The English name of barbecue (roasted directly on the fire) is barbecue (commonly known as BBQ), which comes 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.

They called this food barbe-cul (the "l" at the end of the French word cul is silent), which later evolved into the word barbecue, and because cue has the same sound as the English letter Q, it became barbeque, later shortened to BBQ.

The "English Translation and Writing Standards in Public Service Fields" officially implemented on December 1, 2017 stipulates that in the field of public service services, barbecue is translated as Grill (roasted in a pan) ) or Barbecue (roasted directly over the fire).
