HISTORY OF KEBAB
When research on kebab is started, it is necessary to go to the path of kebab first. The roots, meanings and definitions of the kebabs will lead us.
From the definition of "kebab" to the way of defining and historical terms, kebabs can be seen to have had a fire since the fire.
According to the dictionary of Turkish Language Institution, kebab means meat cooked directly in the fire or in a container without water. (In today's definition of kebab, tomatoes and peppers are also included.) During the periods when the fire is used and the meat is being used for cooking, the experts say that it is essential for people to cook the meat at the time of the first kebab being cooked around the fire.
The kebab word comes from the word "kabuba" which means "smell" in the case of Sumerian language. According to some sources, kebab is a general definition given to meat dishes originating from arabic. From these explanations, Anatolia is told that the development of the kebab is by the fellahs who migrate to Adana to team out the Arab countries.
Among them, some of the history books that Darius has made a strong showing of his soldiers by passing a thick bottle of fried pieces of meat before going to war. At that time, kebab means other means of fried meat, force and wealth. And the kebab bottle is used to mean past meat pieces. In the history of humanity, the culture of eating and drinking has developed parallel to this in kebabs formed with multi-stage transitions.
In the first immigrant societies, people seem to be gathering, especially as women have tried to live with the grass they have collected from nature, until they learn to hunt. Men have begun to hunt by increasing their physics powers, eating raw meat first and then eating meat by trial and error with the fire. Accordingly, the use of spices can be said to be started before kebap.
According to beliefs of human communities, when they began to sacrifice their gods, the techniques of eating meat and cooking meat began to increase. The technique of separating meat forgings and small pieces, which we call mince today, also developed during this period. The history of kıyma kebab'ın is also very old ...
It is not wrong to say that the kebab cooking technique started in this period. Today the kebab in the eating and drinking culture has started with the presence of fire in the history of mankind, with the increase of spice use and meat cooking techniques. Minced mushroom kebabs and vegetable kebabs were born during this period and developed and became their present state. The presence of the spices in the kebab is much more ancient as mentioned above.
When analyzed according to historical periods, the kebab was shaped according to the conditions of the time.
