que? what?

from whence comes the que in barbeque?

there are a lot of stories explaining this, and unfortunately i found out today that my favorite of these stories is classified as a myth.

the story goes that a group of french people visited the carribean and saw a pig being roasted whole on a spit over a fire, and said the cooking stake went "barbe a queue," or "from beard to tail.

oh dear, now i'm very hungry.
