Booche Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Alrighty. We went to the Friendly Corner (gotta love Josie) and I requested the donair with the sweet sauce. You are bang-on Mikey. That thing is the best I have had in Ottawa.I am so glad my dad knocked up my mom, which produced you. The things I have learned in this world from you............awesome.

bouche Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 you know, they said someone else had commented on the east coast version similarity.

AdamH Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 I will have to try this as generally Donairs don't do it for me. on Wednesday's I can be found eating pizza in 1 plus 1 across the street from the Friendly Corner. Best cheap-ass pizza in Ottawa that I've found so far in 3 years of investigation.I know, it's not fancy and the guys there are rude but the pie is good.

bouche Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Friendly Corner— sauce- good, meat- not so muchi still prefer hooley's although they're skimpy on the meatTry it. Ask for the sweet sauce with onion, tomato and lettuce and tell them Mike sent you.Then, next time I'm in, I'll go "hey, did a guy come in here and ask for the sweet sauce with onion, tomato and lettuce ? Did he say 'Mike sent me'?"I had ONE donair where the meat was a little dry, but since I've been going quite regularly, interact all friendly-like, they seem to get better and better.

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 i did try it the other day and the spices in the meat aren't even close, but anyway I'm glad you enjoy itAl Czervik: Oh, this is the worst-looking hat I ever saw. What, when you buy a hat like this I bet you get a free bowl of soup, huh? [looks at Judge Smails, who's wearing the same hat] Al Czervik: Oh, it looks good on you though.

bouche Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 aren't even close to what? I'm just preaching that it is one of the better donairs in town.btw, I didn't get to have one yesterday, and all this donair talk is making me hungry for one. maybe TOMORROW!

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 aren't close to being the best, although at the time i was thinking ".. to tasting like a real east coast donair"anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 what's the best here though? Hooley's disappointed me with their frozen version of the Donair when we had them 2 weeks ago. Consistency points were lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) I still must try this friendly corner place...Where is it?I always guage my donairs to the Wheel in Antigonish. Probably the best donair on the face of the planet. Edited November 10, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I agree with del...something about thier sauce.what...like too much?I thought that Donair sauce is basically vinegar, sugar, onion, salt and oil...the basic ingredients to poppy seed dressing, but I just found this.Donair Sauce(adapted from King of Donair, on `Pizza Corner', Halifax) * 2/3 cup canned evaporated milk * 2/3 cup sugar * 1/4 cup white vinegar * 1/2 tsp garlic powder Stir canned milk, sugar and garlic powder until sugar is dissolved. Add vinegar and continue mixing. The quicker you add the vinegar and the less you mix (I usually give the spoon 3 or 4 turns around the bowl), the thicker the sauce will be. Let sauce sit for at least one hour in refrigerator before using. Eventually (hours to days later), the sauce may start to separate. DO NOT STIR IT. Simply skim the thick sauce off the top. It tastes fine, despite the appearance that all the vinigar has seeped out of it.You should be able to get thick sauce simply by following the instructions in the top recipe. I can get mine a bit thicker than yogurt. Occasionally, I blow it and stir too much and the sauce gets thin again. If your sauce is not thick enough (I like spoons to stand up in it) follow the recipe below. It is my new favorite. Follow the link and it looks like you can just use sweetened condensed milk (like in vietnamese shakes and teas) as it's loaded with sugar.http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/~gpetitpas/Links/Donair.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 i still prefer hooley's although they're skimpy on the meatHooley's is reviewed in this week's Ottawa XPress, and they did not like the food (except the tartar sauce).Truthfully, I was only there for one thing: the Hally donair. I admit that it's been a long cold day since I've eaten a donair, but I don't remember it being like this one: a half pound of dry meat, some cursory chopped tomatoes and a stingy amount of garlic sauce (which actually tasted quite good, so more of this would have gone a long way).Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Yup. That meat is more dry than a nun on Good Friday. I am with Mike. The last one he got was a regurgitated / refridgerated schlog. The Friendly Corner makes a far better one. I have to try that one from Grecos.
