I remember getting abused on a newsgroup once apon a time by a Texan
gent... he maintained that they had the moral copyright on the word
BBQ/barbeque/bar-b-whatever ;) He said something to the effect that BBQ
was the result, not the method, and that real BBQ was produced by cooking
the relevant dead animal bits at a certain temperature over a certain wood
in a vessel analogous to what we know in Oz as a kettle barbie ( a la
Weber). The aforementioned meat having been marinated just so and lovingly
basted throughout the process to a recipe known only to Texans. ;)
It was probably a cruel thing to do to a compulsive obsessive but I seem to
remember replying with a single word: wanker ;)
(For those not familiar with the finer points of Australian culture, the
term "wanker" in this context may be taken to mean someone who takes
themselves perhaps a little too seriously) ;)
Cheers, Andrew
