Recipe talk:Halifax-style donair

I think you need to go into some detail on the sauce -- without that, it sounds like a pretty standard d&ouml;ner kebab or gyro, to me at least. --jtl talk 21:09, 28 June 2007 (CDT)


 * It's actually based on that (large Greek and Lebanese population in Halifax), but the sauce is what really makes it stand out. I've just finished the article on it. --Kels 21:15, 28 June 2007 (CDT)

Yeah, you can't fool me, that's a gyro! Meat on a stick! human be in 21:23, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, but a Lebanese-style gyro with a sweet white sauce and maybe cheese. Believe me, it makes a difference.  You can also get really good souvlaki back east too.  And hot pepperoni in links, not just slices. --Kels 21:28, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Ok, i need to visit Halifax. My aunt and uncle are touring the Maritimes right now.  Detroit has a huge Lebanese and Greek population, so this is my food, baby.MMM.mMM.  And just to help human with terminology: Gyro meat is the greek equivalent of Shewarma...both are mixes of lamb and beef or sometimes solo or chicken, put on a spit and slow roasted.  The best are cut off and re-fried on the grill.  Ground beef on a stick is Kefta kebab.  Gyro/shewarma are never served on a stick.--PalMD-yada yada 21:31, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Schwarma is the meat-on-pita of choice in Ottawa, and you can find schwarma joints all over the city, although it's not as ubiquitous as the donair in Halifax, which even a lot of corner stores carry. And the ones that don't often have spicy pepperoni in the fridges.  I tried what they call a "donair" in Ottawa, and they asked me if I wanted garlic sauce or mayo on it!  And they added lettuce!  Sacrilege!! --Kels 21:34, 28 June 2007 (CDT)
 * The best shewarma near me is in a gas station! Its called Mr. Kebab.--DoxXox-DawkT0wk 08:00, 29 June 2007 (CDT)
