Peer comment(s):

agree Berni Armstrong : Maria is right strictly speaking, but 90% of English speakers would shake their heads as much at "brochettes" as at "enfilats" - everyone knows a kebab when they see one. Depends on your target audience... Gourmets? Joe Average?

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks. In the end, I used "kebabs" instead of "kebab snacks". I know what Brochettes are, but I think John Q. Public would not."
