Do you love BBQ?

[Dongie]

It's been around since the caveman. Cooking meat over an open fire. But the Taino Indians of the Caribbean are attributed to its origin. The Spaniards liked what they saw in the way they used a wooden wrack to smoke their meat. I guess from there they started messing with the sauce. And without the sauce, it's not really BBQ.
Its basic form, is believed to have originated in the 1600s, with early recipes likely including lime juice, hot peppers, and vinegar. These sauces were initially used as simple seasonings for barbecued meat. The earliest specific recipe for a "sauce for barbecue" appeared in a cookbook in the U. S. in 1867. Over time, barbecue sauce recipes evolved with the addition of ingredients like mustard, tomato, sugar, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce, resulting in the diverse regional styles we see today.

I used to be my own "Calm the Grill Master" a lot because I love Bar-B-Qued meat.
Next Saturday our entire apartment building has been invited to a barbecue here with all the fixins.

I love the pleasure of barbecue. I prefer barbecue rather than going to a restaurant.

[Dongie]

That's nice.

When we had a gas grill in the back yard, it was okay, to a degree but, quite often., the burgers were either never done enough or over-done. I'd much rather cook them on a stove.

[Dongie]

😅 ok.

[seeyounexttuesday]

[FunkyMonkee]

@seeyounexttuesday What would YOU call it?

[seeyounexttuesday]

[FunkyMonkee]

@seeyounexttuesday Same thing! Instead of using oil to get the charcoal burning, we used gas to get them hot!!

Barbecue holds a special place in my heart! The smoky aroma, the sizzling sound of meats on the grill, and the anticipation of tasting that first bite is pure bliss. I once had the chance to attend a BBQ festival in Texas, where different regional styles converged into a carnival of flavors. Each bite, whether drenched in a vinegar-based sauce or sweet with molasses, was a testament to diverse culinary traditions. BBQ's global variations offer endless exploration possibilities. 🍖🔥

When I smell barbecue, a big smile appears on my face. Standing guard right next to the meat when it starts to sizzle is one of my favorite hobbies.

[Dongie]

I bet you slay that meat, too! 😅
