    At 1:35, the reason behind the mention of "pistachio oil" is actually quite interesting. In Turkey, there's a city called "Gaziantep," often referred to simply as "Antep." Now, what's intriguing is that we have a specific type of pistachio called "Antep fıstığı," which translates to "Antep nut." This city is renowned not only for its delicious pistachios but also for its exceptional lamb dishes.
    So, when you see the term "pistachio oil" in the video, it's a nod to the connection between Antep and these incredible flavors. The lamb fat featured is actually sourced from this region, and since Antep is famous for its top-quality lamb, it's no wonder there might be a bit of confusion. It's all about celebrating the unique culinary heritage of Antep and its mouthwatering offerings.
    Absolutely loving this video! Sending warm regards from Turkey! 🇹🇷👏

      I think it is just a translate error, It is a city famous for its pistachios and when you type “Antep” it translates as pistachio 😂

    In Iraq, that's what we call Kabob (the chunks on skewers we call them Tikka , like the indian word) , and Kufta is the mini round shaped patty 🙂. I told my father in law, who's Bulgarian, that i was going to being him Kabob. He said he does not like Kabobs !! I told him "oh no, I'm bringing you Iraqi Kabob!" When I brought him the food , he screamed "oh ..Kebapche !!" Which made me worried, because that word he said mean "the one who makes kabob" in Iraqi dialect 😂 But obviously they do have the same Iraqi/Turkish style of Kabob in Bulgaria ❤

    A symphony of smoky aromas from the grill, flavours and textures truly captures the essence of Turkish cuisine ❤🇹🇷 I feel like I’ve been transported back to Adana.
    Obi, your experiment produced interesting results. I would have thought that meat that's been ground twice achieves a more cohesive “chewier” texture that sticks to the skewer better.
    In any event, thanks for the great content 👍🏻

      Yeah, that's what I was thinking the whole time. And also how Chris and Steph always commented on how beef takes longer than other meats (particularly pork) to hand-mince--but never 40 minutes IIRC. I wonder if that doesn't have something to do with the Chinese technique and the heavier Chinese knives.

    About that translating tail fat as pistachio oil nonsense: Antep is a city of Turkey where tail fat is a common ingredient, also pistachio is called "antep fıstığı" (literally "Antep nut" in Turkish. So the translators either got too creative or used a really bad version of google translate.
    Also I like the fact the French doesn't follow the other languages. The guy who translated it was like "No, c'est pas vrai! I'm not calling this mutton fat pistachio oil.

    Turkish guy who does kebap: Your only mistake is to add onions in the kebap, Adana kebap does not have onions in it. Also, the hand chopped meat is traditional as you pointed out and provides a loose texture. Meat from a meat grinder toughens the texture, makes it chewier and denser. It is said that a good kebap needs to fall apart when you touch it with your fork before eating, that is how loose its texture needs to be. And this is also the difference to köfte, as köfte is made from industrial ground meat and is expected to be chewier and more elastic.

    Every time you show some shortcut that isn't traditional in these Turkish foods I understand what Italians feel when people break their spaghetti. My conscious mind understands how and why that is happening but there's a deep seated feeling of "wrongness" in the primal parts of my psyche.

    I'm from Adana. Don't add ONION in to the meat. There is no onion in Adana Kebap. It will change taste from adana kebap to şiş köfte.
    Rest of the recipe is correct.
    If you don't have flat sishs, you can make flat meatballs and coock it on bbq.

    I was hopeful until the onion, onion is no no in the Adana kebab.. and unfortunately chopping the meat like this is a wrong technique, you should use a large kebab knife (zirh) not to get a mushy texture.
