That's not how the word is used in Texas. I'm gonna trust my life lived in Texas over a British dictionary.

[-]

VelociTopher@reddit

Ignoring the authority on the English language for over 1k years cuz "iM fRuM tExUs" is peak Texan. 😂😂

[-]

To be fair, English and American English are different dialects. We have vert different usage for certain common words (e.g., trolley vs grocery cart, cookie vs biscuit, gherkin vs pickle, etc.). For that reason, it makes complete sense to ignore their definition of barbecue lol.

VelociTopher@reddit

Except that the Oxford Dictionary covers both dialects...

Go back to Cali.

[-]

Outrageous_Log_906@reddit

California native here, and I resent this. More so you saying “Cali” instead of “California”, than you assuming he’s from California.

[-]

VelociTopher@reddit

😂 Not from Cali.

The Brits pronounce fajitas: fa-g-eye-tas (rhymes with vagina). You could not pay me to eat British bbq

[-]

Historical_Dentonian@reddit

Waited tables in London. Yes they do

[-]

VelociTopher@reddit

They really don't... You should travel more.

[-]

leostotch@reddit

Usage determines meaning, not the other way around.

[-]

VelociTopher@reddit

And this guy is using grill/bbq interchangeably, like most of the US. Idk how he's wrong based on some localized use. Can't just let the dude cook his meat?

I have lived in Texas my whole life as well. I know bbq is a certain food, but I’ve also been invited to a “barbecue” and it’s just people grilling outside. Burgers, hot dogs, chips, potato salad ect. I’m pretty sure that’s common vernacular around here. Or at least I’m not gonna be the guy who goes “erm actually there isn’t any barbecue here 🤓”

There are other cultures here in Dallas. Some call it Carne Asada, some call it BBQ, some call it grilling, and others cooking out. It technically is a bbq grill.

[-]

Elguapo69@reddit

I agree with you that this is a very common mistake people make that annoys me. Grilling is high heat short times, bbq is low heat long times.

That said you can bbq in a setup like this and I don’t see evidence this is grilling. No char marks on the top side and zooming in I don’t see evidence of a flame or even hot coals.

[-]

Cold_Coffee_504@reddit

That's too much investigating, IMO, he just put it on the grill

[-]

Elguapo69@reddit

But is he barbecuing on a grill? 🤔😀

[-]

Cold_Coffee_504@reddit

Nope, he's grilling, you don't cook fajita meat low and slow. Fajitas should be off the grill in 5 to 6 minutes. You don't cook Fajitas low and slow

BestServeCold@reddit

I smoke skirt steak all the time, I’m not supposed to? Lol

[-]

Historical_Dentonian@reddit

You can, you can also microwave and boil it too.

[-]

8020GroundBeef@reddit

It’s not a typical way to cook skirt at all. Typically want to cook it on high heat quickly and then cut thin strips against the grain. Same for flank.

But you can basically smoke anything, so whatever you like doing. For me, it’s a matter of time/fuel investment vs payoff and most steaks just don’t get THAT much better with smoke / low heat.

[-]

Jin1231@reddit

You can,it’s just a cut that thin is going to be cooked through before the fat will capture much smoke anyway. You’ll get more overall flavor from quickly scorching it instead.

[-]

BitGladius@reddit

It looks like there are coals under the meat, although they aren't very white.

[-]

Spear302@reddit (OP)

I had just started, look at the onion slices they are still white asf🤣

[-]

Psychedelic-Dreams@reddit

Yes it is, not all bbq is grilling. I’ll get downvoted, I know but you guys give everyone a bad name cause of its. It’s similar you guys saying everyone who drive a pickup truck has a big dick. GTFO, no it don’t. Again I’ll get downvoted but fuck all ya bbq gate keeping ass Karen’s.

Lol, BBQ is low and slow, grilling is high heat and quick. The only time you call this BBQing is if you're not from the south. BTW, driving a big truck actually shows lack of a dick....

[-]

Psychedelic-Dreams@reddit

It proves my point that you guys gate keep. It’s like saying everyone’s stupid for saying “kph” and not “mph”

WhyMussAyeCuss@reddit

Is there a purpose to the onions other than awesome flavor?

[-]

Gaybuttchug@reddit

You can use it to clean your grill grate before you cook when it’s already hot!

[-]

Spear302@reddit (OP)

Did that with the thick piece of onion

[-]

boibleu22@reddit

You see all the black that is on the onion on the left? You think this guy cleans his grill? JFC...

[-]

Spear302@reddit (OP)

Flavor

[-]

datdouche@reddit

One onion slice on the non-flame side is not going to impart noticeable flavor onto heavily seasoned meat.

[-]

Spear302@reddit (OP)

Ooo nobody said it didn’t have onion underneath

[-]

datdouche@reddit

Not really gonna work there either amigo, but you do you

[-]

GrumbleTrainer@reddit

I love how everyone is grilling OP for using the term bbq correctly 😆

[-]

Spear302@reddit (OP)

🤣🤣I just should have said cookout

[-]

Flairfield@reddit

I can't stand they're now 14 bucks a pound....granted that's kroger pricing but that's still not acceptable

BBQ is not just slow and low. BBQ is the method of cooking meat by using smoke, it’s the smoke that forms of off wood, not wood chips, not coals, but wood. the taste comes from the type of wood that you use. Different types of wood in the Texas region along with different types of preparing the meat creates different BBQ. That why BBQ tastes different in W. Texas than in does in central Texas, than in does in E. Texas. Please don’t embarrass yourself. If you don’t know this you’re officially not from Texas
