What does CABOB mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
A piece of meat, especially mutton, threaded onto a skewer and roasted over a fire; an older spelling of kabob or kebab.
Cabob names the same skewered and roasted meat dish that most modern speakers instead call a kabob or a kebab, all three forms tracing back to the same word borrowed from Turkish and Persian cooking traditions. Older English cookbooks used cabob for both the finished dish and the act of preparing it, sometimes describing a whole leg of mutton stuffed and roasted rather than small skewered pieces. Today cabob survives mainly as a historical or regional spelling, largely replaced in everyday writing by kabob and kebab. Whichever spelling is used, cabob still points to meat cooked on a skewer over an open flame.
