Etymology[edit]

The last part needs verification that it’s not just nonsense and a citation if it’s not just nonsense. 2601:87:C480:10:F5AC:F479:BA89:D045 (talk) 17:47, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed this because it looks a lot like false etymology. Dictionaries are pretty much agreed that the word barbecue comes from a Caribbean/Native American origin. Not sure how this crept in, but the article is better off without it unless there is a very good source.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 18:53, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why just "Southern U.S.," in the text below?[edit]

"American English usage in the Southern US, grilling refers to a fast process over high heat while barbecuing usually refers to a slow process using indirect heat or hot smoke, similar to some forms of roasting."

These usages are well-established throughout the nation.

Agreed.

Fixed. –CWenger (^ • @) 01:03, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
