Southern Carnivory

I was thinking that there is something about the cuisines of the Southern hemispheric countries that has a predilection for grilled meats. If you think about the cooking in Argentina, Australia and South Africa (Is South Africa in the Southern hemisphere? Maybe I have that wrong.), grilled meats - very good grilled meats - figure in heavily. Of course, for different reasons, and with different animals. In Argentina, it comes from the farming of cattle, South Africa eats up the spoils of big game hunting, and Australia - well, the barbie is where things coalesce.
