kebobs

Meat on sticks

Kebobs is a variant spelling of kebabs—chunks of meat, vegetables, or both threaded onto skewers and grilled or roasted.

The spelling reflects attempts to render Middle Eastern pronunciations into English, with kebab, kebob, and kabob all in common use: We threw some chicken kebobs on the grill.
