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). Trevor J.
