Borrowed from Russian шашлы́к (šašlýk), from Turkic; compare Turkish şaşlık, Turkish şişlik. Doublet of chislic.

Used in a sentence

  • Men entered the room bearing skewers of tikas—kebabs or shashliki, we would call them—spitted chunks of lamb that had been roasted with onions and other seasoning.
  • Everyone went to the Pump Room where the children would be entertained by the Nubian Slaves with flaming skewers of shashlik, while their parents talked to Irving Kupcinet, the Eiffel Tower of Chicago columnists.
  • They swam and fished by day, they drank wine and grilled shashliki in the evenings, and sometimes they drove into Yalta to enjoy the night-life, but throughout it all Minka remained detached, like a convalescent.
