Kebab Day is observed in Sweden every September 11, celebrating the popularity of kebab as a beloved street food. Originally a Middle Eastern dish, kebab encompasses various types of cooked meat, traditionally lamb or mutton, but also includes beef, chicken, goat, and fish. In Sweden, kebab typically refers to fast food served in pita or flatbread, often accompanied by onions, salad, and sauce, with popular variations like kebab plates and kebab rolls. A unique dish that emerged in the 1980s is kebab pizza, which combines kebab meat with pizza ingredients, reflecting the fusion of Middle Eastern and Italian cuisines. While the exact origins of Kebab Day are unclear, it is recognized as a day to appreciate this versatile dish, with garlic sauce being the most favored condiment among consumers.
