I was watching Rachael Ray's '30 Minute Meals' this morning where she was doing Kebabs, and she said that "Shish Kebabs" are specifically lamb kebabs, or "lamb on a stick".
Yet according to Wikipedia, the term "Shish Kebab" is of Turkish origin and refers to ANY meat, fruit or vegetable skewered on a stick.
Seems there's conflicting definitions of it and how it's interpreted in the American language.
I always thought "Shish Kebabs" were ANY type of food skewered on a stick and grilled. I never did just call them "Kebabs". I've always called them "Shish Kebabs", regardless of what's on the stick.
