A special sort of meal, which is made of minced meat and spices and is very similar to the meatball, but has a different shape. Another difference between those is that the meat for meatballs has onions in it, which is not true for the kebapche. It looks like a finger, but is usually longer and thicker. It is always grilled, unlike meatballs which can be also fried. Bulgarians usually consume it with "shopska" sallad or french fries.
