А я подавился слюной.

sure, shashlik is Russian, originally from the Caucasia (which is a Russian region)

oh, and you eat it with spicy, self-made ketchup, and grilled vegetables ...

perfect grill-party dish

Right. I think that was TATY's point: it was from the Caucauses, and not "Russia proper" in terms of the Slavic, ethnic Russian core. This seems to suggest it was from either the Caucauses or Turkey (I always thought like Georgia):

right, so shashlik has roots from Turkey, came to Armenia, Caucasus and then spread to all over Russia....now that we know its lifestory, we can talk about the awesome taaast :P...

shish-kebab is a good normal English word, too, isn't it?

And we can all write about that mouth-watering photo using a карандаш, which isn't Russian either.

I wouldn't say shish-kebab is an English word.

I was just saying шашлик is a loan word.

loan-shmoan, it is written in Russian and used in the Russian language. Therefore it is a Russian word. If it is written like a duck, if it is used like a duck, it is a duck.

Ethymology is a different subject. No word is french because it is all loan words from latin?

Well, I think that the word "шашлык" is quite new for Russian language. It's new enough to be felt as something not entirely Russian. It kinda doesn't sound Russian, even though all native speakers do know this word.

When you say "new", do you mean something like two, three hundred years? "Шашлыкъ" есть в словаре Даля.

To my knowledge, and I well may be wrong, it came to Russian during Caucasus war approx. 400 ago. But it was not used widely. As well as this food was not cooked a lot outside of Caucasus region.

Of course this is a grey area. I mean English is full of word of foreign, e.g. French origin.

But certain words are much more recent, and or not particularly aglisised.

Toilet comes from French Toillette but has been anglisised and has been in English for aaaaaaaaages.

Naive is much more recent however and still is often written wth the dots above the I.

I wouldn't call fianc

Speaking of 'fianc

The word "шашлык" comes from the tatar language. "шаш" means "spit", "лык" is a suffix.
