Barbecue for You
In may just be in human nature to barbecue. Well,we have been doing it as far back as time candenote. In the Stone Age, man hunted for food andcooked it over an open flame. And while we stillcook over flame today, there are actually twodifferent types. True barbecue requires a sauce.If not, you are just grilling. While both aregood, barbecue involves slowly cooking the meatwith low temperature for hours. When you think about going to a barbecue, youprobably think of yummy, juicy food such ashamburgers and steak or even a good hot dog withall the fixins'. The term barbecue does not onlyrefer to the food but also to the event itself.The act of gathering together with friends andfamily to enjoy good food, drinks and a great timehas been an honored tradition for generations. Itdoesn't matter where you live or where you arefrom, the barbecue is a popular get-together. So we all know that the barbecue is an honoredAmerican tradition but just where did it originateanyway? Well, there are several different statesthat each has their own claim to fame when itcomes to the barbecue. Texas, Virginia, Georgiaand the Carolinas all have stories about how thebarbecue originated. If you look into the historyof barbecues you will see that each of thesestates has a slightly different method ofbarbecuing so they very well could have all comeup with it. Wherever the idea came from, it tookoff really fast. If you love barbecue, then you know a staple ofthe successful barbecue is a great barbecue sauce.There are different types of sauces but theoriginal Texas BBQ is famous for it's thick sweettomato flavor. In Texas, they also enjoy using adry-rub seasoning on the beef before it isbarbecued. Southeast barbecue sauce is slightly different.
