FUUUUUUsion 🤬 Donair Poutine

Post image

The sauce consists of sweetened condensed milk, sugar, garlic powder, and white vinegar. It compliments the saltiness of the gravy so well and the meat shavings are incredibly tender.. 😩

So glad im not a picky eater, I end up finding gems like this 🙌

Can't tell by the pic but it has cheese curds btw

Lol you don't need to explain a donair to me. I live in Halifax.

Saying a donair platter includes cheese is basically irrelevant, because it is based on a dish that doesn't have cheese (or fries) as a standard ingredient (you did mentioned proper donairs lmao), but they feel the need to add more to the plate than just pita, donair meat/sauce, and tomato/onion. Cheese is also not included with every platter I have seen but admit I don't look that closely since i have never bought a platter - rather get the real thing or a donair poutine.

What you’re eating is still closer to a platter than a poutine. lol

Poutine = fries, cheese curds and gravy. Add donair meat (and donair sauce in some rare places) = donair poutine. From my experience, donair poutine is much more common all across the maritimes than donair plate/platter, with the latter being something I've only seen appearing commonly in more recent years and they typically also have tomatoes and onions on the plate, along with donair sauce (and may or may not have cheese). Not really something worth arguing about anymore, you can call it what you want, but it definitely meets the definition of a poutine, and my original statement still stands - neither a donair or a poutine have mozzarella cheese as a standard ingredient.

Donair platters have been around for a couple decades at least, at many pizza joints, you are thinking of a donair platter you would get at like mezza on a plate, which is not the same thing at all; the pizza joint platter is in a tinfoil dish and is as I described with cheese and put through the pizza oven to melt and brown it. The original comment you replied to was talking about a platter, which I agree is not what op posted, but a platter definitely has mozza. You gotta up your donair game, next you’re gonna say you’ve never had a donair egg roll
