Where do kebabs originate from?

Linus

'Kebab' is a category of food which, like the 'b%F6rek', is typically Turkish dating back to the times when the nomadic Turks learned to grill and roast their meat over their camp fires. Given the numerous types of kebabs, it helps to realize that you categorize them by the way the meat is cooked. The Western World knows the '%BAi%BA kebab' and the 'D%F6ner' introduced to them mostly by Greek entrepreneurs. %BAi%BA kebab is grilled cubes of skewered meat. D%F6ner kebab is made by stacking alternating layers of ground meat and sliced leg of lamb on a large upright skewer, which is slowly rotated in front of a vertical grills. As the outer layer of the meat is roasted, thin slices are shaved to be served. The words 'shish kebab' are Turkish in origin: {siskebabi;} sis meaning spit and kebap meaning roast meat. http://www.cankan.com/gturkishcuisine/43tc-grilled.htm Jan 21 03, 7:40 PM
