Shawarma is a meat preparation technique in Turkey where lamb, chicken, beef, or a combination of meats are placed on a vertical spit and slowly roasted for a long time. To serve the shawarma, long, thin slices of the meat are carved from the spit. It is then served in salads, in sandwiches, or simply on a plate.  It is commonly served with chopped or shredded vegetables, pickles, and condiments like tahini or hummus.

    • Very much like that, only the bread that the meat is typically served with is very, very thin although it has the same taste as pita bread.
