There’s Nothing Like A Good Barbecue! May Is ‘National BBQ Month’ So Here Are Some Recipes To Try, ASAP!!!
May is ‘National Barbecue Month’ and while that might seem to pertain, solely, to pulled pork, it’s actually a much wider definition. Here are some ways that BBQ can be defined:
-Roasting or broiling on a rack or revolving spit over or before a source of heat (such as hot coals)
-A social gathering, usually held outdoors, at which food is cooked over an open flame.
-Cooking in a highly seasoned vinegar sauce
-Meat or seafood cooked in or served with barbecue sauce
One reason people love eating outdoors is sharing with other people. Grilling food outdoors brings family and friends together for fun and eating. According to a study done by the HPBA, 64% of adults agree that a barbecue is a better way to spend quality-time with their friends or relatives. In addition, 81% of the same study group claims that some elements of cooking outdoors are even easier than cooking indoors. A final reason Americans like to grill their food outdoors is the cost. The HPBA study found 71% of Americans prefer cooking outdoors over dining out at a restaurant to save money. In conclusion, the study established that Americans find grilling outdoors a convenient method to cook, a great way to celebrate with other people, and a chance to save money.
