the following are everything i’ve writton donairs<\/a>. which need to get the international recognition equal to the poutine. i swear if i could convince the local schwarma and kabab places to try donair sauce as a direct complete rpelace ment for the garlic saice (toum?), or even in additoin to, we will swwepp the world with a new food craze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

these notes are direct from my s.o.c. file<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

kiro with no sauce – get a gyro from Souvlaki Pit? orhter? wit no sauce. I add my own sweet sauce to make it a donair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

also, there is a donair shop on George, above curry village (left side George st., just after poutine place? (sadly, that place doies not serve donairs, dispite still as of 2023-09~ having donair in their name.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gyro & shawarma are easy to find in any large town in most of Ontario. My ~70k pop central Ontario town has at least a dozen options as well as “Pita Pit”. Falafel, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s rare is the Donair<\/a>. Think gyro with cheddar cheese (optional), onions, tomatoes (optional) and the most incredibly addictive sweet sauce instead of garlic-centric. Basically condensed milk + sugar + vinegar (maybe). Perfect sauce for the spicy vertical spit-roasted beef (instead of the lamb, beef or chicken of a gyro).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly mostly limited to the East Coast. And Alberta for some odd reason. A chain called Greco Donair tried a push into Ontario ~20 years ago, maybe a dozen stores, all gone within 5 years. Ontario-folk just didn’t get donairs. I tried, too. Weekly lunch trip for the year our local outpost survived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023-12-15 – sent this army story to youtuber chef… https:\/\/youtu.be\/LXXUqe9JiY8?si=5eM-r-yqwsv-PeJG<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was in the army, stationed in Gagetown, NB, a Greco Donair was on the way home from the local draft beer parlour (The Fort). Donairs are perfect for a late night alcohol absorber. I order the usual 2 regular with onions, cheese, extra sauce. To go. In a foil wrap, in a paper bag, one in each coat pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Left, right, left, right, stumble back to the barracks. Pass out face first on bed, clothing including coat still on. Wake up next morning. Hungry but don’t wanna shower & etc. to be presentable for mess hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But hey! What’s this? Slightly warm donairs in my pockets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I only ate one of them. The other went in the fridge for late night snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
