I prefer the “Halifax [Nova Scotia]-style” donair, which uses a sweet sauce - grew up on those, and they’re still really tasty.

Oh, man, I’d kill for some KOD (or Roberts, or any other number of places) donair some times. I eat a bunch every time I’m down there. Around here we get gyros, which are pretty similar, although the seasoning is different, and the sauce definitely not the same (although still good). Some places around here purport to sell something they call a donair, but it just isn’t the same. Still, there are compensations - we’ve got a great selection of authentic Chinese, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, Indian, Carribean (roti are great!) and other restaraunts around here. I don’t think I could get a roti or find a decent dim sum place in Halifax, although if you don’t mind going out of your way a little, there is a surprising variety of food available down there now.
