In may just be in human nature to barbecue. Well,
we have been doing it as far back as time can
denote. In the Stone Age, man hunted for food and
cooked it over an open flame. And while we still
cook over flame today, there are actually two
different types. True barbecue requires a sauce.
If not, you are just grilling. While both are
good, barbecue involves slowly cooking the meat
with low temperature for hours.
When you think about going to a barbecue, you
probably think of yummy, juicy food such as
hamburgers and steak or even a good hot dog with
all the fixins'. The term barbecue does not only
refer to the food but also to the event itself.
The act of gathering together with friends and
family to enjoy good food, drinks and a great time
has been an honored tradition for generations. It
doesn't matter where you live or where you are
from, the barbecue is a popular get-together.
So we all know that the barbecue is an honored
American tradition but just where did it originate
anyway? Well, there are several different states
that each has their own claim to fame when it
comes to the barbecue. Texas, Virginia, Georgia
and the Carolinas all have stories about how the
barbecue originated. If you look into the history
of barbecues you will see that each of these
states has a slightly different method of
barbecuing so they very well could have all come
up with it. Wherever the idea came from, it took
off really fast.
If you love barbecue, then you know a staple of
the successful barbecue is a great barbecue sauce.
There are different types of sauces but the
original Texas BBQ is famous for it's thick sweet
tomato flavor. In Texas, they also enjoy using a
dry-rub seasoning on the beef before it is
barbecued.
Southeast barbecue sauce is slightly different. If
you get BBQ sauce in Georgia it will likely be
thinner and with more vinegar. Another difference
in the barbecue is that instead of beef, they use
more pork. You will also see barbecue pits used
often. This method "smokes" the meat giving it a
great smoked in flavor. Pit barbecues are very
popular and leave you with great tasting meat.
Your family likely has their own barbecue secrets
and they might be passed down from generation to
generation. You might have your own secret BBQ
sauce recipe. Your family may have a slow cook
method for beef or pork or maybe you enjoy both.
Whatever type of barbecue you like, there is no
doubt that families and friends love it and it
will stick around for many more years to come. Laura Kjer is the webmaster of Shop Barbecue which is a
