“People in Halifax are purists about the donair,” Ms Wickstrom said. “You will be publicly shamed, even driven out of the city for even putting lettuce on it.”

    I had a craving for a donair pizza the other day but couldn’t find any place that would deliver one in Toronto. Maybe that is a Calgary specific thing.

    It’s not Canadian, it’s Newfie.

    Edit: It’s actually from New Brunswick Nova Scotia. Learn your geography, kids.

    Thanks for pointing it out /u/cryptowillem

    Edit 2: I need sleep. Holy…

      I can’t agree with you there. The Donair was introduced in the 70s in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Not Newfoundland. It even says that in the article.

      Kinda splitting hairs, especially in an article from an international news company. Like if this had happened in Australia, you couldn’t say “it’s not Australian, it’s from Queensland!”

        LoL I know I know.

        But it’s just that it’s not really a Canada wide thing. It’s really specific to Newfoundland New Brunswick Nova Scotia, and they’re really proud of it. So I thought I’d highlight it.

        Edit: Holy shit I’m so sorry.
