Quoting bod: 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? |
It is because "domuz eti kebabı" in unneccassarily long. We use the animal's name when we refer to its meat anyway.
In English you have two different things 'pig' and 'pork' while we don't have. So we simply say "kuzu kebabı" etc.
When I first came to the UK I pointed to the ham and asked "Is this pig meat?".
