Shish kebab is a dish of meat cut into different kinds of varieties, usually pickled and cooked on metal or wooden skewers over the coals.
Ingredients for marinade can be lemon or pomegranate juice, sour-milk products, fruit juices, for example, kiwi, beer and even mineral water to preserve the natural taste of meat.
But a shish kebab with a bite and onions is the most traditional and common recipe for meat. Vinegar gives a piquant sourness and aroma to meat, but not all of its varieties tolerate such a marinade, because of its low hardness. In the case, for example, with pork this will not happen.
