‘Barbeque’ style cooking involves slow roasting meats over low heat, sometimes over many hours – and there are a variety of spices and techniques used – many competing styles used in the US.

People still refer to ‘having a Barbeque’ – or BBQ for the event of simply grilling meat because the term ‘Barbeque Grill’ is used generically for the Grill that you cook on.

You can cook in the Barbeque style on most any covered Grill – but most people simply grill a steak or burger or hot dog, and say they had a BBQ.

I had the great pleasure to do this with close Russian friends and partners on the banks of the Volga in Yaroslavl in maybe 1994…

One of the happiest memories of my life…it rained and my $2,000 Italian suit was ruined before we huddled back into the Van…

I still remember the 1 gallon glass jar our Host’s wife had prepared and marinated for the Pork in for our feast…

Of course the Vodka was flowing…just as we do in the States for a BBQ.

I never made it to Nizshny – but I would probably have been arrested for taking notice of Marina at that time…

My point of all this is simply that I have been touched here in ways I had never thought possible, and I know that many others feel the same way…

It goes way beyond some word origins – if that strikes a chord somewhere…
