"This meat smells amazing! It's every bit as good as what you get at a restaurant. I had no idea you were such a good cook, Harukawa, hehe!" Uzuki Yugao said to Momokusa Harukawa as she ate the sliced meat in her hand.
"As long as you like it! I was worried I wouldn't grill it well! I'm usually the one who cooks at home. Mom and Dad work and don't have time to cook, so I took on the job!" Momokusa Harukawa said, smiling at Uzuki Yugao.
Ruri, who was eating slices of grilled meat nearby, thought of a past life upon hearing Momokusa Harukawa's words.
I never went out for barbecue with friends before-no, to be precise, I barely had any friends back then! Life really is wonderful now, with so many friends by my side. This is the first time I've ever felt this way! Looking at the friends chatting and laughing in front of Ruri, Ruri smiled with contentment at the thought.
Barbecuing might well have been humanity's earliest method of cooking. It involved using fuel to heat and dry the air, then placing food in that hot, dry air relatively close to the heat source to cook it.
Generally speaking, barbecuing involved cooking food over a fire until it was ready to eat, most often meat, seafood, or vegetables. In modern society, the many ways of using fire had gradually led to more varied barbecue methods, with all sorts of barbecue ovens, grills, sauces, and more being developed.
Barbecuing itself had also become a form of group recreation or a business. Regardless of the region, barbecues were usually group activities ranging from family gatherings to school-wide events and activities organized by companies.
*Barbecuing really is amazing! It tastes so delicious! Human ingenuity really is incredible!
