What Lamb cut do you think kebab shops use for shish kebabs?
I've just made the Economy Gastronomy page 227 lamb kebabs & I used neck fillett, it cost a lot.
I would think a fast food place would use cheaper cuts, BUT shish kebabs are cooked fast over the charcoal so no chance of slow cooking.
It cost about £8.00 for 0.6 kg, I can't see kebab shops using that cut.
I made my own flat breads, used the panny to make the dough:D

I guessed they weren't using neck fillet or something like that.
Even cheaper cuts of lamb, aren't cheap are they:mad:0
