The social network entrepreneur was smoking brisket and ribs ahead of the Presidential debate on Sunday night when he told of how he likes his meat.

As a smoker billows away in the background the barbecuing billionaire answered questions from around the world ahead of the showdown between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Zuckerberg had a few friends over to watch the debate in his backyard and decided to chat to the world to pass the time while he slow cooked his dinner.

At one point a user suggested he should smoke some salmon in the comments section of the video to which he responded: "Smoked salmon is good, but I have to say it’s not quite as good as brisket and ribs.

"Although, you know, the thing that really makes it good–and I think half of the joy is that things taste better when you make them yourself.

"And they taste doubly better when you’ve hunted the animal yourself.

"So, whether you’re fishing for the salmon or going hunting for a boar, that’s a big part of it.

"You feel more connected to what you’re doing and what you’re eating, and then you cook it yourself and it’s this whole experience."

Zuckerberg went on to reveal that he enjoys hunting as it makes him feel "connected to nature," adding: "I feel like if you’re going to eat meat, then you should get to know where it comes from."

He told viewers he had started hunting four or five years ago but didn't get to do it too often as he was often too busy "building Facebook".

Later in the video he was joined by his wife Priscilla and baby girl Max as well as a few friends.

The video lasted just over half an hour and attracted over 10 million views.
