Donair.... How bad??

[slugtastic]

It's weird that there is so many names for the same food. But where I come from we call them Yiros's because we have a high Greek population and they are healthy as. U can choose whole meal bread, with chicken only about 200grms, and there full of salad ( tomato lettuce onion tabuli) and the garlic sauce has natural yogurt with garlic in it, I have them some times for lunch on days I no I'm going to do boxing, gives me heaps of energy... And cheese they don't put that in there that must be an American thing?????

A Gyro and a donair are similar but not the same. I have been to Greece and eaten them and the chicken ones are not that bad health wise for you, I agree. A donair on the other hand is a "westernized" form of a gyro made with beef, cheese, sweet sauce which is canned milk and sugar all wrapped in a white pita bread.... not quite as healthy as an original Gyro.

Still looking for any other opinions on this matter.

Thanks

In motreal theyre called Gyros aswell.. they put like 2-3 slices of meat, with Tabouleh or other vinegar based veggies, yogurt with garlic and parsley (Tzatziki Sauce) and this is so much better than donairs... Here, they put like 10-15 slices of "shittier" meat put cheese and very sweet sauce on top.. only select places have garlic sauce, and they are usually greek or lebanese...

Actually to the OP : go to a lebanese place and get a pita there instead of a donair .. ull get chicken breast inside and much better ingredients.. and the portion is going to be smaller, you can tweak it aswell as lebanese people are very friendly in their restaurants.. I can PM you with my favorite places if u want...
