After many years off research I have tracked down the origins of BBQ. This will answer a lot of questions you may have in the back of your mind.

Well that's one version of it. Laughing But I do like your version Tom. Seems there are as many versions of the origin as there is variations of BBQ.



http://inventors.about.com/od/inventionsalphabet/a/barbecue.htm

"Barbecue was not invented in America and no one knows who invented the barbecue. The word 'Barbecue' might come from the Taino Indian word 'barbacoa' meaning meat-smoking apparatus. 'Barbecue' could have also originated from the French word "Barbe a queue" which means "whiskers-to-tail." No one is sure of the correct origins of the word"

http://bbq.about.com/od/barbecuehelp/a/aa110197.htm

"Before you start brawling, remember that Barbecue is a social event and though you might not agree with the process, the food is always good. So my goal in this series of features will be to examine Barbecue in all its forms from the perspective of each individual history"

http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CLASS/MA95/dove/history.htm


"the word "barbecue" comes from a nineteenth century advertisement for a combination whiskey bar, beer hall, pool establishment and purveyor of roast pig, known as the BAR-BEER-CUE-PIG "

I like your version Tom, but the burning question is what kind of beer did Capt. Smith bring to the "Corner" of the teepee? Razz

It was a classic Virginia Ale named for the room it was stored in. They kept it in the Rock (spelled Roche then) Fort suite 10. Some monks visiting from Belgium took a case home and the rest is history.
