The Many Ingredients of Barbecue 🗞️ My #HistoricallySpeaking for The Wall Street Journal ➡️ (Part 2 of 3) #linkinbio European basting techniques also played a role. The most popular recipes for barbecue sauce reflect historic patterns of immigration to the U.S.: British colonists used a simple concoction of vinegar and spices, French émigrés insisted on butter, and German settlers preferred their native mustard. In the American West, two New World ingredients, tomatoes and molasses, formed the basis of many sauces. The type of meat became another regional difference: pork was more plentiful in the South, beef in the West. Although labor-intensive, a barbecued whole hog can feed up to 150 people, making it the ideal food for communal gatherings. In 1793, President George Washington celebrated the laying of the cornerstone for the Capitol building with an enormous barbecue featuring a 500-pound ox. In the South before the Civil War, a barbecue meant a hog cooked by slaves. The choicest cuts from the pig’s back went to the grandees, hence the phrase “living high on the hog.” Emancipation brought about a culinary reckoning; Southern whites wanting a barbecue had to turn to cookbooks, such as “Mrs Hill’s New Cook Book,” published in 1867 for “inexperienced Southern housekeepers…in this peculiar crisis of our domestic as well as national affairs.” #history #Historynerd #historylover #historybuff #historian #bbq #barbecue #cooking #tradition #BBQJoint #flame #fire #smoke #barbacoa #meat #grilling https://lnkd.in/eypkixiZ Photo: A 1562 illustration shows Timucua Indians roasting animals on a raised wooden platform, the original form of barbecuing.

How long can the wine last in the bottle, Sulo? Well, it depends very much on the wine, actually. Some are made to drink young, and others need time to mature. The world's oldest bottle of wine? Currently its this one aged nearly 1,700 years old! Known as the Speyer Wine Bottle, this bottle was excavated at a Roman couple's tomb near the city of Speyer in 1867. A few bottles was discovered, but only one contained liquid. Dating efforts has determined the bottle to be circa 325 CE, probably a blend of local grapes, herbs, and olive oil - although it has since transformed into a dark, resin-like mass and cloudy liquid. How did this liquid keep, while others has long evaporated? It’s all thanks to the wax seal and the large amount of olive oil, which helped further seal the liquid off from air. You can witness the Speyer Wine Bottle live and in person at the Historical Museum of the Palatinate (Historische Museum der Pfalz) in Speyer even today! Image by Carole Raddato/CC By-SA 2.0

SOUTH AFRICAN BRAAI: WHAT IT IS & WHY YOU SHOULD TRY IT What is a Braai Exactly? To put it simply, a braai is the South African equivalent of an American barbecue. A common (and very frequent) practice in any South African household, a braai is a fundamental part of South African culture and is a gathering of friends and family around a wood-fire grill in celebration. Even through South Africa’s turbulent past, braaing is a tradition that continues to tie the nation together. It is one of the few things that are not specific to one cultural or ethnic group in South Africa–everyone braais. (There are 4 ethnic groups and 11 different languages in South Africa.) For South Africans, the simple act of cooking food over a fire is something that everyone feels connected to—no matter who they are and what language they speak. It’s a social gathering where friends are always welcomed as family. Compared to the American BBQ that you are used to, South Africans take the gathering/cooking at a much slower pace. A braai is a special “meat-fest” that can often last for hours on end. Also, a traditional braai is cooked over local hardwood, like kameeldoring wood, which gives the meat and other sides a distinct flavor. Apple wood is another wood species that is good for braaing and is more available in the U.S. One important point to note is that a braai will never be cooked on a gas grill. Traditionally, the grill itself will be an open grill that has a diamond-patterned metal grill grate (aka grid) or regular grill grates and a large, flat fire pit. (Like these Kudu grills.) If you don’t have a braai-specific grill or plan on getting one, you’ll need at least a kettle grill or fire pit that can accommodate a wood fire, like a Weber Grill, Big Green Egg, or Char-Broil charcoal grill.
