Shish kebabs, which can be almost anything on a skewer.
My favorites are prawns or chunks of chicken that have
half a slice of soft-cooked bacon around them to add fat
and flavor.

One unexpected nice thing on a shish kebab is avocado.
It takes on a nice caky texture when cooked. They do
get soft, so it's good if neighboring chunks help keep
them in place. One potentially bad surprise is cherry
tomatoes, which store considerable heat and tend to
burst it all out when you bite down on them.

To keep stuff from sliding off the ends, half of a
Brussels sprout is a reliable stop. Also, the center
of a small onion can serve the same purpose. Yellow
onions are usually so cheap that peeling off several
outer layers gives you a small onion that's cheaper
than buying onions that are grown to be small.
