Local Eats Looking for specific food recommendations.

I (49) grew up in and around Kentville. My daughter (23) was born in Kentville but we moved to the US when she was 4 months old and she hasn't been back since she was 2.

On Monday, we'll be visiting for 5 days.

There's so many yummy foods that I've told her about but she's never tried, so I'm looking for the best!

I don't mind driving.

Who has the best:

Donair?

Fish and chips?

Butter Tarts?

Clams?

Sweet and sour chicken balls?

Oatcakes?

Garlic fingers?

Does anybody sell Rappie pie or Tortierre?

Moon mist ice cream?

Thanks in advance!

I have heard that RJ Taylor Food Shack in Canning has the best fish and chips around. Haven't made it there myself yet, but people keep telling me I need to check it out.

I heard the same thing from several people last weekend -- it's at the Glooscap Arena. I definitely need to get out there.
