Who makes the best shish-kebabs? Persian, Turkish, Arab, Israeli or Armenian?
Or anyone I forgot.
Answers: Good questions. Shish-Kebabs are a Middleastern delicacy, specifically Arabic. Although Armenians also make them, I don't believe they are as good as the Arab made ones. I have been to numerous restuarants and I have to say Arabs make the best kebabs hands down. How did israel work its way into the question? They don't make kebabs. Armenian in the uk its the greeks and turks yummy chip shops they have over here - the rest are dodgy food n stay away lol i do..everyone loves them where i live-germany:turkish are the best!!!! just had one last night arab, by a longshot I'm partial to Persian, myself, but havent tried Armenian, yet. Just moved to a neighborhood where I can! That would be me and I'm an AMERICAN. I like to use ham on some of mine and it wonderful. I have a very nice friend and he makes awesome kabobs he's Armenian and lived many years in Turkey and Bulgaria.
So maybe he gets the best of both. He makes this skinless sausage and then sticks is to a wood skewer and grills them in low heat, its so good I think they're all good. DEFINITELY ARABS
Shish Kebab is a middle eastern recipe so they r the best in making them, Turks learned form the Arabs, and so did the rest of the people. They can all be very very good. If you are looking for good resturants, try the following:
Chicago: Reza's (Persian)
Houston: Garson's (Persian)
Detroit: Cedarland or LaShish (both Arab)
If you want a good cookbook on how to make them try getting "A Taste of Persia" by Najmieh Batmanglij. It is about $14 on Amazon.com I love the Lebanese verson of kofte kabobs.
But for the shish the Persians because they use herbs to season their meat.
I love the Egyptian Arab kofte kabobs and shish kabobs they are lightly seasoned with spices. My vote goes to the Armenians i'm fond of persian kabobs.
more specifically - kabob koubideh For me, turkish shis kebab is the best.... Persian for me. Actually, we made kabob kubideh for the 4th of July yesterday. Serve it with some fresh basil and sumac.....yummy Turkish! Persians do the best kebabs.
