We cook meat on the fire Since the man learned to tame the fire, the meat roasted on the coals became his favorite food. And this dish at all times did not have a certain status: it was eaten by everything, from shepherds and ending with wealthy nobles. True, before people did not bother pickling meat, because they cooked shish kebabs and similar delicacies from fresh, which does not require any additional manipulation to soften and remove the stale smell. In Russia this dish was considered festive and was called "roasted meat", and the word "shish kebab" comes from the Turkic "shishas" - spit, and "face" - actually what is put on this spit. But if the shish kebab is a dish with Turkic roots, then it should be prepared from mutton, in the extreme case - beef. We are more accustomed to pork shish kebabs, because they are softer and tender and are quickly fried. And this shish kebab, of course, has the right to exist, as well as thousands of other similar recipes from all over the world. But just do not spoil the meat with the vinegar marinade.
