The Origins of Kebab: A Journey Across Cultures
The history of kebabs can be traced back centuries to the Middle East, where it is believed the dish originated. The word “kebab” comes from the Persian language and refers to various types of skewered, grilled meats. Over time, kebabs spread across the world, particularly to areas in South Asia, the Mediterranean, and Europe.
Kebabs traditionally consist of chunks of marinated meat, usually lamb, chicken, or beef, which are skewered and grilled over open flames. The dish is popular in countries such as Turkey, Iran, and India, and it has evolved into various forms in each region. In Italy, however, kebabs are a relatively modern addition to the culinary landscape, influenced by the country’s long history of trade and cultural exchange with the Mediterranean and beyond.
