Hi all,

I'm after some vocab associated with Shashlik (шашлык).

I've had a look around the net, and asked a few people, but haven't been able to find out whether there is a russian word for the skewer itself, or the one who makes Shashlik (akin to a baker making baked goods).

Any thoughts?

While we're at it, does anyone have a rough idea of when Shashlik entered Russia?

Cheers,

Ioann.
