Donair Becomes Official Food Of Halifax After Close Vote By City Council

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 08 Dec, 2015 02:07 PM
    HALIFAX — The donair is the official food of Halifax, N.S.
     
    The decision was made by regional council in a close 8-7 vote Tuesday, with Mayor Mike Savage casting the deciding vote.
     
    The vote followed a rousing online and public debate prompted by the original motion tabled by councillor Linda Mosher in October.
     
    Savage says although naming the donair the city's official food wasn't a big issue for him, he decided to vote in favour.
     
    He says in the end it was a fun thing and there are many people in the city who do like donairs.
     
    Donairs are wraps that are closely related to the Greek gyro.
     
    They feature finely ground beef, mixed with bread crumbs and spices topped off with a sweet sauce.
