Shawarma
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shawarma (in Arabic: شاورما; in Hebrew: שווארמה) is a meat sandwich eaten by people in the Middle East. It is served in round Arabic bread with meat and vegetables, with some spice or sauce of choice, in it. Normally, the meat can either be lamb, beef, turkey, or chicken. Shawarma can also be spelled chawarma, shwarma, shawerma, or shoarmais.
It was first introduced by people from Turkey. They call it çevirme, which means "turning", because the meat can be turned around in the oven.
