Hvala svima.
Kemal Mustajbegovic Feb 13, 2007:
This is not an answer to Zdenka's question but the comment to Nick - the real kebab is NEVER made from pork.

shish-kebab

Yes, I would translate it like that - at least an English person would know you were talking about the meat and stuff spiked onto a skewer, even if they would rarely eat it (it's foreign food :)

I have also heard this called šašlik in the southern Balkans.

Mmmmm... ražnjići...

neutral Kemal Mustajbegovic : It's kebab. BTW Mark, saying "English person" R U talking about Poms? Down Under everyone likes kebab. Poms alike.

Well, I can only speak AS a Pom, but then again I'll eat anything! BTW A kebab in the UK is not served on a skewer, but in pita bread, so it wouldn't be so recognisable.

agree Nick Saywell : Agree with shish kebab (but without the hyphen). As ražnjići are almost always made from pork, you might say "pork kebabs".

kebab

For kebabs without meat I would just use "Vegetarian Kebab".
