Why Black Folks LOVE Barbecue

[@dannydee9919]

I'm Mexican and I love black bbq, like I legit fall in a food coma every time I eat black bbq because I cannot stop. As a matter of fact, im going to excuse myself and go buy me a plate.

[@Foxie444]

I’m black and I absolutely love barbecue & soul food. However, Mexican food is also a favorite. I always joke and say that I believe I was Mexican in one of my past lives!! 🤦🏾‍♀️💕💕 It just makes sense!! 🤣

[@krono5el]

the first people to be called negritos were the Indigenous Americans, they were the slaves those first 300 years before any other person was brought to the Americas as slaves. Native Americans were the only people on earth that knew how to grow Maize, Chilis, Rubber, and Sugar back then. so the first "blacks" were the natives.

[@mustafahajj]

Nothing wrong with that. I enjoy Mexican cuisine particularly (Tex Mex), my goodness!

[@lroyjetsonson5060]

@krono5el That is a bold faced lie. Black Spanish and Portuguese Jews were it's well documented and they were the first slaves of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade sent to San Toma, and Cape Verde Islands off of West Africa in 1452 50 years before Columbus. Documented. That's why he brought a Black Jewish slave as his interpreter on his maiden voyage.

As a black man. I can genuinely say everybody loves barbecuing. Also fun fact : watermelon had a high yield per plot as well as vital hydration And fried chicken not only killed bacteria that would make you sick it also held up longer so it was able to be eaten for a longer amount of time while in the field

[@melaninsupergurl-vu4uv]

Fried chicken was the luxury food of house slaves that they were allowed to eat . Watermelon was planted by overseers direction between rows of cotton to prevent slaves from running off to a well or bucket to drink water ... They pointed with a whip at the watermelon and said "There is your water!" All primitive Hunter gatherers small pen herders cooked over open fire and spices keep meat longer in tropical heat....

[@buddyraw9778]

Before even watching this video, I must say that growing up.....Barbecuing is what the family did on the regular. The aroma of it all, we had to have the music going lol (never had a quiet BBQ😊), grandad, dad, and uncles rotating each time with being the grill masters with us kids running around enjoying life. It was always the ladies of the family inside preparing the sides, cakes, pies, and other main courses that went with the main course of the meats. Thinking about those times make me wanna cry because those were beautiful times as most of everyone I mentioned has passed on but I smile as well in enjoyment of the memories. I saw this video on my timeline and I thought I'd share what weight heavy on my heart in regards to the topic as those thoughts came rushing once I saw the title.

As a result, when they came across the Taino technique, it was familiar but the concept of fire cooking the meat over grates was new. So they took the idea of grates, then incorporated pit smoking/cooking techniques from home to create what we know now to be BBQ. It is important to acknowledge inspiration. I agree, they did not get BBQ technique from Tainos but used Taino tools to optimize the African process.

The recipe for "Gang Sauce" is interesting. You don't usually hear about using plums in bbq sauce, but it makes sense.

The word barbeque came from the Spanish word barbecoa. That being said is the first race to bring barbeque to America. Spainards were here before white or black and spainards brought all cattle, sheep,goats, hogs, pigs and chickens to America they even brought watermelon seeds? So if you bring all those animals from Spain to America don't you think they knew how to barbecoa = barbecue? The first cowboys were also the spainards teaching to Mexicans how to ride.

[@lroyjetsonson5060]

Africans have been Barbecuing for centuries before Europeans, so no, he doesn't know history. We lived hundreds of miles from the Caribbean, and Tainos were almost exterminated hiding in the mountains of their islands, so they didn't teach Barbecue to the people in the 13 Colonies. Plus the average slave in the Caribbean only lived on average 5 years. That's why Caribbean culture is so Africanized to this day. If they were dying so fast, how did all the population of New Slaves get taught by the Tainos who were hiding in the mountains🤔

[@jerzydevoos5413]

@@lroyjetsonson5060While i dont doubt that there is Taíno influence on modern day bbqn, America is undoubtably responsible for it… Clearly they werent the only group in the Americas to cook that way. The southern method wasn’t the same as the method of the Taino’s, and neither were the the ingredients used in the tradition so it had to have come from other cultures as well. “barbe-a-queue” “babbake”

[@lroyjetsonson5060]

@jerzydevoos5413 I highly doubt it. Because most of all, the so-called descendants who come here. Haven't seen of our techniques until they come here. That's the beauty of the internet, we can explore vlogs, docs, and KZbin videos of people who encounter new cultures for the first time. Another thing is that they also have ancestry DNA test videos and breakdowns now, so I know for a fact that MOST OF THESE PEOPLE CLAIMING TIANO ANCESTRY have little to no Tiano ancestry and their AFRICAN ANCESTRY is what is giving them the little melinated tinge to their mostly European ancestry. So you don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to deduct that their AFRICAN ANCESTRY is most responsible for their similar cooking and Grilling techniques. Giving their affinity for Beans and Rice all the time. Even paella comes from the Moors from Senegal, Rice isn't indigenous to Europe and isn't present in any other European classical dishes.

So, they made up the whole African story. it's true, but not as big as they make it sound cause most slaves went tot he Caribbean, and latin America, only around 300,000 came here The rest were here already, but slavery ,and natives selling us out, forced both Africans, and Native blacks to unite under Negro or African. The trick worked until now cause we know this country is built on our backs, and we lay our claim, then we need reparations. If we just focus on our African side NOTHING but dreams will happen cause we are a new people

Barbecue is the oldest way of cooking food, to say a certain region started it is like saying Caribbean’s were the first to breathe

@tyronew4394 Even in the Old Testament of the Bible. To be honest, most of the Tribes in West Africa can be traced back to the Biblical Hebrews or Cananites. Even White Jewish Scholars had to publicly admit that. Anyone can look it up. American Blacks didn't even use the same techniques as the South American and Caribbean Natives even when we only had the same materials to build with.

@jeffereyfapenstein4796 You're thinking about grilling, which is a technically different thing altogether. But you're not completely wrong because several places were doing it worldwide that never came to the America's at all.

I am Irish , our family is from rural Ky. & we like bbq also , my srupid white folk ancestors thought eating high on the hog( the supposed better cuts were best) until they figured out the cheap cuts they gave to slaves were better when smoked/grilled properly, they don't like us either( rich plantatation slave owners) they call us cockroaches. But black folks grew up eting the cheap cuts which are better & so did we, & us siblings were the workers & why most of our families had 12 or more children

I really appreciate your history of barbecue. I study much history of many different foods, and I totally agree with you on the history of Bbq. It is hugely appreciated for many white people, and I try to follow the tradition. Having had many people employed in my business over the last 38 years that are African-American. I’ve come to learn a lot, more than I could possibly ever learn from a simple video. Not seeing your video is simple, but is that tradition needs to be preserved and the history of all cooking of all cultures should be preserved. I’m going to give you a recommendation of a book called. I hear America is cooking, which is an amazing book but I’m also going to say to you. Thank you for your contribution to culinary arts, skills and history, which I love to preserve

[@4evermistyblu]

I love my people, my ancestors so much!!! Our ancestors endured a living hell, but yet made due with what they had. We are so damn Dope!!!

[@Asianconda]

Smoked pork belly is the best. Try it with sticky rice and my spicy dipping sauce and you'll never go back to regular BBQ. Guaranteed 😅

[@Jarod-te2bi]

I’d love to go to a black barbeque Sunday ❤.

Hey One Mic History, those "Native Americans" were really "Black" American Indians. Hernando DeSoto described them as "looking like Ethiopians but a different people". The people called Native Americans today are NOT the American Indians who first had contact with the Colonizers. Check out DeSoto's books/journals as well as what other historical figures of the time said about the people they first met. I wish you all the best, take care!

Not black Indians, indigenous coppered colored indians. Big difference.

[@cocoteeeie]

Meaning they look ethnic, not necessarily that they were black.
