barbecue or barbeque [n. or v.  BAR-be-kyoo]

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------


In the late 1600s, Americans adopted this word from the Spanish, who
in turn, had borrowed it from the Taino people of the West Indies.
The Taino used barbacoa to describe wood platforms supported by
stakes in the ground, which were used for grilling meat.
Barbacoa were also wooden grids used for beds but this meaning
has been lost over the years.

Today barbecue, which can also be spelled barbeque, has many
meanings.  The noun can describe the pieces of food roasted over
open flame.  It can also describe the grill, spit, or fireplace
used to cook meat or vegetables.  By the mid-1700s, barbecue had
also come to mean a social entertainment, usually held outdoors,
where food is cooked on a barbecue.

The verb form of barbecue is to broil or roast meat or vegetables
over an open fire.
