But nothing more characteristic than tthe barbecue in the backyardlike what Google depicts in its Doodle.
American barbecues date back to the early 19th century, when Southerners commemorated the anniversary of independence with public feasts and meals. Since they allowed a large amount of food to be cooked at once, barbecues became a staple for outdoor gatherings where local farmers and community members offered meat for everyone to eat. When many southern African Americans immigrated to the north in the 20th century, they brought favorite barbecue recipes with them. Soon, barbecue restaurants spread across American cities, with each area having its own distinct style.
Today, millions of Americans gather with loved ones around barbecue grills to celebrate the Fourth of July.
