    Do you guys like fatty brisket?

    I do. I know some people thin this defeats the purpose of brisket and spirit of BBQ but it does taste good.

    What do you guys think of these articles are on the origin of BBQ/low and slow meat smoking?

    I'm dying laughing over here There's also Cajun cochon de lait and as far as I know Cajuns are the epitome of poor non slaveowning whites. Of course there is a video of the Cochon de Lait festival where it is mentioned that a black guy cooked for some of the first festivals. Maybe he invented...

    What do you guys think of these articles are on the origin of BBQ/low and slow meat smoking?

    I'm not agreeing with what they are saying. Just trying to understand the argument. I'll try to do some research from primary sources to determine if BBQ was done more regularly than they are arguing. But the gist of their argument is Native Americans taught blacks who further developed BBQ and...

    What do you guys think of these articles are on the origin of BBQ/low and slow meat smoking?

    Their logic is nobody else low and slow smoked whole animals. Europe only smoked cured meats and the whole animal cooking in the Americas was exclusively done by slaves and only done once or twice a year. There's apparently postcards backing this up lol

    What do you guys think of these articles are on the origin of BBQ/low and slow meat smoking?

    Good post. Maybe the white people were still eating raw meat according to these authors. But in all seriousness they mostly think white people were eating the richer cuts of meat and cured meats but not cooking whole animals. In their opinion BBQ was only done once or twice a year at big events...

    What do you guys think of these articles are on the origin of BBQ/low and slow meat smoking?

    They take issue with the idea that African Americans supposedly invented all of southern BBQ but it is white pit masters who made the most money off it with successful restaurants like Franklins.

    What do you guys think of these articles are on the origin of BBQ/low and slow meat smoking?

    True. I'm mean technically the first people to likely discover that cooking bad cuts of meat low and slow tasted good were Africans. But it was probably 200,000 years ago not 200.

    Sometimes I think real life is an article straight out of The Onion

    What do you guys think of these articles are on the origin of BBQ/low and slow meat smoking?

    Agree. The narrative is that in Europe they only smoked cured meat and it was only till slaves taught colonists how to cook low and slow that smoking was done to make meat tender. But I imagine those smoldering fires over holes in the ground and smokehouses with low n' slow probably existed in...

    What do you guys think of these articles are on the origin of BBQ/low and slow meat smoking?

    But this narrative has gotten mainstream. I had "friends" (blocked now) on facebook accuse me of cultural appropriation when I posted a picture of a brisket I smoked. That's a stupid concept to begin with but even worse when it likely isn't true. I think its an assumption that the earliest...

    What do you guys think of these articles are on the origin of BBQ/low and slow meat smoking?

    Isn't credit usually given to native Americans though? The word itself is a Taino Indian word. And I'm confused about the cheaper cuts of meat part. Wouldn't that be associated with African American and Caribbean foods like Cowfoot soup, goat head, tripe, pig feet souse and pickled hens feet...

    What do you guys think of these articles are on the origin of BBQ/low and slow meat smoking?

    There seems to be a slew of articles ( https://www.texasmonthly.com/bbq/how-southern-barbecue-got-to-texas/ , https://www.theguardian.com/comment...-tradition-enslaved-africans-native-americans ) going around claiming that European descended Americans never BBQed/low and slow smoked meats before...

    I was watching a documentary on Basque cuisine. They mention that this breed of cow is allowed to graze till they are eight- twelve years old or so and after they have fulfilled their job as dairy cows. This leads to extreme marbling and intense beefy flavor. Anybody ever smoke this breed...
