Hahah, yeah, it does sound like an airline.
And yes, it's an anglicization of 'Döner'.
Also, here's the Wikipedia stub for the aforementioned Garlic Fingers.
Btw, chris, what comic is your signature image from?
The priest on the right side... He seems quite familiar, but I don't remember the name of the comic.
Döners are turkish, btw., but the greek also have almost the same food, but it's called "pita", iIrc.
Saturday night is usually our go-out-and-have-a-few-beers date night, but money was tight this past weekend.
I cut up some chicken breast into bitesize pieces, egg & breadcrumbed it, and pan seared until done. Chicken parm calzone, baby! It was ginormous, and we were both very full afterwards :nod:

I love homemade pizza, especially on a whole wheat crust. I've gotten creative lately. I've made a breakfast pizza (cream gravy for sauce, topped with eggs, bacon, onions, green peppers, sausage nad colby/jack cheese), chicken potato (with chicken, parmesean potoatoes, green onions, bacon, mozzarella and a basil butter sauce) and barbecue chicken (BBQ sauce, red onions, grilled chicken, bacon and a blend of cheeses).
I've had something very similar to it when I went into a ... what's that southern pizza chain? It's set up buffet style, and someone told me that people in uniform (like police, or firefighters, or soldiers) eat for free. But as a rule, they're not nearly as popular as they are here.
Here, you order Pizza and Garlic Fingers. You eat Garlic Fingers first, and then move on to pizza.
Donairs are ... Greek or something. I have no idea why they're so popular in Atlantic Canada, but they are.
You can't go 2 blocks in Edmonton without a donair shop too.

Looks like a gyro or kebab to me.Donairs are ... Greek or something. I have no idea why they're so popular in Atlantic Canada, but they are.
(and had I looked at your link I would have seen that is exactly what it is)
Even the distribution doesn't make sense, though. I mean, Alberta and Atlantic Canada? Nothing in between?
And I don't think we have a lot of greek (or Turkish as someone has corrected) immigrants in this part of the country. I know in Newfoundland we're all pretty much from the British isles.

I do make my own pizza, but it takes up so much time 
I usually order Papa John's (mmmm good stuff)

I'm sure they exist in Toronto. I probably just never took notice of them. I am aware of the existence of gyros around here.
Papa John's is some bland, bland pizza. Dominoes at least has some flavor to the sauce and crust.
Frozen, Tony's or Red Baron, an occasional Tombstone thrown in.
Local is UFO Pizza, brick-oven cooked thin-crust pizza.

I can't comment on your local, but everything else you listed is unequivocal ass.

Actually, the best pizza I've had in a long while was last year in Rockville Centre, New York (near Queens). I think the place was called Blue Moon. Only time I've had coal-oven pizza, I think.

mmmmmm, Mellow Mushroom... Que Deliciosa.
Got a call from the fella; he wants us to make pizza this weekend. Won't be able to make my own crust with this bum thumb, but it'll still be good.
Döners (Donairs) are awsome after a hard night of Alcohol and Rock Musik.
Pizza is a rather sore point with me at the moment because we only have a finite number of the major franchises and essentially no independent ones.
Essentially all we have is dominos and pizza hut, and they have both reduced the size of their large pizza to the point where a single slice is tiny to the point of being silly.
And what else are you supposed to eat on DnD night?

I've been wanting a donair for some time now. There's a shop just down the road ...
Could it be that you reside in a more or less german speaking area?

Yes it is.
Yes, they are aproximately the same. afaik döner is the turkish name for this food, gyros is greek...

I live in Germany. So yeah.
@Jake
Yes,a Donair is actually Gyros stuck into a bread. the Pic posted previously is actually a Dürüm Döner (Donair). So the Donair actually has Greek roots.

Almost thought so. There are not many (if any) non-german speakers/writers out there who use the ¨ . Well, maybe hungarians. Or swedes... Or french... Or some other weird european folks...
Yeah,thats how we Europeans like to roll.We use umlauts.

[/QUOTE]There isn't even an english word for ¨ than the word "umlaut", taken from german, isn't it? At least, there is none that we are aware of.

So it's actually called a diacritic mark. Who knew.Always thought umlaut was correct.
