History & Significance of Barbeque Day-

Everything you do when cooking a barbequed meal modifies the flavour with its woody-smokey taste. The roots of barbeque seem to be in the indigenous Haitians encountered by the Spanish when Columbus first arrived. And that time, they discovered them cooking meat on wooden sticks and fire, flavoured by the smoke and heat, and took the process back home. Now the barbeque process has spread all over the world and is also used to prepare all sorts of stuff, from every type of meat to fruits and vegetables. And hence it is said that anything is possible with Barbeque Day.
