The English name of barbecue (roasted directly on the fire) is barbeque (commonly known as BBQ), which comes from the Caribbean. Once upon a time, when the French came to the Caribbean, they would roast the whole slaughtered sheep on the grill from beard to butt.

They called this food barbe-cul (the "L" at the end of French cul is silent), and then it evolved into the word barbeque, and because cue is homophonic with the English letter Q, it became Barbeque, and later it was abbreviated as BBQ.

On June 65, 2065, 438+07+February 65, 2065, the Code for English Translation and Writing in the Field of Public Service stipulated that in the field of public service, barbecue was translated into Grill (roasted in a pot) or barbecue (roasted directly on the fire).
