spießenspießt

Spießenspießt is a rarely used German term that may appear as a tautological compound referring to a skewer used to spear food on another skewer, or more simply as a playful neologism for a skewer in general. It is not part of standard culinary vocabulary and is seldom found in dictionaries or cookbooks. When encountered, the sense is usually deduced from context or explained as a linguistic joke rather than as a defined utensil or dish.

In everyday German, cooks and writers prefer Spieß, Spieße or Spießchen to name skewers, and more specific varieties such as Fleischspieße (meat skewers) or Gemüsespieße (vegetable skewers). The more general term Schaschlik or Kebap is used for dishes comprising skewered and grilled meat, often with vegetables, across German-speaking regions and in diaspora communities.

If used, Spießenspießt would typically be understood as referring to skewers used for grilling or roasting, rather than to a distinct object with a separate culinary function. The construction mirrors German compounding practices, but its repetitive form makes it nonstandard.
