When the Fourth of July parades end and the sun starts to set, fire up the grill and get ready for some BBQ. Whether it’s beef or pork, chicken or vegetables, barbecue is distinctly American and there’s nothing quite like enjoying a delicious barbeque while watching fireworks explode overhead to make you feel that good old patriotic pride.
The name barbecue (or barbeque) is actually derived from the Arawak Indian word barbacoa, which referred to their cooking technique. It’s believed that Columbus first encountered the term when he was in the Caribbean, and it spread to other parts of the Americas where native tribes used this method of slow-cooking meat. The word eventually made its way to the US and by the 19th century, it was well established in the South where pigs became the preferred meat, probably because they were easier to raise in humid climates.
Interestingly, the barbecue originated with enslaved people in this region and it’s likely that most of the people seen manning the pits in wood carvings and images from the time are African-American slaves. In fact, it’s quite possible that the early barbeques were a kind of social gathering where all the enslaved people of a community would gather to enjoy food prepared and served by their peers.
Although some communities in Spain have laws against barbequing on balconies and terraces of shared buildings, it’s perfectly legal to barbecue on your own private property in most cases. Just make sure to keep your food and drinks away from the hot embers and be aware that smoke can irritate your lungs.
