"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

In a large skillet, fry the meat loaf in the remaining oil in batches until crisp. On each pita bread, layer tomato, onion and meat loaf slices; top with some Tzatziki sauce. Carefully fold the pitas in half. Serve with remaining sauce. Makes 8 servings.
