BBQ, what do you think about when you hear or see the word BBQ, do you have thoughts like, wow this is a complicated word I am sure you are thinking of the United States of America and/or the United Kingdom and what does BBQ mean. Well, basically BBQ is short for chopped up meats, back ribs, pulled pork, etc. being cooked in a pit or oven. The usual meat is pork but you can also use beef, chicken, mutton, lamb, etc.
The history of BBQ is an interesting one. Legend has it that the word Barbeque comes from the West Indies word, “barbacoa”, which means fiery cook. The Caribbean word for Barbeque is “beef jerky”. So you can see that there is a link between the USA and Jamaica here. In the USA, when you see BBQ, it usually means smoking. But the meaning of BBQ is much more than that, many people in the USA like to BBQ outdoors using charcoal, wood, gas, etc. Also, the term BBQ has been used to refer to the process of cooking skinned and almost any meats you can think of (in fact you can even BBQ with fish and other seafood).
The history of BBQ goes back to ancient times, it’s a very oldirling tradition. throughout the history of human civilization, the process of cooking meat has evolved into one of the most complex ways to prepare food. initially, while much of the history of cooking meat is unknown, we do know that early man enjoyed sun roasted meat. But it was only in the last 6,000 years, that the process of cooking meat completely changed. Apart from the fact that people began to eat instant foods, there is no evidence that they enjoyed the process of cooking meat. It is believed that the first evidence of GF cooking occurred around 12,000 years ago, the evidence of GF cooking was also seen in the Middle East region. During this time frame, GF foods were only known in the Greek cuisine. It is not really so much known that until recently, Muslims also embrace GF foods.
The coming of apart GI’s to the western world
The American culture and GI’s have icantly connected through foods. From Macaroni and Cheese to hamburger, the art of cooking has received a lot of influence from the GI’s. specifically the Vietnamese and the Chinese. Chines have not only eaten Chinese foods, but have also adopted a lot of Chinese traditions.
GI’s have left these names behind because many of them have become popular outside of China, and particularly in Vietnam. Further research suggests that Chinese food, in fact, is not only an influence for the Vietnamese, but has had a lot of influence on the Vietnamese as well. This has been such that a lot of the cuisines have come together to form what is known as typical Vietnamese food, and have been largely influenced by the Chinese. Which actually goes a long way towards explaining why so many of the dishes that are eaten today are actually copies of Chinese dishes.
The famous dishes say that, “ha la vong” which means “Have you had enough of chicken?” This is well known in Vietnamese and means that it has been cooked enough already. The Vietnamese have even adapted this dish to suit their own culture. This is why the dish can be found in Vietnamese restaurants and other restaurants all over the world.
Pho is another famous noodle dish, and it can be found in many restaurants and hawking centers in Vietnam. Pho is the sort of noodle dish that is known for its fragrant broth and lends itself to many side dishes. This type of noodle dish is different from the other noodle dishes that are served in Chinese restaurants and is a strong example of cultural fusion.
