I sincerely doubt that it was a calzone. I've eaten many of these as
well, but I'd never consider them a local favourite anywhere in Nova
Scotia. They are definietly Donairs (pronounced like they're spelled).
I've also seen them under the name Gyros. I can see the similarities
in a written descripition, but see one or eat one and you'll know that
they aren't the same. A calzone is sealed. A donair isn't. Also, there
usually isn't any cheese in a donair, although I have seen them with
cheese and pepperoni (yuk).
