A plate of kebab eaten in Barcelona.
Often, when I stop in Barcelona on the ship, instead of going out to enjoy some typical Spanish dish (and there would be only the embarrassment of choice) I head to a small Turkish restaurant to eat a plate of kebab.
Some people will be horrified but what can I do if I like it?

An older variant of kebab (in Greek: obeliskos) is attested in Greece from the 8th century BC in the writings of Homer and in the classical works of Aristophanes, Xenophon and Aristotle.
