BARBECUE TIME IS HERE!

 BARBECUE IS CONSIDERED AMERICAN COOKING CUISINE.  HOWEVER, THE ORIGIN OF THE BARBECUE COMES FROM AN ISLAND NATION.  THE TAINO INDIANS OF THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS WOULD SMOKE MEAT ON STICKS OVER AN OPEN PIT. EUROPEAN EXPLORERS FROM SEVERAL COUNTRIES ENCOUNTERED THESE NATIVES.  WHEN THEY CAME TO THE NEW WORLD, THEY BROUGHT THIS METHOD WITH THEM.   

THESE EUROPEAN EXPLORERS SETTLED ON THE EASTERN SEABOARD OF THE NEW WORLD.  THE METHOD OF BARBECUING INITIALLY BEGAN IN MASSACHUSETTS AND VIRGINIA AND AS IT IMPROVED, SPREAD FURTHER INTO THE SOUTHERN STATES.  IT HAS SINCE BECOME A MAINSTAY CUISINE OF THE SOUTH.   

WHEN THE METHOD OF BARBECUING INITIALLY BEGAN, DIFFERENT TYPES OF MEATS SUCH AS PORK, BEEF, AND CHICKEN WERE COOKED.  HOWEVER, THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, PEOPLE HAVE ADDED A DIVERSITY OF FOODS FROM FISH TO VEGETABLES TO FRUIT AND EVEN DESSERT!
