FOOD MEMORIES... A Specialty from Nova Scotia

Tonight the hubby and I took the kids to a Middle Eastern cafe. Once we were home and eveyone else was tucked in bed, I got to thinking about our trip to Nova Scotia in July & August of 2003...

A few days after camping in Debert (Nova Scotia) with friends and enjoying many a "2-4" of Keith's (or Molson or Labatts), our host drove us around Halifax & Dartmouth to show us the sights. Our last stop of the evening was at "King Donair!!" (I can hear Gary saying it now!!!) :)

We ordered our slices and while we waited, a young guy stumbled in (a jammin' music festival was wrapping up down the block)... I remember watching this fella's face as he bit into his donair pizza -- never have I witnessed such an appreciative display of LOVE!!

DONAIR PIZZA??!?!??

Describe it? You won't believe it!! Envision a pizza with gyro-esque meat and then a drizzling of a sweet garlic milk sauce on top... (Thank goodness my sweet-&-salty-loving-self did NOT discover this epicurean curiosity while in college in Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia!)

If you've ever been lucky enough to taste a Donair Pizza -- you may get a CRAZY hankering to make one at home! ;) http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/donair/detail.aspx

On a side note, we have also enjoyed hot pots of TIM's (aka Timmy's or Tim Horton's brand coffee) this week! (I think it beasts *bucks hands down!!)

WOW! Hope you've enjoyed my Random Memories of Food and Adventures....
