An award-winning barbecue cook boldly asserts that barbecuing is a unique American tradition that was not imported. The origin story of barbecue is a popular topic with a ravenous audience, but commonly held understandings of barbecue are often plagued by half-truths and misconceptions. From Barbycu to Barbecue offers a fresh new look at the story of southern barbecuing. Award winning barbecue cook Joseph R. Haynes sets out to correct one of the most common barbecue myths, the "Caribbean Origins Theory," which holds that the original southern barbecuing technique was imported from the Caribbean to what is today the American South. Rather, Haynes argues, the southern whole carcass barbecuing technique that came to define the American tradition developed via direct and indirect collaboration between Native Americans, Europeans, and free and enslaved people of African descent during the seventeenth century. Haynes's barbycu-to-barbecue history analyzes historical sources throughout the Americas that show that the southern barbecuing technique is as unique to the United States as jerked hog is to Jamaica, and barbacoa is to Mexico. A recipe in each chapter provides a contemporary interpretation of a historical technique.Show book

From the outside looking in, the Amish appear to be simple people. They eschew any modern conveniences in favor of old-fashioned living. This lifestyle means no motorized vehicles, electronics, or most forms of technology developed after the 19th century. The rejection of advances in the rest of society sometimes includes ideals, viewpoints, practices, and programs developed as the rest of the world evolved. Since most Amish communities are located in the United States, they occasionally conflict with the state and federal governments. When their traditions clash with the official laws and regulations in their jurisdiction, concessions are made on both sides. The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agreed in 1961 that the Amish are exempt from paying taxes to the Federal Social Security program, and was codified by a law passed in 1965. Conversely, despite their insular nature, they are still subject to the United States criminal justice system. They will cooperate with local and federal law enforcement agencies when necessary, despite their preference for using religious bodies to handle legal conflicts. Much of the motivation behind the Amish maintaining such insular communities stems from their difficult history at their inception.Show book
