Cultured Palate: Best Dishes from Canada

5. Donair from Nova Scotia
Another Canadian dish favored by those who have already had a few beers is the donair. Although donair isn’t native to Canada – it actually originates in Turkey, where the proper name for it is doner kebab – it has become a quintessential part of East Coast Canadian cuisine.
If you’re in Halifax, Nova Scotia, donair is the only sane choice for your 2 a.m. pick-me-up. It contains the traditional doner kebab meat – spiced ground beef which is roasted on a spit, then sliced off and griddled on a flat top range. The meat is wrapped in a thin pita, and doused in a distinctive sweet and garlicky sauce.
