mEAT's BBQ Sauce by Region and Tasting 9/30/12
Barbacoa = Sacred Fire Pit
Although unknown, most believe the word’s origin to be a
Caribbean term and cooking technique.
Samuel Johnson's 1756 dictionary gave the following
definitions:
· "To
Barbecue – a term for dressing a whole hog" (attestation to Pope)
· "Barbecue
– a hog dressed whole"
In the USA to grill is to cook in this manner quickly, while
barbecue is typically a much slower method utilizing less heat than grilling,
attended to over an extended period of several hours.
Barbecue Sauce
While it is unclear, some believe barbecue sauce’s roots are
traced to the Christopher Columbus’s voyage to the “New World.” It is thought
that he returned to Europe with a sauce he discovered in Hispaniola. Others believe that it wasn’t until the
17th C that word found its beginnings in the American colonies.
It wasn’t common for early cookbooks to include BBQ sauce
recipes.
Early cookbooks did not tend to include recipes for barbecue
sauce. Georgia Barbecue Sauce Company in Atlanta, Georgia produced the first
commercial BBQ sauce in 1909. It wasn’t until 1940 that Heinz released its
first BBQ sauce
