How did Barbecue start? I have no idea.
It might have started in Texas. Why? Everything starts in Texas.
Texas Barbecue is Beef (no pork) and maybe some Chicken.
Texas Barbecue is Beef Ribs, Brisket,and good times.
How did Pork come in to play as a Barbecue? That's easy, Texas had all the cows.
All anybody else had were Hogs and Chickens.
So people had to cook something.
How did Barbecue start? I think somebody fell asleep cooking and the coals got low and the meat looked like it got burnt (Crust) but it turned out great!!! (Lucky for them)
"Hey I invented Barbecue" (you had to say something)
( the meat looked burnt - the wife was really bent out of shape - but it was OK you had a plan. This is how great things come into being, most of the time by a mistake and a wife that "is not happy about it"
But whoever started it, all agree Barbecue must be done low (heat) and slow (takes many hours) to produce what is truly great Barbecue.
There are all kinds of woods to give Barbecue that lip smack'n taste of great "QUE" One thing is for sure, "You can't rush Barbecue" It is a tradition that has been handed down from many generations and from some of the best cooks in the world.
My take on it, "Low and Slow wins every time, and I love that lip smack'n finger lick'n stuff no matter how you spell it!!"
