Kebab means grilled meat in Turkish. Kebab is made of lamb and beef. In the United States, this is usually called gyros meat, while a kebab is a stick with small cubes of any kind of meat or fowl and vegetables that is roasted on a grill.
There are different variants of kebab:
European:
- Döner Kebab - roasted sliced lamb or chicken loaf
- Samak Kebab - grilled fish shish kebab
- Shish Kebab - grilled cubes of meat on a stick
- Kofte Kebab - roasted and then grilled cubed beef-lamb loaf on a stick
Kebabs are normally served in pita bread with salad. Doner can be either lamb or chicken.
Enterprising take-away operators (catering generally to drunken post-pub revellers) sometimes put kebab meat on a pizza, producing a culturally-dubious "kebabpizza".
American (where it is sometimes called shish kebab or kebob):
- Beef kebab
- Chicken kebab
- Tofu kebab
- Vegetable kebab
- Turkey kebab
American kebabs consist of meat and vegetables held together with a wooden skewer and then grilled. Vegetables typically used include eggplant, tomato, bell pepper, onion and mushrooms. Americans would call lamb Döner Kebab either gyros or shwarma. European schwarma is a slightly different product, however.
Take-out kebab restaurants are common in some parts of Europe with Döner Kebab said to be the best-selling fast food in Germany. Take-out shish kebab is almost unknown in the US but take-out gyros is quite popular.
