Some speculate a caveman came across a burned down forest after a fire. Some burned up animals in the debris. Well the rest is history

Dried it. Smoked it. Salted it

@LunarOrbit I'm talking about cooking it over flame

@LunarOrbit Dried might’ve been the only way they’d preserve meat before cooking. Fire was around fro about 2 million years and smoking meat has been around fro about 11000 and salt has been used in food preservation for about 5000 years. However as to how they ate it before cooking @fernie2 it was probably raw. The only reason raw meats can be poisonous to people, and they aren’t always, is because we’ve been cooking them for so long that we lost all the enzymes that could break it down properly.

@Benjr134 apparently humans ate meat about 2.6 million years ago so the barbeque could have been invented about 2 million years ago

When they ate ham for the first time and decided it tastes better cooked.

Before homo sapiens. There's evidence of 250,000 year old cooking.

All food was raw before fire was discovered.

The Indians dried it in the sun.

That's a damn good question. It would have to be after they discovered how to make fire, and I'm not sure how long ago that was. I'm wondering who was brave enough to stick their hand in the fire to find out how good cooked food was
@TheLordOfHell maybe someone dropped a Bison leg in the fire

@fernie2 Yah that actually makes sense.
