The Shish Kebab is originally an Iranian fast food delicacy and is now a popular takeaway dish. The term Shish Kebab comes from the Turkish for ‘Skewered Grilled Meat’. In Greece and Turkey a Shish Kebab is called a Souvlaki.

The dish is thought to have originated when the Medieval Turkish soldiers used their swords as a skewer to cook the meat over an open fire.

The typical Shish Kebab will be made from of cubes of chicken, lamb or other meat which are placed onto a skewer and then either grilled or roasted. It’s common to add a selection of vegetables, and the Shish kebab is one that can be easily customised to produce a healthier version of the meal.


Indian is one of our favourite fast foods from takeaways, and in the UK we each eat (on average) around 2.2 curries per week – costing us a total of £2.8 billion per year.

Indian and chinese takeaways are good employers too. In the UK they employ more people than steel, mining and shipbuilding industries put together. You might wonder why if you eat at an Indian restaurant abroad, they don’t know what your favourite curry is. That’s because most of the dishes on UK Indian menus are specific just to the UK. Many of the names for popular UK dishes were created by the people who introduced Indian take aways to Britain.

It might also surprise you to learn that the recipe for a Chicken Tikka Masala is different in nearly every Indian takeaway!
