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
- Samak Kebab
- Shish Kebab
And also if kebab is put to pizza, it's called a 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. Vegetables typically used include eggplant, tomato, bell pepper, onion and mushrooms. Americans would call Döner Kebab either gyros or shwarma, although these are usually served on a pita.
