Souvlaki
In modern times, the French traveler Gustave Flaubert saw Greeks "grilling pieces of meat on a bamboo stick" when he visited the Greek countryside of Boeotia in 1850. But modern souvlaki was not widespread in Greece until after World War II. Souvlaki skewers served as fast food began to be sold widely in the 1960s after their introduction by sellers from Boeotia. The word souvlaki in the English language was first used in 1942.
