Nga the word bbq is derived from barbacoa which comes from native Americans and the Mexicans co opted the word for chopped beef cheeks. They started American bbq but blacks (uncredited) made it a lot better. Vox ran a story on the origin of bbq and how black pit masters get no run but Bobby Flays white ass is apparently the best in the business :comeon:

Yes black people invented America BBQ. Black people damn invented everything especially in America. This is why other groups and races are so jealous of black people. This is also why they love black people. They just hate that they can't beat black people in nothing.

Look at the c00ns and cacs on the first page talking bout "No the native Americans did". Without providing no proof or nothing just trying to discredit black people for the hell of it because they're jealous of black people. People really don't want black people to know how great they are.

The word barbecue is a Native American word but the flavor is ours.

:birdman:


A Brief History of Barbecue
I don't know where this stuff about Native people and barbque came from, but they were not doing what we call barbque.


The word specifically comes not just from cooking meat over an open fire, but slow-cooking it above the flame using a wooden framework (the first barbecue grills). The word they took wasn't actually the word for cooking the meat, it was the word for the wooden grills themselves.

Gonzalo Fernández De Oviedo y Valdés, a Spanish explorer, was the first to use the word "barbecoa" in print in Spain in 1526 in the Diccionario de la Lengua Española (2nd Edition) of the Real Academia Española. After Columbus landed in the Americas in 1492, the Spaniards apparently found Taíno roasting meat over a grill consisting of a wooden framework resting on sticks above a fire. The flames and smoke rose and enveloped the meat, giving it a certain flavor.

I assume you're trolling but I don't get the joke? :heh:

Literally every culture on Earth cooks food, going back hundreds of thousands of years. Like I pointed out, the word barbecue comes from the taino people of the Caribbean whose word barbacoa referred to the wooden grills they used to slow-cook meat well above the fire rather than directly on it.
