Barbecue, verb or noun?

Barbecue, verb or noun?  For those of us from the S.E. Virginia/North Carolina region it’s most definitely a noun and a delicious one at that.  It’s a delectable vinegar-based chopped pork served on a soft bun or not, with coleslaw or not, with Texas Pete or not or just straight-up pork on a plate – and it’s so darn good!  How do you like your barbecue?
