Here's an old post on "real" barbecue in Mongolia, http://www.chowhound.com/topics/27827#115419 Tue Aug 14 13:16:51 -0700 2007 2844690 10039 Melanie Wong 1 2845366 Looks like even Food Network doesn't know what BBQ is!

Tue Aug 14 15:34:57 -0700 2007 2845366 11369 Robert Lauriston 3 2845867 Yep, I used to have it only as a treat when I was a kid. It was such a huge deal when we found it here in the US. Tue Aug 14 16:08:49 -0700 2007 2845760 11826 Phaedrus 3 2845881 Understood.... however I would expect a supposed Gastronimically focused network to do The Secret Life of International Grilling.... not BBQ (oh well the guy who does it seems pretty clueless anyway).

Tue Aug 14 16:15:37 -0700 2007 2845881 11826 Phaedrus 4 2846123 Hey, don't abandon traditional barbacoa that fast! Tue Aug 14 17:28:39 -0700 2007 2845881 10039 Melanie Wong 5 2846709 I meant that Food Network did a series on International Styles of Grilling and then misnamed it BBQ... not that they SHOULDN'T do an episode of BBQ... it would be a great idea. But, given how dumb the Food Network is this Century.... I am sure they would screw it up.

Wed Aug 15 05:36:28 -0700 2007 2846709 11826 Phaedrus 7 2847527 Have they ever done International BBQ styles? Wed Aug 15 08:13:27 -0700 2007 2847092 42572 Eat_Nopal 7 2848651 You kidding? Barbecue should have its own 24-hour cable channel. Wed Aug 15 12:56:41 -0700 2007 2847092 11369 Robert Lauriston 8 2848771 ooh. then i would HAVE to get cable.
