Shredded Pork, Beef and Chicken in the Midwest

Shredded pork, beef and chicken are among the many custom wholesale meat products prepared by Karn Meats for its Midwest customers. Karn Meats starts out with top quality meat cuts and creates shredded pork, beef and chicken to its Midwest customer specifications, following strict HACCP guidelines.

In the culinary world, the origins of shredded pork, beef and chicken in the Midwest remains an unsolved mystery. Many great Chefs say that shredded pork, beef and chicken began with the invention of barbeque meats. In some schools of thought, the agreement is that the word “barbecue” – another name given to shredded pork, beef and chicken in the Midwest comes from "barbacoa". This is the Spanish word which 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.

Apparently this word is referenced to the Taino people: indigenous people in the Caribbean and Florida regions. Descendents 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 in the Midwest.

Although the Taino people don’t necessarily reference shredded pork, beef and chicken in the Midwest, they say 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 it means "The beginning place of the sacred fire father." Furthermore,"Taino Barabicoa" means "The stick stand with 4 legs and many sticks of wood on top to place the cooking meat."
