Best Answer

The "shish" part of the phrase means "skewer." The "kebab" (or kebob, kabab, etc.) part of the phrase means "roasted meat." In many places in the world, the "shish" has been dropped entirely and the dish is just known as "kebab" although still cooked on skewers over open heat. A shish-kebab in the United States is usually pieces of meat cut into 2" cubes and pushed onto a skewer with various vegetables (mushrooms, onion, peppers, tomatoes), and grilled. In England, a kabab is ground meat (lamb, beef) formed around a stick or skewer and grilled. Either way, with a dipping sauce and fresh chips, it's a treat.
