Do you long for the sweet sauce known as Donair Sauce? Do you lapsed into a late night craving for garlic fingers and donair sauce? Do you feel mildly cheated when you eat a so called "Nova Scotian Donair" and it's served on a Greek Pita with lettuce?
Well you are not alone.
As a Prince Edward Island expat, I think of donairs daily. Perhaps it's the absence of this delicious home town treat that makes me long for it even more! And, when local Upper Canadian businesses try their hand at recreating the delectable snack, it all goes to heck.
So for all of you out there, here's my own donair sauce recipe my donair meat recipe is a bit of a secret. After taking an existing recipe I tweaked it until it was just right! Use it in conjunction with the pizza dough recipe for your own Garlic Fingers.
NOTE: Mega bricks of cheese are on sale at Value Mart, No Frills and Loblaws this week for $3.99 that's enough mozzerella for lots and lots of garlic fingers!
Donair Sauce
2/3 cup Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Mix all together. You can't over mix this donair sauce... But it's going to get really thick.
Garlic Fingers
garlic butter (made to taste, garlic mashed & mixed into salted butter with a sprinkle of parsley)
Spread onto half a recipe of my pizza dough (see below) and topped with mozzerella cheese.
Cook. Cut into fingers (or soldiers for all my British readers), dip into donair sauce.
Eat late night, with a friend, drinking beer and watching silly tv shows.
mmmmmm.... sooooooooo tasty!

As an expat Scotian I am willing to try and compare this sauce with my own family recipe. I will post my verdict at a later date when my teeth are in better working order ;-)
It's weird though cuz I have been thinking a lot about donairs lately...are you reading my mind??!!
p.s.
I don't feel mildly cheated when I get a Greek pita instead of a donair. I get filled with an insatiable bloodthirsty rage...and then I go down to the little donair shop @ the corner of elm St. and Yonge St right beside Pizza Pizza on the Elm St. side) and get the best version I've found in the city of my beloved sweeeeet sauce! - KarmaCake 9:49 PM

GYROS! I've ranked them as the nasty donairs. Best donair I've eaten, Freddie's in Sackville, New Brunswick.
Best Donair Sauce goes to Joey's Pizza in Sackville, NB as well. It's frothy but oh so effing good! - Anonymous 3:07 PM

Sorry--must clarify: Elm & Yonge St. is the site of the best donair sauce in the T-dot. NOT Scotia...which would be Tony's on North St. and the other location on Quinpool Rd.
But I am happy to say that Karmacake is victorious in her donair sauce recipe and I bow down to her. Now if she'll kindly give me the secret recipe to her donair meat...I might be inclined to give her back her shoes! LOL - KarmaCake 6:27 PM

I can be inclined to give up the meat recipe, once I get my shoes. An, even trade!

Howdy,
You know you'd make the world a better place if you simply shared your donair meat recipe.
Think of the joy you could bring to untold millions if you simply posted a complete ingredient list, mixing and cooking instructions! You'd feel great - really you would. And aren't you entitled to feeling good? Sure you are...
