I'm not from Halifax... and even if I was, so what? I've cooked lamb at home, I've eaten it in sit down restaurants, and I've eaten it at fast food places. I've eaten it with friends and coworkers.

You can call me 'chef' if you like (personal dig)... though I'm not claiming to be. You can say that I'm from Halifax... but I have no idea why you'd claim such a thing.(another personal dig)
I'm just saying I've never heard of anyone complaining about the smell of lamb around me. Why is that so hard for you to stomach? And why are you so insistent on making this personal? |
Donairs originated in Halifax. Nothing personal there.
At least you've now offered some actual experience instead of "never heard of." There's a big difference.
I'm still curious what part of what country you;re talking about. My comment and experience pertain to the U.S. |
Well, the US is a big country as well. I'm from Western Canada, and grew up with Donairs. Never had a problem with 'em.
On my last trip to NYC, I had a great gyro - seemed fairly popular there. Again, no one was standing around me complaining about the smell.
Now, that's NOT to say that no one on earth has ever complained... but it is to give another point of view on the subject.
Shall I now make this personal, call you 'chef' or something, and try to dismiss your opinion?
Or is there room for both experiences? |

Dude, the closest body of water to Halifax is not the Mediterranean. Try taking a dip in Halifax harbour in February if you don't believe me. 
Even if Greco Pizza, which is from Halifax if I remember correctly, helped popularize the dish in that part of Canada, I would imagine that donairs were introduced to the Maritimes by the many Lebanese immigrants that went there (that was long before your time and mine, I'm talking in the '30s, '40s, and '50s). |

| Maybe in bumpkin land people do't like lamb, though I can't fathom since lamb chops are always popular, but in trendyville lamb is popular in Middle Eastern and Indian dishes, which in trendyville are consumed at least twice a week. |

Is that Trendyville USA... because apparently, that's important. |

I'd imagine Trendyville USA, and Trendyville Canada are pretty similar. |
