BBQ cooking has left its imprint on the American sands since before the colonial era.
BBQ was famous in the Southeastern states at the time, including Kentucky, Texas, Central Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Virginia!!
Before you get too excited, this is not to say that Americans invented barbecue cooking.
BBQ cooking did not originate in the United States of America.
BBQ cooking originated in the Caribbean Islands, as explorer Christopher Columbus discovered the act of BBQ cooking while visiting Hispaniola Island.
The people of this Island were using alligators and deer as meat for their BBQ smoking.
From Hispaniola Island, meat smoking (BBQ cooking) extended its popularity to Tupelo in the United States of America before spreading to the north of Virginia.
That was actually how BBQ cooking came to become the in-thing in America. From South America, BBQ cooking has traveled to other parts of America. These are the shreds of evidence of how the Americans don't joke about barbecued meats. The people even have a day for BBQ lovers to celebrate this legendary traditional American delicacy!
