Skewered food is a type of cuisine that involves food being cooked on a skewer, which is a long metal or wooden rod. The most common types of skewered food are kabob (5 letters), KEBAB (5 letters) and shishkebab (10 letters). Kabob and KEBAB are both Middle Eastern dishes that involve marinated meat, vegetables and sometimes fruit being cooked on a skewer over an open flame. Shishkebab is a similar dish, but it usually involves cubes of meat and vegetables being cooked together on a skewer.
