Kebab (from Persian کباب, kabāb) means "grilled (or broiled) meat" in Persian and Turkish (spelled Kebap in Turkish). Kebab is usually made of lamb and beef, although chicken and fish can be used for some styles. Pork is never used by Muslims because of religious belief but is sometimes used by non-Muslim sellers.
There are many varieties of kebab and the term means different things in different countries. The generic term kebab usually refers to döner kebab in Europe and to shish kebab in the United States, though its meaning can vary.
Perhaps the earliest recipe is in the tenth-century Kitab al-Tabeekh كتاب الطبيخ (book of cookery) by Ibn Sayyar al-Warraq of Baghdad. His recipe for Kebab Khalis uses thin slices of lean meat, salted and grilled in an ungreased frying pan.
Amongst airline crew and engineering staff kebab is in use as a slang term for an aircraft's jet engine - it spins and gets hot!

Chicken, beef, lamb etc. It's how it is cooked and served that makes it a kabab dish.

You don't say whether you mean Donar or Shish
Shish is obviously lamb which they put lemon over
Donar is everthing - it's a mix of leftovers that aren't nice. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole

It can be whatever you like. Lamb, beef, pork etc. The kabob part just means it is cut into "bite" size and put on a skewer.

It depends what lives in the alley way behind your local kebab place. Personally I just wouldn't want to know.
