Hey Phil! How ’bout coming back to the SDMB or the UnaBoard occasionally? I know this isn’t an astronomy question, but we MISS you! Astronomy ignorance can be fought everywhere!

I think I’ve been there, but then again those takeaway shops all look the same. For any prospective tourists: don’t worry we’d never eat delicious human flesh!

CERDIP, actually “donair” is exactly how the rest of Canada sees it too.. That’s probably why I was initially confused at why there was such a thing for sale in the first place in Australia, called a Donner kebab.. A DONAIR.. ohhhhhh.. hehe. Strange planet. We can never agree on spelling anything one particular way now can we?

It is supposed to be Donner the reindeer aka karabu, I think. Not the donner party. It is funny, tho’.

DÃ¶ner Kebap is another type of kebap (other examples include shish and Iskender kebap), for which the world has to thank Turks. Kebap means “roasted” and DÃ¶ner means “to turn” or “spin”. DÃ¶ner kebap is filets of meat (usually lamb) roasted on a vertical spinning spit, served with vegetables in flat bread. You can find dÃ¶ner kebap all over the world with similar names. The completely different word “gyro” is used by Greeks beacuse, well, they once used to hate everything that had something to do with Turks (see greek history).

DÃ¶ner kebap, as a type of fast food, is the major unorganized competitor of McDonald’s in some european countries, especially in Germany where there is a large turkish minority.
