Fun Fact:

Evidence of the prehistoric use of skewers was found at a 300,000-year-old site in Germany, where a stick with a burnt tip was found to cook meat over a fire. Also, excavations of a Minoan settlement in the Mediterranean region found an exquisitely carved barbecue apparatus that dates to the 17th century BC.
