Good grief…I made the mistake of starting to read the comments. The stupid, it burns!

Shawarma > falafel

Enough of this idle chitchat. Where does she stand on the REAL issues? Coke or Pepsi?

I am glad the donair has replaced Christians being slaughtered by muslims as a headline. Those Christians can be so tiresome in their grief.

Small things fill small minds.

It is well known that doairs will make your ass look big. Perhaps that is why the burka is popular in the Middle East where donairs are from.

Don’t take credit for our precious donairs! We have so little!

Saskatoons > blueberries

Point of contention, gyro’s are from the Mediterranean area. Donairs are entirely Halagonian/N.Scotian.

I thought Edmonton already had an official food – green onion cakes.

Gyros good, donairs better. And yeah, donairs are strictly a Halifax creation.
In this same vein, anyone got a good recipe for donair sauce? My stash has gone way past the best before date.

Gyro and donair are the same thing are they not …. And the Mediterranian ocean washes onto the shores of the Middle East … Same thing … Get a map.

Sooooooooo. 75% of the Maritimes are on welfare, and the other 25% fled for better areas……and this asshatt is worried about a donair? And they let people that would/did actually vote for her run loose? Yup. The stupid burns.

How to Make Donair Sauce

Hate to break it to you but guess what the Turkish word for a “gyro[s]” is? It’s “döner”. Look familiar? In fact, the Greeks got the gyro[s] from the Turks. The word means circle or rotation (hence “gyroscope”) which is a translation of döner.
The döner predates the Halifax creation and there’s nothing unusual about filling it with beef instead of lamb (lamb, beef or chicken are the standard meat options – but never pork, for academic reasons). You can get “doner kebabs” pretty well across Turkey and Europe.
Yup, they’re the same thing, though I suppose your Haligonian “donair” might be considered, in Canadian terms at least, a unique regional variety with its own particular sauce.

And it you fart while eating a donair and wearing a niqab, it yields the worst “dutch oven” ever.

Donairs are sold on the streets of Oz, and have been for decades. I didn’t meet a single vendor who had the foggiest idea where Halifax was. Haligonians native food is more along the line of salt cod.
More CBC drivel. You shouldn’t send traffic to their website.

Did a tour of the plant in Edmonton that grinds and spices the donair meat. The spice smell was so strong it burned my sinus’ and I haven’t been able to eat a donair since.

Donairs it became because, to this day, nobody knows how to pronounce “gyro”. Donairs have been around southern Ontario for decades, long before the mass immigration of maritimers.

The big problem with gyros/doners/donairs, whether you eat them in Greece, Turkey, elsewhere in Europe or anywhere else, is this: they’re w-a-a-y too good.

That’s o.k. The people in Halifax have no idea that there is such a place as “anywhere else in the world.” The ones that did went there and never went back to tell the others.

This.
Was just in Europe (France, Belgium and the Netherlands) a few weeks ago. “Döner kebab” is incredibly common in the Low Countries, although France has still to make it a staple of street food outside of places like certain banlieues of Paris…

Nova Scotia derives 40% of its government revenue from transfer payments.

“France has still to make it a staple of street food outside of places like certain banlieues of Paris…”
Apollon on Rue Jean Nicot: you can then wander east along Rue Saint-Dominique about 350 metres to l’Esplanade des Invalides where you can sit under the trees and munch happily on your gyros.

+1 ! Its that kind of a night. We move on to Newfy jokes later, then Ford/Layton/Tory jokes, then Saskabush, nothing funny any longer about Alberta, and the BC jokes will go right over their heads (and snag their noses) Ha!

“Nova Scotia derives 40% of its government revenue from transfer payments.”
Back in the day, it was the Maritime colonies – prosperous from lumber, ships and fishing – who were wary of hitching up with that dubious “United Province of Canada” in some sort of newfangled federation.
They figured they’d end up paying for it all.

I love a good donair; the burps afterwards are potent though. The Esso in Wetaskiwin has food bar that makes the best ones. Better than Queen’s Donair on Whyte(Edmonton) or Nisku.

Noooo. Don’t you remember the old joke: Ivan from Edmonton flew to Hawaii for a holiday. There he was met by a beauteous maiden who greeted him with a lei and said “Aloha, Hawaii”. Ivan took the koubassa he was wearing from off his neck, placed it tenderly around the neck of the maiden, and said” “Ivan, Edmonton”.
