The Great Debate: BBQ vs Grilling

[Jerod Broussard]

Growing up in Southwest Louisiana we barbecued a lot and NEVER smoked anything. Charcoal and meat.

And like many other places all soda drinks were referred to as a Coke or a Pop. What kind of Coke do you want? Just give me a root beer.

Soda, don't forget soda, or is the soda pop

bbqLuv soda is not a term we used growing up in the south. It's another one of those regional things. I don't think we even called it pop back in the 70's when I was a kid - mostly just "a coke". More rarely root beer or Sprite would be offerings.

I only heard "soda" or "pop" from my cousins up in Michigan.

So what if you put BBQ sauce on grilled chicken?

You have a hybrid or is it a hybird. 🤔

I went to a BBQ party to remines with my old friends

[Steve B]

Thought it was a garden party 😁

A grilled cheese sandwich is made on a griddle. Does that make it a griddled cheese sandwich?

BTW, beans are not allowed in a grilled or griddled cheese sandwich. No Beans!

[Steve B]

Ahh, but it can also be made in a frying pan. Then what would it be called?🤔

But, but what about grilled cheese in Mexico. Rice and beans might be the norm. 🤷🏼

[bbqLuv]

Steve B a fry-pan Cheese sandwich, no?
Rice and beans on the side for Tex-Mex style, I guess

[Steve B]

I used to make my grilled cheese in a pan for years. That is until I got a griddle. 😁

If someone says they are bbq'ing I assume they are grilling. If they say they are bbq'ing, then tell me about their rub, brine, wood, cooker or cookers then I know that they are my people!!

Where I live, if someone is having hotdogs, burgers etc. they call it a cook-out. BBQ'ing is rarely used as a term and is referenced to the food, like ribs, chicken, pork butts. My wife is from Michigan and her family and friends say "having a barbecue". It caught me off guard when I first heard it in 2010 but I caught on to the lingo quickly. They also say "pop" in reference to soda. That one caught me off guard too lol.
