Barbeque Pork Recipes

A barbecue or barbeque (also abbreviated BBQ, Bar-B-Q or Bar-B-Que) is a way of cooking food, often meat, with the heat and hot gases of a fire, smoking wood, or hot coals of charcoal and may include application of a marinade, spice rub, or basting sauce to the meat.

The word barbecue has attracted two inaccurate origins from folk etymology. One claim is that the word is derived from the French language. The story goes that French visitors to the Caribbean saw a pig being cooked whole and described the method as barbe à queue, meaning from beard to tail.

The choice and combination of woods burned result in different flavors imparted to the meat. Woods commonly selected for their flavor include mesquite, hickory, maple, cherry, pecan, apple and oak.

In the Southern United States, barbecue initially revolved around the cooking of pork, whereas a Texas barbecue is often assumed to be primarily beef.
