LMAO! I DO feel rejected about that, Pat. How DARE you ask me what a donair is?!?!

A donair is a Nova Scotian thing. It was invented by a Lebanese or Greek guy (I can't remember which) in the early 70s. It's similar to a gyro. It's ground, spicy beef, rolled and roasted on a spit, then shaved while it's hot. It goes on a grilled Greek pita (or grilled pizza dough), then it's topped with chopped raw onions and tomatoes and then... the best part... donair sauce... which is tangy and sticky and sweet. Then it's all rolled up in tinfoil and you try to eat it like an ice cream cone without making a terribly sticky mess... which is impossible. The sauce is made from condensed milk, vinegar, and garlic. Most pizzerias in Nova Scotia serve donairs, as well as donair pizza and donair subs.

My dad owned a donair shop when I was in junior high. He still makes awesome donairs.
