One of those images also showed a snake on the grill. Cause of that, I'm going to see if anyone is doing barbecued or slow cooked fish.

    I agree with some of what is now known as American BBQ, but this style of cooking (what we term as direct heat), only represents 25% of American BBQ, and is regionally limited from Tennessee, Eastward to the Carolinas. Offset pit smokers (Indirect Heat), known as Texas style BBQ, is much more prevalent throughout the US, either in outdoor wood fire only offset pit smokers to rotisserie style, gas assisted smokers you see inside many US based BBQ restaurants.. I am hoping to visit Mrs Rosie's R&s bbq tompkinsville ky later this month to sample her 3rd generation, world famous pork shoulder, cooked over direct heat.

      People have cooked meat over coals since fire was discovered. Europeans, and English especially cooked pigs over wood coals. What we call bbq started in the lower areas of the Carolinas, whole hog and vinegar sauce. It has evolved regionally through time of course. Who do you think taught slaves their methods.. People forget Europeans had been smoking meat and whole animal cooking since very early times. Of course the slaves cooked, that was part of their role in those times. It is was it is, it isn't fun to have smoke in your eyes all night. Cultures always learn amongst each other, but claiming this is preposterous. Yes, both black and white people still cook bbq, but history needs to be understood, not basterdized.
