   And the topic was "Canadian Foods, Drinks, and Snacks". I've never   
   heard of a donair kebab, but that makes perfect sense. I don't think   
   I've ever had a kebab of any sort of kebab in Canada. So I would   
   not know of local specialities.   
      
   I am certainly familiar with döner kebab, but that is absolutely not a   
   Canadian thing, but a Turkish dish. So I can't see how that could be a   
   correct answer in Canadiana round. It might have been a different matter   
   if it had been a round on food in general.
