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

Probably just the cheapest Mrs E, afterall most of it ends up on the taxi floor , or down the toilet

Reconstituted in many cases I believe.

Just to be clear I'm not talking about donar kebab meat (pet food).

i wouldn't eat it myself. Maybe if there was a life dependancy thing....! Good work on the flatbreads you little breadmaker you!

i'm guessing they use really cheap cuts and then marinade to tenderise them?

zippychick

ah sorry, i don't eat kebabs so get them mixed up!

ive seen recipes using shoulder and marinading for up to 36 hours beforehand... then cook for just 4-6 mins each side.. i just googled it.. but havent tried them..

That makes sense.

I guessed they weren't using neck fillet or something like that.

Even cheaper cuts of lamb, aren't cheap are they:mad:

Why, how very dare you, you great big snob! Donner meat is lovely

With regards to the lamb, it'll just be the cheapest they can get their hands on.
