Despite the fact that barbecue is historically a traditional dish of the nomads of Eurasia, in Russia they are not indifferent to it.
A little about barbecue
Literally "shish kebab" means "meat put on a bayonet." Each country has its own name. In Turkey and Bulgaria it is called "shish - kebab", in Iran the inhabitants call it "shishlik", and in Transcaucasia there is a special attitude to this delicious dish, it is a national food and has its own name and method of preparation in each country.
Choosing meat for a kebab is not an easy task. Shish kebab is traditionally made from lamb, but you can take the one you like best, the main thing is that it is fresh, not frozen and not paired. Lamb or pork neck is best.
