Barbecue - or simply BBQ, as the Americans call it - is much more than a kitchen trick. Rather, it's a way of life, built around meat cooked in smoke over a slow fire. Its history goes back a long way to the Caribbean archipelago, where indigenous people used to prepare their food by smoking and charcoal frying. The tradition was carried on by the Spaniards, and the Americans gave birth to the distinctive BBQ culture that is now known the world over. It's no wonder, because when meat is patiently cooked over smoke for hours, every bite has something special about it: the community, the occasion and the taste of tradition.
Iconic flavours of America
Barbecue is not just one type of food, it is a whole gastronomic world. In Texas, for example, beef dominates, in Memphis it's spicy pork, while in the Carolinas it's the spicy, vinegar-based sauces that make the experience unforgettable. And Kansas City is famous for its juicy tomato-based sauces. What they all have in common is the slow cooking, the taste of smoke, and the kind of community atmosphere that revolves around BBQ. A barbecue is always about more than just eating: it's about celebration, gathering, a little slice of America.
