Speaking of BBQ....
Does anyone know from where the word barbecue originates?
OK, I\'ll tell you.
It dates back to the days of the Spanish explorers. When they were travelling through what is now roughly Brazil, they encountered to the natives who invited them to a feast. The meat was roasted over a green wood fire. BTW, it\'s not technically a BBQ unless you\'re using green wood, by tradition. Much to the disgust of the Spaniards, they discovered that the indigenous ppl were cannibals and they found themselves feasting on human flesh. So who knows, maybe they did BBQ kids.?. Anyway, the Spaniards called these indigenous ppl Barbacoa...which has since evolved into barbecue or BBQ, for short.
OK, there you have it.
