Teşekkürler Erdinç
But why kebabı and not kebabları? Without the -lar suffix how would anyone know that I wasn't just cooking one?
Also why the comma after için? It doesn't seem to separate a list of discrete items. However, I am not entirely sure where commas should be used in Turkish grammar :-S

Hi bod,
I used singular since it doesn't appear to be countable to me.
You can use a comma whenever you feel like seperating elements of a sentence. For instance when you want to seperate the subject from object, object from verb or a clasue from another. This usage is optional. You don't have to seperate every subject or object by adding a comma. If it is clear you don't need to but you can if you think it is unclear. I could add another comma after 'bugün'.

I am not sure that I understand how kebabs are not countable!!! They are made, cooked and eaten in discrete 'lumps'.......
I made four kebabs and cooked two, one for me and one for Mumfitt.

There was a tiny mistake. "domuz kebabı" is better than "domuz eti kebabı". I changed my first reply.
You are right. It is possible to make it plural but not by adding a plural suffix.
" Bugün akşam yemeği için, soğanlı, biberli ve mantarlı birkaç domuz kebabı pişireceğim. "
Future tense is slightly better than present continuous although the latter is OK as well.

I did wonder about domuz eti kebabı - is the problem the compound noun clause??? We already have a noun clause domuz eti (pork) and then have to use this noun to create a further noun clause "pork kebab". Or is it just simply that kebab is always going to be made our of the meat from the animal rather than the living creature?
