eta, I meant the term in all its forms and meanings. I too have never heard "taverns" to mean a sandwich!

To me, the word barbecue when it refers to meat means that the meat has been shredded, and has sauce either in it or on it. If it is in large pieces with sauce, for ex. a leg or a thigh, then we say we're having barbecued chicken. Chicken BBQ is shredded chicken with sauce.


Yup, a "tavern" is a sloppy joe but shredded chicken? Not where I live, people would leave and head for
Micky D's, if they thought they were getting Bar-B-Que and received it already "chewed".

This is what I call my barbecue, but Jackie once told me this is called freegan cookout.(?) As a rule I'm just happy with the fire and too much trouble to put up on some meat or fish and survey it. Sit and enjoy the flames. BBQC was imported from Yous in the 70-s. freegan cookout

Magnificent!
I'll send you pictures of mine soon, minus the hawks as they
seem to have found other roosting places, which is OK as they
do feast on the rabbits and other little uninvited guests to
my garden. Received a camera for posting pictures on computer.
And now to learn how to use it. Can't post here yet, but can
send email. Beautiful garden.

Thank you for calling my gardening from scratch magnificent.
I guess the gardening I do will be called 'freegan' too. Succes and luck with the camera. Reading the instructions slowly mostly gives good results.

Not for "your's truly".
I have too much trouble with written instructions,cf when you
all try to teach me how to post pictures here.
The camera's instruction book is 196 pages in English.
I am only on page 38 and that took two hours. I am just no
good with "Tab A into Slot B". If someone shows me I have it
forever, but reading instructions are insufferable.
