[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you mean your cook-out?  At a barbecue, one serves barbecue (ie, slow cooked, smoked meat). If you're looking for a good non-burger cookout item, I suggest nice grilled sausages served with saltines and cheddar slices, shrimp and chicken kabobs (peppers, red onions, tomatoes, meat), and soy and teriyaki marinated beef skewers (like satay).

Were you trying to start a north-versus-south flame war, or are you sincerely unaware that the overwhelming majority of the United States uses "barbecue" in the same way as OP?[/quote]

I'm aware, just trying to correct the majority who use the term 'barbecue' incorrectly ... in an etymological sense.

You can't "correct the majority" about the use of a term because the majority is correct by definition about usage, regardless of a word's etymology.

I cannot freaking believe that even a question about recipe ideas has to turn into a snarky, one-upmanship, know-it-all debate. You people are unbelievable. It's really kind of funny. It seems that every dcum thread longer than 2 pages just devolves into a debate about something trivial. Must be all the DC lawyers and lobbyists.
