Lockdown-friendly Halifax-style Donairs (Travel to Nova Scotia Not Required)

Posted on by Chris Pollard

Sadly, I have never been to Nova Scotia.

I have never had the chance to have an authentic Halifax donair.

But I’ve made it to New Brunswick and had donairs there a few times. Greco’s does a good job, to my tastebuds at least. Nova Scotians would probably scream blasphemy at that.

Anyway, that will have to be my frame of reference until I can get a Blue Noser over to taste these. (Luckily, I have family who qualify!)

I’ve always been a fan of beef stroganoff, but never a huge fan of making it. We used to do the whole thing where you cut up your beef, dredge it all in flour, sear it, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah. It was good, but a bit of a time consuming pain in the butt to put together.
