A plain answer on Barbecue vs. Barbeque
When you
go to a restaurant, which of these two should you order?
Barbecue is a noun that either can refer to suspending meat over burning coals on a wooden frame, (In any small Texas town, you probably can find a restaurant with a barbecue out back. ) or a get-together in which food is prepared this way (The Johnsons invited us to a barbecue on Friday night.).
It also can be a verb showing this way of cooking (John plans to barbecue pork.). It also can be used as an adjective describing the way a food was prepared (Max always ordered barbecue ribs when he went out to eat.).
Barbeque means the exact same things and can be used in the exact same ways. It���s merely a variant in spelling ��� of which there are several, including bar-b-cue, bar-b-que, and BBQ.
Barbecue is the most common spelling of the various versions, however. The variants typically are seem in advertisements and restaurant names.
