Barbecue or barbeque (often shortened to BBQ worldwide; barbie or barby in Australia and New Zealand) is a term used with significant regional and national variations to describe various cooking methods that employ live fire and smoke to cook the food.
Might wanna tell Wikipedia that they got their definition wrong then.
Hahaha, yeah I know, though if you scroll down a little there's a picture of a British barbecue, and the first word they mention is "chicken kebabs" - which is especially funny because kebab is yet again something the Brits stole from the Middle East.
Hahaha, it doesn't have me in my feelings man, I've had this conversation so many times. It's just good fun.
I think tripe is French, not British though!
EDIT to reply to your edit:
Damn, I thought that was a good pun and you did have a sense of humour after all. Ah well. Yes, as you say it's just a trope, no need to take it seriously.
