A Skewered History: The History of Skewers & Kebabs
Description
On this episode of Eat My Globe our host, Simon Majumdar, will be looking at the history of skewers. Now this might sound like a subject that doesn't need much thought. You put stuff on a skewer and then put it on a grill. Skewers, however, have so much interesting history. Simon will talk about the difference between "Kebab" and "Kebob"; the skewer's origins in Central Asia; the skewers' role in Homer's epic poem, "The Odessey"; the ancient Roman and Chinese people's affinity towards skewers; the origin of donner kebabs; how Americans love "anything on a stick"; and so much more.
