History
Turkish Wikipedia defines şiş köfte as a köfte or kebab made on a skewer, with Tire and Burdur versions of its own. A 2022 Anadolu Agency report on a family shop in Antalya's wholesale market describes a day of preparation, four to five hours of cutting the sinew from the meat by hand, and tırnaklı pide baked in Korkuteli. Şişçi Ramazan says its flavour is unchanged since 1970, Kebap 32 Salih has stood at its present address since 2003, and Piyazcı Ahmet adds şiş köfte to the piyaz it has served since 1996.
