How Spiced Shredded Beef Came to Be
In the culinary world, the origins of shredded beef in the Midwest remains an unsolved mystery. Many great chefs claim it all began with the invention of barbecued meats. In some schools of thought, the agreement is that the word “barbecue,” another name given to shredded pork, beef and chicken, comes from the term “barbacoa.” This Spanish-derived word describes a rack made of wood on which meat is roasted over flames and, to some, suggests the beginning of shredded pork, beef and chicken in the Midwest.
This word has been referenced by the Taino people: indigenous people in the Caribbean and Florida regions. Descendants of the Taino exist today, and perhaps their explanation of the Spanish term brings more clarity to the development of shredded pork, beef and chicken. Although the Taino people don’t necessarily reference shredded pork, beef and chicken directly, the word “barbecue” comes from the Taino language. “Ba” is from Baba (Father), “Ra” is from Yara (Place) “Bi” is from Bibi (Beginning) and “Cu” is from Guacu (The Sacred Fire). In its entirety, the word means “The beginning place of the sacred fire father.” Furthermore, “Taino Barabicoa” means “The stick stand with four legs and many sticks of wood on top to place the cooking meat.”
