Why is BBQ called BBQ?

The name of the barbecue is because the barbecue tool is called a barbecue. The barbecue refers to an iron plate made of iron bars. After heating, it can be used for barbecue, and the excess fat of the barbecued meat can drip through the gaps. The firewood used for barbecue is mainly pine wood or fruit wood with a fragrant smell. The meat for barbecue is traditionally beef and mutton.

Barbecue originated from the Mongolian people in the north. As the Manchus came to rule the Central Plains during the Qing Dynasty, the barbecue technique was brought to Beijing. Barbecue was formed in the 25th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty.

In Beijing, barbecue is divided into "civilized eating" and "martial eating". Civilized eating means that the meat is prepared by the chef in the kitchen, and the eating is more elegant. Martial eating means that everyone stands around the barbecue and takes the marinated meat to be grilled on the barbecue, and the posture of eating meat is also more unrestrained.

There are two types of dipping sauces: dry and wet. The dry ones are usually cumin, fennel, chili and sesame, while the wet ones are sesame oil and vinegar.
