I think there is a missing page of the Decleration of Independence. Since i've been alive, I've think I've always celebrated the 4th of July with hotdogs, hamburgers, chips, and anything else that can be grilled or comes in a disposable container. What is missing from the Decleration is just that, a decleration.
We declare ourselves free of the English meal of "fish 'n' chips." We establish our own tradition, an American tradition. We will cook meat over a flame, wether charcoal or gas. We will have family get togethers. We will explode ordinances in the air! We will get out lawn darts (in some states). We will bask in the in the sunshine and heat that is decidedly, not an English tradition.
I believe that if the original Patriots knew how big a holiday July 4th would become, they would be quite pleased.
