How to Cook dishes from American Barbecues
Barbecue is a style of cooking in which the food is cooked over the hot gases of a fire, smoking wood,
or hot charcoal coals. Many different foods can be cooked this way, although meats tend to be emphasized.
and the meats are often marinated, rubbed with spices, or coverd with a basting sauce.
In the United States, the word
"barbecue" tends to refer to relatively indirect methods of cooking the food (for example using
smoking charcoal), whereas high heat methods tend to be referred to as "grilling". In other
countries, different words are used, for example in
Britain, "barbecue"
is used to refer to both indirect and high-heat methods of cooking, and the word "grilling"
refers to what Americans would call "broiling".
While barbecue is a common style of cooking around the world, it has become particularly population in the
United States.
There are of course many different regional recipes, dishes, and techniques for cooking them,
and there are also many barbecue events such as competitions, cook-offs, and festivals.
