| 1. In large bowl, combine ground lamb with bread, allspice, coriander, garlic, onion, savory, salt, and pepper, knead thoroughly; mixture should be spicey, though not too herby and hold its shape. | 2. Break into 5 sections, each as large as a navel orange, then break each section into 6 balls. | 3. Knead and flatten slightly to a thickness of about 3/4". | 4. Cut the bacon slices into widths equal to these balls, keeping slices of bacon between them. | 5. Slip a cane skewer through centers and roll gently with palms to smooth edges; there will be 5 or 6 skewers depending on their length. | 6. Cover and refrigerate overnight. | 7. When ready to cook, set on broiler tray or grill and cook under moderate heat, turning every 5 mins, the bacon will baste the meat. | 8. The surface will be crusty and the inside cooked within 25 minutes. | 9. To serve, put out the bread, meat, tomatoes seasoned with vinegar and oil, parsley, and yogurt in separate dishes. | 10. Guests may open the pitas and stuff them with meat and seasonings. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
