Not many understand what it feels like to eat barbecued stuffs in a barbeque event or two. People have tasted many things with barbecue flavor on them, but rarely have they ever tasted the succulent ambrosia that is a real meat barbecued on top of your traditional charcoal barbeque grill. Yes, my friend, if you head over to any BBQ event, you will surely find food that will beat the snap out your bottled barbecue sauce. If you have eaten a meat cooked in any barbecue way, its flavor will haunt you in the most desperate of times.
That is, unless you are a vegetarian or a vegan, in which I do not know why you would read an article on barbecues. This is an anti-vegan zone, my friend, and if you see yourself as one, then I suggest you leave before you get converted into the meat-eater flock. If you are a vegan, reading this article will be a sin on itself.
If you see yourself as a proud devourer of flesh, then by all means continue reading this brief history on barbecue, which I hope will be something that can enlighten you flesh eaters surrounding this heavenly meat manna.
Why is barbeque called barbeque
Before we begin talking about barbecue and its variants, we need to know first about why barbecue is called a barbecue. Not many knows it, but the word barbecue (or barbeque, both are right) comes from the Spanish lexicon. The word in question is barbacoa, which kind of resembles barbecue for a bit. Barbacoa itself comes from barabicu which is some sort of Caribbean. I do not know why barabicu turned into barbacoa, but I think it comes from the Spanish’s inability to let the native’s culture and language stay that way.
What to barbeque on a barbequing event
In a barbecuing event, the only thing that you cannot barbecue is your imagination. Everything works great when it touches the barbecue grill. Many people have barbecued things like pineapple and some thought that a coconut barbeque is a good food. I do believe that when it comes to taste, people should have the freedom of deciding whether it is a tasty food or not. Especially when it comes to barbeque.
Barbecue is a very popular event all over the world, and many countries got their own names for an event where barbecues are concerned. Some countries, however, have not got their barbecue game on. Countries like Indonesia sure got its own BBQ Indonesia crowd, but they are not that popular because a barbecue event is somewhat expensive to hold. Barbeque is a luxury that not many Indonesians can afford, hence its lack of presence in the maritime country.
