Probably from the Caribbean. In the past, when the French came to the Caribbean, they would put whole slaughtered sheep on the grill from beard to buttocks and then eat them.

Cultural origin:

Fuxi is the "head of the three emperors" who is a representative figure of Chinese civilization. According to the "Three Character Classic", "from Xi Nong to the Yellow Emperor, he was named the Three Emperors in the Last World" . The creative spirit is the cultural spirit of Fuxi. In ancient times, there were many fish in rivers, lakes, and seas, many birds in the sky, and many beasts on the ground, but people would not catch them.

People wait by the water with a tree trunk in hand, and hit the fish with a stick while watching them swim by. Only by this method can they occasionally catch a few fish. Fuxi dried wild hemp, dried it, and twisted it into ropes. Then he used thinner ropes to make nets and taught people how to fish. He used thicker ropes to make nets and taught people how to catch birds and animals.

This is much better than just eating wild fruits from the trees, but eating raw fish and birds does not taste good. What is serious is that some of them are not good, and you will get sick after eating them. When Fuxi brought fire from heaven, he taught people to use fire to roast birds and fish and eat them. From then on, people became healthier by eating delicious barbecue. In order to commemorate Fuxi, people called him "Pao Xi", that is, "the first person to roast animal meat over fire."
