Not exactly barbecue, but eating meat cooked on coals somewhere outside is pretty popular in my corner of eastern europe.
Sounds exactly like barbecue!
Nothing to do with a barbecue
uhhhhh… is this a joke?
No? You may have to explain the term “barbecue” then, I fear.
a meal or gathering at which meat, fish, or other food is cooked out of doors on a rack over an open fire or on a portable grill.
Don’t you see how that’s different??/??/?
Very popular!
Germany/Switzerland
German here:
- Spring / Autumn: 1 x month
- Summer: 1-2 x week
- Winter: 0
What? You don’t partake in Wintergrillen? You’re really missing out.
I second this
I third this.
I fourth this.
Poland: fairly popular both as means of preparing food and as a social event. If it is a social event they are much smaller than in the US or Canada on average.
Quite.
South of France.
Should we introduce a distinction on public/private space barbecue ?
If by barbecue you mean grilling, it’s very popular in the summer up here in Norway. If you mean actual barbecue, then not so much - It takes too long. The only one I know here who does actual barbecue here is a Texan immigrant.
Depends what your definition of common is, I live in Amsterdam and I’d say in summer people BBQ like once a month, depending on if you have space etc.
In summer I’d sometimes have a Braai (South African style BBQ) multiple times a week, it’s a big part of my culture. But on average like once a week 🤷♂️
Back home in South Africa some people braai multiple times a week on average
Very Cyprus
can we bring up the assumption that BBQ is an “American thing”?
cooking stuff on a fire outside is the most ancient and universal form of cooking.
yhea, different places have their own variations, but asking a question like “do [non Americans] do [something universal]” is painfully stupid.
The assumption is that the majority of people on Lemmy are from the US.
This space is too discuss between Europeans.
