i know there are people out there who can just not substitute and just go without.. but i feel like the amount who can compared to the amount of keto enthusiasts claiming as such just don't add up..
you know eventually i am going to look like one of those crazy conspiracy theorists who instead of ranting about a flat earth or the moon landing not happening, I will be jibber jabbering about keto and cravings lol
That's a Dürüm though!
Probably in its original country of origin. However when it came to Halifax the recipe was changed and it became a donair. It's officially our official food of halifax.
We call 'em donner kebabs here in the UK. Drunk food. If you're really all about the dirty drunk food you get just the donner meat on chips (fries).stevencloser wrote: »HellYeahItsKriss wrote: »stevencloser wrote: »HellYeahItsKriss wrote: »I dunno... maybe i am just a weirdo.. but.. i can make my own donairs..

Okay, it's got less vegetables and some sort of sweet cocktail sauce in a pita.
@VintageFeline -- Do they use the same kind of sauce tho? Its a thick creamy white sauce made with sweetened condensed milk, vinegar and garlic?
@stevencloser -- Yeah the Donairs here are made with ground beef and a variety of spices, its spliced and then added on top of pita bread, onions and tomatoes (optional) and then the donair sauce which is what i mentioned above with the sweetened condensed milk, Etc0 -

Döner in Turkey
There are many variations of döner in Turkey:
Porsiyon ("portion", döner on a slightly heated plate, sometimes with a few grilled peppers or broiled tomatoes on the side)[19][20]
Pilavüstü ("over rice", döner served on a base of pilaf rice)[21][22]
İskender (specialty of Bursa, served in an oblong plate, atop a base of thin pita, with a dash of pepper or tomato sauce and boiling fresh butter)[23][24] "Kebapçı İskender" is trademarked by Yavuz İskenderoğlu, whose family still runs the restaurant in Bursa.[25][26][27]
Dürüm, wrapped in a thin lavaş that is sometimes also grilled after being rolled, to make it crispier. It has two main variants in mainland Turkey:[28]
Soslu dürüm or SSK (sos, soğan, kaşar; in English: sauce, onion, cheese) (specialty of Ankara, contains İskender kebap sauce, making it juicier)
Kaşarlı dürüm döner (speciality of Istanbul, grated kaşar cheese is put in the wrap which is then toasted to melt the cheese and crisp up the lavaş)[29]
Tombik or gobit (literally "the chubby", döner in a bun-shaped pita, with crispy crust and soft inside, and generally less meat than a dürüm)[30]
Ekmekarası ("between bread", generally the most filling version, consisting of a whole (or a half) regular Turkish bread filled with döner)[31]1 -
@mph323 -- Clicked that link, I wonder which K.O.D that is, I live across the street from one.0

Beef? Your big meat on a stick turning in front of a grill is beef? Here it's lamb. And yep, you can have garlic sauce though there's no condensed milk involved as far as I'm aware.0 -

None of those really sound like a donair though.. the recipe was changed quite a bit i guess.0 -

Hahaha omg. I'm gonna click this when I get home
It's good for meditation. You get to watch the meat go round and round on the skewer while cooking, then presumably a pair of hands comes out of nowhere, removes the finished meat and puts a new roll on the skewer. It's kind of hypnotic.0 -
This is what ours look like. I have it with garlic sauce, well I say I have it, I don't remember when I last ate one. You can get other sauces though.

Pretty much like the German one.

Hmmmm now I want a kebab...0

I don't think we have those here in the States. If we do, we never had them anywhere near where I grew up.
Gyros? We have those.0 -
And we got beef (calf to be precise) and chicken most commonly.0

I'm in the US and there is a Turkish-style doner place by my house. But it's relatively new and hipsterish, I have no idea how authentic it is (my husband really likes them though).0 -

I love the donairs from Mezza. I also love their chicken shawarmas even better.
I havent had one from Mezza, but when i worked at scotia square the mezza there always gave me tons of pizza to take home when they closed.0 -

There could be some in the Philly area now for all I know. I don't exactly stay on top of what's new and exciting in the dining out world given all my food issues.
I just never came across one when I still ate meat.0 -
Donairs are typically sold at pretty much every pizza place here standard.. Since they typically aren't really a specialty food since the current form of them originated here.0
-
Similar here, most kebab shops will do pizza too and there's at least 5 every mile. We love a kebab. Quality obviously varies.1
