How did the term Barbecue come about?!
It's so common now I don't even think about it, but I just saw a bag of chips written as Bar-B-Q and thought it was weird!. I guess you could write it that way, but it's usually BBQ or the whole word, barbecue!. How did it come about!? Other flavors make sense because they explain what they are, for example, sour cream!. It's cream that's sour!. Other cookouts make sense, too, like a pig roast!. It's a pig, being roasted!. So, what's up with barbecue!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:

Without looking it up and not ever hearing why, I'm going to stake my reputation (wow) on it being the brand of a cattle outfit from early western days!. Just what it sounds like to me!. I'll betcha' a nickel their method of cooking and their brand became synonymous - makes a good story anyway!. The brand would read "___" over the letters "BQ"!. I can't make it come out right on here!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The first word for BBQ was: holy cow that's hot way back when!.
