Wow. I had no idea. That's how the phrase PITMASTER started. I'm usually not shocked by the knowledge put forth in these videos but 2day I was slightly astonished. Thank you for the knowledge
Thank you for telling us all about Mary John (Marie Jeanne) until I watched this video I had never heard of her and her greatness. I was truely amazed at all that she was able to accomplish especially during that time.
I figured as much that Black Americans invented it but they always say otherwise. As a matter of fact i wouldnt be suprised if Black Indigenous people were already smoking meat like this BEFORE the spanish and Europeans ever set foot on this Land WE WERE ALREADY HERE!!!
Finally, someone in these comments was smart enough to figure it out.... BARBECUE IS A NATIVE AMERICAN WORD FROM THE BLACK INDIANS KNOWN AS THE COPPER COLOR INDIANS OF AMERICA..
It is indigenous to the americas so called blacks as well as so many other foods we been cooking way before slavery I also learned during a research how a lot of people think we have ghetto names most is native to this land for example Kesha is a tribal name
@@ChaseBankz-j3q you better get it chase, you better let them have it with yo research.... Hattie Mattie I keep seeing these names on the Indian rolls and they seem to be popular names among our people..
True true, you cannot have the ( red) or ( brown ) Indians, without the original black Indians 1st that's who , those others Indians originated from ...but both so called Indians & blacks , not all blacks are the children of Israel, the 12 tribes....GODs chosen people...
My late Granddaddy cooked his Hogs this way in country (GA) when I was younger, then moved to South Florida didn't see much of it and tried to explain to my friends how I was used to BBQ they would be like girl please.
When cooking show's talk about barbecue they very often leave out the black history and contributions of black pit masters you rarely hear any host say anything about it.
There's no question, no doubt, this is the trend throughout history. Black people innovating and creating, and colonizers swooping in, stealing, and taking all the credit. I struggle to find things that wahyte people actually, genuinely created.

Good interesting video. When you go to a BBQ restaurant and see a black guy at the pit you can bet your bottom dollar it's going to be good. They're the best.
Thank you for your work on this!! As a black man in Dallas and have grown up with Mexicans around me my whole life. I learned that Mexico abolyish slavery as soon as they won their independence. The real fight for Texas was for slavery. We hear a lot about border crossing, but borders are not real and man made. We're better together! We're all God's children
I live in Atlanta GA. And I have personally learned how good soul food is. Brunswick stew for example, basically a trash stew made amazing. Pig ear, not my style, but flavourful. And then the other influencers into it? Man, they turned random crap into something quite nummy nummy. Sad it took such darkness to provide something so good.
Theres a barbeque,north carolina and a multigenerational black woman owned bbq place in oakland california. They found out their family is from there. Theres a documentary on youtube. Everett & Jones
I always assumed that barbecue already existed in the southern US; didn't realize the Spanish brought the technique up from the Caribbean. Also, those historical images show fish being barbecued. One of those images also showed a snake on the grill. Cause of that, I'm going to see if anyone is doing barbecued or slow cooked fish.
I can taste the difference in the bbq, if a person cooks it with skill and soul, it is wonderful. If it isnt it may be ok if your hungry. But it isnt the same.. no one ever pass ever pass there Recipe around.
I agree with some of what is now known as American BBQ, but this style of cooking (what we term as direct heat), only represents 25% of American BBQ, and is regionally limited from Tennessee, Eastward to the Carolinas. Offset pit smokers (Indirect Heat), known as Texas style BBQ, is much more prevalent throughout the US, either in outdoor wood fire only offset pit smokers to rotisserie style, gas assisted smokers you see inside many US based BBQ restaurants.. I am hoping to visit Mrs Rosie's R&s bbq tompkinsville ky later this month to sample her 3rd generation, world famous pork shoulder, cooked over direct heat.
Desoto!! Desoto parish Louisiana we still cook with a certain type of wood 🪵 that you can’t anywhere else!!! It’s the flavor! Hernandez Desoto!! We showed him ! Civil War battle of Mansfield!! Original stone and brick built in the ground from civil war that’s next to civil war hospital still standing to this day!!
One thing for sure, white people didn't have anything to do with bbq but they have become rich off this method of cooking....but black pit masters will always be the BEST! Just look at the bbq industry today...big fancy pits, bbq cook-offs, bbq restaurants, Memphis has a long list of good bbq restaurants..i love to bbq and so do my 4 sons....

Thank you, We are the indigenous Indian’s, we are the first to live on this land. Why would the “Indian” leave Asia & Siberia when we were right next door. We are the original Indians, the Olmec heads are African. Yt people have stolen EVERYTHING from us.

Read the Bible. Sweet smelling aroma of Lamb being smoked and sacrificed to God. Noah even smoked a sacrifice to God when he stepped off the ark. Now, what is more modern is the method, such as charcoal and propane gas.
People have cooked meat over coals since fire was discovered. Europeans, and English especially cooked pigs over wood coals. What we call bbq started in the lower areas of the Carolinas, whole hog and vinegar sauce. It has evolved regionally through time of course. Who do you think taught slaves their methods.. People forget Europeans had been smoking meat and whole animal cooking since very early times. Of course the slaves cooked, that was part of their role in those times. It is was it is, it isn't fun to have smoke in your eyes all night. Cultures always learn amongst each other, but claiming this is preposterous. Yes, both black and white people still cook bbq, but history needs to be understood, not basterdized.
@@Sam-mu5xh I figured one of you would do this. Where in European history did they cook BBQ? Not England... English food is historically bad. Suspected white supremacists have a very difficult time giving Black people credit for being the creators of modern music and a large chunk of American culture. Cooking over fire is NOT BBQ. BBQ as we know it today was created by enslaved Africans.
BBQ goes back much farther than 1540.... Think of the finest herbs, spices and livestock being sacrificed to the alter well over 2000 yrs ago, which is well documented.... 😉😉😉🥴🥴🥴
Our people been doing this since Yahuah directed us to make sacrifices in biblical times past. Leviticus let us know The Most High loves a good bar b que. He is a true brutha✊🏾😏
I was trying hard to finish watching this video... You have our story wrong... You need to get the facts right about who is who... I can't listen to stories that you got from others who don't know the truth.
Blessings our people just don't read the Bible and most don't understand the Israelites are so called black people we've been roasting and barbecuing on Open Fire we just got to get into the Bible understand our history our true history

One thing about the colonizers, they took everything and contributed nothing. Channels like these and books on our history are important. Thank ya'll.
You're wrong! They contributed their unadulterated EVIL!
Nope you're wrong! They contributed their unadulterated pure EVIL upon us!
What an insanely ignorant thing to say. Bitterness will always lead you to a twisted understanding of history

Not true there were territory boundaries that were respected by the aboriginal people...the European territorial boundaries are about economics
Tell that to the drug cartels and the human traffickers...
We've always knew how to survive. Thats why we know how to cook. Its in our blood.😊

Eating meat is a Black tradition, it is cultural. Do you hear me vegans/vegetarians? Lol.
Keeping Animals are expensive so its a real treat not a normalcy on the plate
