Love that the discussion is on a hockey forum....
Must be Canadian!
Tsatziki sauce is made with yogurt and cucumber, donair sauce is much sweeter and is made sans cucumber.... Also, it's all ground beef, not lamb. No pickled cabbage, or other stuff either.....
Donair pizza is a very real and amazing thing here too.... also comes with sweet sauce! We also have 'garlic fingers' (often served with donair meat), which is basically a pizza with garlic butter instead of sauce, that has a shit load of cheese melted on top. Served with donair sauce!

ERM, a donair as you call it, is a doner, is a gyro. They're the same thing. Like crisps and chips from UK to USA.
You say its all beef, now I'm the one wondering what it is you are eating.
And while ours is typically shit, in that its sold predominantly as drunk food so they don't Care what they make it out of as noons would know otherwise, being that they're just out of a club and drunk, but well, I'd tend to believe that Europe has a more authentic kebab than over your way

The UK one is more closely related to the Turkish one I would imagine.ERM, a donair as you call it, is a doner, is a gyro. They're the same thing. Like crisps and chips from UK to USA.

If you asked for a doner kebab here, people would say "what the shit are you talking about?" lol
They all seem to be made of different things, and a halifax style donair is very specific. It has a sweet sauce, not tzatiki sauce, it's ground chuck not lamb, spiced, and always with onions, tomato, and lettuce on a pita!
In this case, fuck authenticity! lol It's something you have to try to appreciate.

Directions
Ingredients
Original recipe makes 4 servings Change Servings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground oregano
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 4 teaspoons white vinegar, or as needed
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a cup or small bowl, mix together the salt, oregano, flour, black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Place the ground beef in a large bowl, and use your hands to blend in the spice mixture. If you want the smooth texture of meat that you see in a real donair shop, you must do this in a steel mixing bowl and on a sturdy surface. Pick up the meat, and throw it down with force about 20 times, kneading it after each throw. This also helps the meat hold together better when you slice it.
- Form the meat into a loaf, and place it on a broiler pan. If you do not have one, a baking sheet will do.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, turning the loaf over about half way through. This will ensure even cooking. Serve, or allow the meat to chill before slicing and reheating.
- To make the donair sauce, mix together the evaporated milk, sugar and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the white vinegar, adding 1 teaspoon at a time, until thickened to your desired consistency.

Lol. Gotta love a recipe that directly contradicts the very name of the dish
With regard to the English version. I don't think there is a version. Every shops meat will be slightly different, some being suspect with regard to the origin of its meat, be it rat or horse etc, but there is no "way", you order it, which basically means you order the meat. You then chose to have it filled with whatever condiments and salads you like. Its not "a doner is lettuce and tomatoes" its more here is your bread and meat, would you like any salad or sauces, and you then have 20 odd different options to put in it.

Eh? You mean, 'Dash'?Lol. Gotta love a recipe that directly contradicts the very name of the dish
Ahh ok. Here, when you order a donair there's it comes with tomato, lettuce, yellow onion, and sweet sauce. Cheese is optional! I mena, of course you can get it with the fewer toppings, but that's pretty much it as far as toppings are concerned. lol

No, as in it contradicts the very definition of the word doner, or donair as you call it. Think of it like cooking ribs in an oven and calling it BBQ ribs.

Ahhh yes, the oven instead of the spit.
Most people don't have a spit at home, although I wish I did! A rotisserie BBQ would work awesome for donair meat!
The oven method is still pretty damn tasty, but it's not IR rotating spit, as they all use here in the shops!

That and reading the recipe, well, it seems apparent that it is nothing more than a meatloaf

Not at all. It is what it is. I resigned as sous chef because the manager refused to be honest about the food on the menu. A sirloin cooked in a water bath and then seared was not roast beef, I said sorry, I'm an honest chef, If you have to lie about the food you're selling then you shouldn't be in bsiness.
Just seen your SIG BTW. Love it! Fucking pathetic yanks, bunch of fucking pussies.

Hahaha, yeah Doer is a piece of work man....
It tastes the same as the best donair meat in Nova Scotia, and unless you have a rotissery spit it'll have to do. It's definitely not a meat loaf though.
No eggs, or bread crumbs, and it really turns into a solid meat mass, no real fibers left to it, and a different taste.
