Dung cooking fire. Pushkar India.

To celebrate July 4, the Guardian published an article to tell the people of America that one of their favorite ways of cooking, barbecue, was stolen from enslaved Africans and Native Americans.
The article is titled, "Barbecue is an American tradition – of enslaved Africans and Native Americans" and was written by Michael Twitty, who calls himself a culinary historian.
"The traditional holiday cookout has its roots in the cooperation between black and indigenous peoples struggling to get or keep their freedom from colonialists," Twitty's secondary headline reads.
"If America is about people creating new worlds based on rebellion against oppression and slavery," he writes, "then barbecue is the ideal dish: it was made by enslaved Africans with inspiration and contributions from Native Americans struggling to maintain their independence."
However, according to Twitty, Europeans took the credit from Africans: "The common cultural narrative of barbecue, however, exclusively assigns its origins to Native Americans and Europeans... Some American barbecue masters have taken to attributing the innovation of barbecue to their German and Czech ancestors."
The truth is, however, "Enslaved Africans and Native Americans had a lot in common, culinarily-speaking: they had been cooking and eating in similar ways. despite [sic] an ocean between their civilizations. It only makes sense that, when their foodways, crops, cooking methods and systems of preservation, hunting, fishing and food storage collided, that there would be deep similarities and convergences of technique, method and skill."
That led to barbecue. And in the Americans, "enslaved men became barbecue’s master chefs." If indeed whites added anything to barbecue, they just "added to a base created by black hands forged in the crucible of slavery."
Twitty concludes, "Barbecue is laced with the aspiration of freedom, but it was seasoned and flavored by the people who could not enjoy any freedom on Independence Day for almost a century."
I think fricans often used, and maybe still to this day use, animal dung as their ‘charcoal’.
“{How about Whites publish articles saying that other races “stole” things...”
Lest we forget we have algore to thank for things like this forum that depends on the internet! :)
Nobody “stole” anything.
That’s like saying Native Americans stole blackened swordfish.

Jesus did bar-b-q fish for the Apostles some time after He arose. I’m sure those fisherman were already accustomed to shore lunches too.
PUHLEEEZE!
I’ll try and make reparations by sacrificing a couple chicken thighs and a rack ribs on my evil gas spewing BBQ grill.. :-)
ST LOUIE RIBS. CORN, CHICKEN , KIELBASA.. BON APPETIT!!
The word itself comes from barbacoa, meaning an iron grate that pirates and other Caribbean people used to cook meat. Barbeques were popular with all races since the beginning of the country. George Washington wrote in his diary about going to a neighbors BBQ with lasted 3 days.
The notion that anyone “owns” the idea of slowly cooking meat with fire is a bit absurd.
Also, the white man stole the idea of fertilizing food crops from the American Indians. Oh, and also stole corn, beans, pumpkins, tobacco, chocolate and coffee too! Those bastards!
Still, were just white MEN responsible for all of this reprehensible thievery, or were some of the white WOMEN culpable as well? Or MAYBE the white women where the good guys (guyettes?) and tried to STOP the white men from such egregious stealing. Nope, sorry to say, I bet the white women were just as eeeeviiiiil as the white man.
I thought toilet paper was invented in China during the Dung Dynasty.
Anyway, and I am not making this up, the PC notion of “stolen cuisine” has turned into violence on college campuses dominated by the Muslim Students Association. Jewish-looking students have been assaulted by muzzies because they were seen eating pita, hummus, & falafel.
“Those are Arab foods! You can’t eat them!!” the muzzies scream as they attack. Not just during Ramadan, either.
Dung cooking fire. Pushkar India.
The core purpose of this author and all others like him is to keep people poor and stupid.
A white man invented basketball - so Charles Barkley owes us, big time.
Africans get too much credit for things they "created" besides perhaps canabalizing,and raping, and cutting off female genetalia and setting people on fire with tires around their necks...
There’s absolutely nothing any white person ever did that was good. Anywhere. Ever. Got it?
Haha, yeh, NO ONE cooked over fire before Africans. And heck no, we’re not ‘giving it back’ — until you give back: clothes, hahah.
The Dung Dynasty?
Is that when they invented the Pu Pu Platter?
Mongolians might disagree............
