Barbecue, often abbreviated as BBQ, has a rich and diverse origin that spans different cultures and regions around the world. The word "barbecue" itself comes from the Taíno language of the Caribbean and was later adopted by Spanish explorers. However, the cooking technique of slow-cooking meat over an open flame or in a pit has ancient roots.
So, barbecue as we know it today is a culmination of ancient cooking techniques, indigenous practices, colonial encounters, and regional innovations that have evolved over centuries into a beloved culinary tradition enjoyed by many cultures.

In South Africa, barbecue is commonly referred to as "braai."
