe here for one of those chocolatey gorgeousness?
Thanks Toffeeapple,
I have now seen another on Google images -

though this isn't the same one as I saw in the National Trust mag - but it certainly does have a chocolateyness about it ............
Of course!
And how shall I send it?
This reminds me of when my daughter was at University, her housemate mentioned that her Mother had just discovered e-mail, and asked her daughter if she could send her new knitted jumper that way ...... ah bless!
