The "Australian Barbecue" was brought by the British colonists. In 1920, an advertisement about barbecue appeared in a newspaper in Sydney for the first time, encouraging people to build their own barbecue ovens. However, due to the limitation of economic strength, it took several decades for people to transfer the leisure activity of barbecue from public places to private areas, and the way of barbecue also changed from straightforward and direct roasting of a whole animal to "elegant" cutting into small pieces and then baking. It was not until 1950 that barbecue finally developed into a "national food movement" suitable for all ages.

An interesting thing happened to a family in Australia in 2020. Their family held a barbecue party on the island. When they were ready to eat delicious food, they were suddenly surrounded by more than 50 crabs. The crabs seemed to smell the barbecue and swarmed in from all directions. Some "anxious" crabs even climbed onto the table and barbecue rack. However, this coconut crab is a protected animal in Australia and is not allowed to eat. After they shared their photos on Twitter, it also caused heated discussion among netizens. 

According to reports, the Luetich family has lived on Christmas Island for several years. On a whim, they held a barbecue party one night and invited several families who came to the island to participate. Just as everyone was happily baking the prepared ingredients, they found that a large group of crabs suddenly appeared at their feet and surrounded them, They looked at them with open teeth and claws, as if they were saying with their eyes, "Hand over the food on your hands!"



It can be seen from the photo that the little girl in the family was sitting on a folding chair eating dinner when suddenly there were six crabs approaching at her feet, which scared the girl not to move. She could only make a "little shocked expression" to her parents in front of the camera. In addition, a few crabs climbed directly onto the barbecue rack and seemed eager to eat the rest of the food.

Amy Luetich, the hostess of the Lutik family, mentioned that, "My son counted carefully, and there were 52 crabs wandering around around us. We had camped here before, and we had never seen so many" robbers "before. Maybe it was because the taste of our cooking was so delicious that they all came to us... Fortunately, our camping place is far away from the barbecue, so we can sleep at least at night."

Many netizens left messages after reading the photos, saying, "It's terrible! It looks like alien intrusion", "I have goose bumps. You are too brave. I ran away immediately." "Not terrible! They are just like dogs. When we stroll on the beach, we will feed them coconuts. They are very cute." "This kind of crab is very delicious! Hurry to catch some and add some food tonight!"

It is understood that this kind of crab is called coconut crab. It weighs up to 6 kg and can be as long as 1 meter wide. It has a strong sense of smell, a hard shell, and powerful giant pincers. It can climb the coconut tree, peel the hard coconut shell with double pincers, and eat the flesh inside. In addition to the flesh, they also eat the carcasses of other animals, or other crabs. In addition, coconut crab meat is fresh and tender, and has a special coconut flavor. Whether steamed, boiled or boiled in soup, it tastes delicious, and is welcomed by diners.
