Not exactly barbecue, but eating meat cooked on coals somewhere outside is pretty popular in my corner of eastern europe.

Nothing to do with a barbecue

uhhhhh… is this a joke?

No? You may have to explain the term "barbecue" then, I fear.

If by barbecue you mean grilling, it's very popular in the summer up here in Norway. If you mean actual barbecue, then not so much - It takes too long. The only one I know here who does actual barbecue here is a Texan immigrant.

Poland: fairly popular both as means of preparing food and as a social event. If it is a social event they are much smaller than in the US or Canada on average.

Depends what your definition of common is, I live in Amsterdam and I'd say in summer people BBQ like once a month, depending on if you have space etc.

In summer I'd sometimes have a Braai (South African style BBQ) multiple times a week, it's a big part of my culture. But on average like once a week 🤷‍♂️

Back home in South Africa some people braai multiple times a week on average

Should we introduce a distinction on public/private space barbecue ?

can we bring up the assumption that BBQ is an "American thing"?

cooking stuff on a fire outside is the most ancient and universal form of cooking.

yhea, different places have their own variations, but asking a question like "do [non Americans] do [something universal]" is painfully stupid.

The assumption is that the majority of people on Lemmy are from the US.

This space is too discuss between Europeans.
