TIL barbecue can be spelled with a Q
As someone who grew up in an area and family with a strong bbq culture, im surprised it can be spelled with a 'c' lmao
That just looks wrong imo
Off topic but barbecue comes from Spanish 'barbacoa' which comes from Taíno language used in Caribbean. Natives there were eating grilled meat with spices. The Spanish took this recipe back to the old continent and it spread.
The common American abbreviation is BBQ.
I thought the Q was because of the pronunciation (barbe-queue)
Sometimes I hear Bs as Rs.
You'll have a very hard time with Barbara's Rhubarb Bar then. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HmGbx_oRTI
