Everything about Shashlik totally explained

Shashlik or shashlyk (Russian: Шашлык, from Crimean Tatar Şışlıq) is a form of skewered dish popular throughout the former Soviet Union and Mongolia.
   Shashlik is generally either beef, pork, or lamb, depending on local preferences or religious observances. These skewers of meat are either all meat, all fat, or alternating pieces of meat and fat. Meat for Shashlik (as opposed to other forms of Shish kebab) are usually marinated overnight in a high-acidity marinade like vinegar, dry wine or sour fruit/vegetable juice with the addition of herbs and spices. While it isn't unusual to see shashlik listed on the menu of restaurants, it's more commonly sold by street vendors who roast the skewers over wood, charcoal, or coal. Shashlik is usually cooked on a grill called a mangal. It aso has become part of Israeli fastfood being brought over by Jews of Mongolia, and Russia. The name in Hebrew is similar: shishlyk. Shishlyk is prepared the same way as shashlik, and usually has very strong tasting and spicy miranades.
