Grilling

Cooking foods outside on a grill is one of my earliest food memories. As a little kid, I lived with my grandparents, and we often went on fishing trips to remote lakes and streams in the Colorado Rockies. We caught a lot of trout, especially rainbows and cutthroats, and my grandmother would salt and pepper them inside and out, wrap them in bacon, and grill them over hot coals along with fresh corn or whatever else we had at the moment. It couldn’t have been simpler but, man, was it delicious! Grilling is certainly a primeval technique. Prehistoric folk no doubt rigged all kinds of ways to cook over coals and fire.
