    I had no idea what a donair was, so I looked it up. It’s delicious: Here’s a video explaining it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=r1DTbtymmqU

    Sounds soooo good.

    “The donair is similar to the gyro, doner and kebab but is its own unique dish. Invented in Halifax in the 1970’s the donair meat is made from beef and various “secret” spices. A quick google search suggests these spices might be pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, paprika, cayenne and oregano.

    The meat is cooked on a rotating spit, then is shaved off, and cooked again on a grill. A pita is dipped in water and heated up on the grill as well, and then the donair meat is placed on the pita and topped with onions, tomatoes and donair sauce.

    The donair sauce is another thing that makes the donair uniquely different from other doners around the world. Made up of evaporated milk, vinegar, garlic and sugar this sweet sauce really brings the whole donair together. The pita is then folded and the donair is eaten like an ice cream cone.

    This isn’t the only way to enjoy the donair meat however it is also popular to eat on pizza, in a panzerotti, in eggrolls, in poutine and even on a sub bun open face grilled with mozzarella cheese. In recent years places around the city have been coming up with even more unique ways to enjoy the donair by making donair cupcakes, donuts, cake, soup and more.”

    Since MLE has been putting on more Canadian contests, they should look into adding donairs to the calendar. Mmm.
