What is Kebab Day?
Kebab Day celebrates the delicious variety of kebabs enjoyed across many cultures. A kebab generally consists of seasoned meat, seafood, vegetables, or plant-based ingredients that are grilled, roasted, or cooked over an open flame, often on skewers or a rotating spit.
History of Kebabs
The word "kebab" comes from languages of the Middle East and roughly means "roasted meat." Historians believe kebabs originated in the Middle East, where travelers and soldiers grilled meat over open fires. Over the centuries, the dish spread throughout Asia, Europe, Africa, and eventually the rest of the world, with each region creating its own unique style.

Some of the best-known varieties include:
🍢 Shish Kebab – grilled meat and vegetables on skewers.
