The donair is a variation of the doner kebab which originated in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada in the early 1970s. Donair meat is made from spiced ground beef sliced off a rotating cone. The toppings typically include chopped onions and tomatoes, while the distinctive sweet sauce is made from condensed milk, sugar, vinegar, and garlic powder. All of these ingredients are wrapped together in a soft white pita.
