Regular donair is just okay tbh. I much prefer the vegan donair at Wild Leek

Is Boaty's last name "McBoatface"? So that's where he went.

I hadn't heard of donairs—but damn, they sound delicious! Gonna have to find a recipe and try to make some...

I know Marten is leaning over, but last panel looks like some not so subtle sass back to a certain known lap-barfer/crotch destroyer at home...

OK, I had to look up "donair" and now I _really_ have to visit Halifax. Must compare with the gyros around here. (I suspect that this is part of Jeph's subtle plan.)

Just noticed in panel 2, she says "Amaing restaurants" - and this is like the third time I've read the strip. Curious how the brain just tends to glaze over missing letters like that.

I just assumed Amaing was some ethnicity or culinary style I hadn't heard of. Completely missed the missing Z

It makes the warning bell stop, and it's a legal requirement

As a Greek American who has lived in the United States my whole life and who is married to a Canadian, I can say that the Canadian donair is to the Turkish döner as the US gyro is to a Greek gyro. There are similarities, of course, but what Americans expect on a gyro and what Canadians expect on a donair are different from what Greeks and Turks expect on their sandwiches. What I find extremely interesting, is that the donair was invented by a Greek immigrant to Canada, rather than a Turkish one. Apparently he tried selling Greek-style gyros in a pizza shop in Halifax, but it didn't seem to catch on, so he changed the recipe to use spiced ground beef, Lebanese flatbread, and he invented the sweet "donair sauce" made with condensed milk, vinegar, sugar, and garlic. He called these "döners," which came to be spelled (and pronounced) "donair" over the years.

In one of those odd confluences of happenstance, I was shown a YouTube video discussing the difference between the UK donner, Canadian donair and the Turkish döner just a few days ago. I'd never heard of donair before that. And here you are giving more information. Ted talk, and all that.

Halifax sauce FTW

The sauce recipe sounds, well, impossible, so I'm all the more curious.
