<In South Africa, a kebab is made of alternate pieces of meat, onion, tomato, mushroom, etc., on a skewer, grilled over an open flame. That which is called "Kebab" here is known as "Schwarma" in South Africa, and in most Middle eastern countries.>

I thought there was a distinction between shish kebab ('stuff' on a stick, as you are talking about in South Africa) and doner kebab ('stuff' in a pitta bread) and possibly several other kinds of kebab that I can't remember at all now. Anyone got any ideas?
