The History of Grilling
American barbecue means beef in Texas and pork in the Carolinas, and its origins can be traced to the economical practices of smoking meat for long-term preservation in the colonies. Pigs and cattle were the main meat sources imported from Europe to sustain colonists and slaves alike, and pigs were particularly valued for being low-maintenance.
The origins of the word barbecue have been traced to the Spanish word “barbacoa,” which was used to describe the meat smoking and drying methods of the natives that Spanish explorers encountered upon arrival in the Americas. Smoke was used to drive away the bugs that were attracted to exposed raw meat, in addition to lending a tasty flavor to the meat-preserving process.There is also speculation around the French combination of words "barbe" and "queue" (beard-to-tail) as the origin, as well as theories of an American version, "bar-beer-cue" (as in pool cue).
Within the United States, the difference between barbecuing and grilling is an important distinction for outdoor chefs.
