Whats a shish kebab?

I've always understood it to mean 'grilled on a skewer'..

Wouldn't the cheese platter benefit from a (locally sourced?) Shropshire Blue rather than a Stilton?

i dunno.

all the shish kebabs ive ever had have been mince kebabs rather than chunks of meat....although they have all been grilled on a skewer too- which i thought was how all kebabs come.

im sure P&A will be able to put us straight though.

Shish is from the Turkish 'şiş' - a skewer - and, of course, a doner kebab rarely comes on anything sharp unless it's just kicked off outside the Top of the World....

Whats a shish kebab?

On a basic level it means using real meat as opposed to the minced-miscellaneous-animal-arse on a rotating stick we are more used to.

Hmmm. I actually thought it was a phrase gangstas used to intimidate their victims 'you're gonna be shishkebab when i've finished with you...' - This maybe me having a wild imagination.

I had some of this at last year's Staffs County Show and it was cheesetastic.

It would likely be used to intimate that one may find oneself impaled on a sharp object.

Kebab is a general term for grilling and shish is a skewer, so anything on a skewer grilled is a shish kebab. Then it needs to be specified what is being grilled on the skewer. In our case its a spiced, minced lamb kebab. Hope this helps.

Doner, meaning rotating, thus, rotating kebab. Nothing to do with shish kebab. It is a kebab however, as it is grilled.

I rest my case - and notice that we still do not have a :smug: smiley available..
