I’ve learned all sorts of things about the word “barbecue” in this thread. Where I come from, you can have a barbecue (party held outdoors where you serve grilled food), you can barbecue (cook food on a grill), and you can call anything barbecue that is coated in barbecue sauce. I was not aware until this thread that the only proper way to call something “barbecue” was to cook it low and slow over fire.
