History of the BBQ
O U R S T O R Y
I want you to hear about
In the beginning, there was fire.
<> Then somebody tossed a hunk of antelope into the embers, and,
àL0, there was barbecue.
I am an ember burning in the heartland of Egypt.
Opening the Mouth of Osiris
I am I. I am Osiris.
I have come because I wish to have come.
Build a bright fire of rags on the west bank of the Nile.
we shall roast the leg of an antelope
Give me charms and incense and saffron cake.
Give all the gods mouths to sing and Dance
Give me raisin cake and beer.
Give me songs green as earth.
Give all the gods mouths to sing
and Bless me with ancient dreams.
