What is real BBQ?

Good barbeque doesnt need sauce, but does go well with it, I like my pork north carolina style, my brisket texas style but please leave the fat on when you slice it/ chopit, my pork ribs with a slightly sweet and spice dry rub, my chicken with a tomato based sweet and spicey sauce, and all of it smoked, and a selection of sauces on the table so I can chose what and how much my self. And being from texas I like my tea fresh and unsweet, not instant, not pre sweetened, but I do want the lemon wedges and sugar on the table but let me choose how I want it.

Fine and hopefully you've been good your own self. What do you think of my first post - as irreverant as ever. :cool:


Great. Good to see you still have a certain panache.
 


I'm a pulled pork with a red BBQ sauce man. I don't know the correct terms, as there are very few places around in New England that I can have BBQ at.

There is one decent place in Mohegan Sun Casino called "Big Bubba's". After reviewing the menu, I apparently like Memphis-style.

I would rather eat it down in NC when I visit my family with some real hushpuppies. :)
 



Proper barbeque is preferably a brisket, although pulled pork is acceptable. As for the wood, Mesquite is common, but I personally prefer the flavor of hickory.

Grilling isn't barbequing. Going out in your backyard and firing up your grill isn't barbequing anything, that's grilling. You grill a burger or a hot dog, you barbeque a brisket or a large section of a pig :)

Yes, the sauce should be on the side: thick, sweet and spicy. The sauce is on the side so you can savor the flavor of the meat proper, then compliment it with a little sauce. No mass produced glorified ketchup either, skip the grocery store. My sauce of choice is "Kentucky's Smoking Grill" (http://www.whitestoneorganicfarm.com/barbeque_sauce.htm), which is a locally made one. No preservatives or anything like that, just a family recipe being produced in quantity. Search google for that exact phrase and you'll get some good info.

A dry rub for flavoring instead is okay for an occasional change of pace, but it's just not the same.
