It's Springtime, its BBQ time........

Spring is in the air and its time to look for some fresh BBQ ideas for the season.

The idea of BBQ has been transformed over the past few years and welcomed by many. It lets the Dad's in on the kitchen fun.

When I goggled BBQ it was quite surprising to learn about the history of the BBQ. Here is one idea that I liked.....hope you like it too.....

So where do you start with a History of Barbecue? Let’s start with this somewhat controversial premise. Everything that is typically called Barbecue has a couple of things in common. Barbecue requires meat. You grill vegetables. For those of us living in the twentieth century, meat, regardless of what kind is far more prevalent than it was to our ancestors. Industrialized ranching, refrigeration and mass trucking of goods have made meat a not only a staple of diet but practically an every meal entree. In the evolution of Barbecue, wherever that evolution took place one this has always been a constant. Barbecue is more than a meal. It is an event. People gather for good barbecue, whether invited or not. Barbecue is an event that gathers people around a fire to watch, smell and eat. Like the fires of prehistory this is the place to eat, drink and tell stories.
