Originating from the Middle East, the kebab\u2019s history is as long as its list of spices. There are many types of kebabs, and not all of them are made with meat. Most kebabs are made of chicken, beef, lamb, or seafood, but some kebabs can also feature vegetable or falafel-like meat substitutes that are just as flavorful.
