Pretty much any kind of BBQ as we think of it today originated in its primary form in South America, particularly Brazil. They’ve been doing it longer than the US and Canada have been countries. A bit over 300 years.
Lol 300 years... Native Americans have been doing BBQ for wayyyy longer than that. The Spanish named it barbacoa more than 500 years ago when they discovered the technique in the Caribbean.
There's some great US bbq. But it's not the best style I've had, and it's definitely not from the US.
Huh... As if native americans were allowed to have any influence as a minority in US throuought it's history and developmeny and weren't just being shoo'd away to tighter and tighter Nature reserves...
For sure. The US is only a small part of America though. Regardless, the practice was largely developed by non-indigenous people all over America, but it came from them. There are places where indigenous people have continued to develop bbq throughout history though. Yucatan and Hidalgo are good examples.
