A Skewered History: The History of Skewers & Kebabs

On this episode of Eat My Globe our host, Simon Majumdar, will be looking at the history of skewers. Now this might sound like a subject that doesn't need much thought. You put stuff on a skewer and then put it on a grill. Skewers, however, have so much interesting history. Simon will talk about the difference between "Kebab" and "Kebob"; the skewer's origins in Central Asia; the skewers' role in Homer's epic poem, "The Odessey"; the ancient Roman and Chinese people's affinity towards skewers; the origin of donner kebabs; how Americans love "anything on a stick"; and so much more.  So make sure to follow along every week and follow us on: Twitter: @EatMyGlobePcast Instagram: @EatMyGlobe Facebook: @EatMyGlobeOfficial Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/EatMyGlobe Website: https://www.eatmyglobe.com/    Twitter: @SimonMajumdar Instagram: @SimonMajumdar Facebook: @SimonMajumdarPage LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-majumdar-2760156
