BBQ Pitmasters

If you're a fan of BBQ you really need to check out this show airing every Thursday night at 10pm EST on TLC.



Kind of busy week for me but we'll get to supermarket sauces next weekend.

Bar-Be-Que???

Some food historians claim that the word comes from the French phrase barbe a queue, meaning "from beard to tail," the preferred method of spit-roasting entire hogs. Other sources suggest the word comes from 19th-century advertisements for combination bar, beer, pool and eating establishments, playfully dubbed bar-beer-cues.

Perhaps the most reasonable explanation I found stems from the Spanish word barbacoa, which roughly translates as "a wooden rack on which meat is roasted over flames." And you thought you weren't going to learn anything!

Ok, next week I'm going to talk about the different cuts of meat that come from our bovine friends.
