35 JULY 2018 FUN FACTS: BARBECUE NO DEFINITIVE ORIGIN There is no definitive history about how the word “barbecue” originated — or why it’s sometimes used as a noun, verb, or adjective. Some say the Spaniards get the credit for the word, derived from their “barbacoa” which is an American-Indian word for the framework of green wood on which foods were placed for cooking over hot coals. Others think the French were responsible, offering the explanation that when the Caribbean pirates arrived on our Southern shores, they cooked animals on a spit-like devise that ran from “whiskers to tail” or “de barbe a` queue.” SAY WHAT? DID YOU KNOW? More than 8 percent of all restaurants in Alabama are barbecue joints. George Washington wrote of attending a “barbicue” in 1769. Nobody really knows where the word comes from. The “smoke ring” comes from a carbon monoxide-based chemical reaction. The most popular holidays for barbecuing are, in order, July 4th (71%), Memorial Day (57%), and Labor Day (55%). The most popular barbecue utensils are long-handled tongs (77%), followed by forks (64%), long handled spatulas (59%), and then grill cleaning brushes (63%).
