Ok, I just felt the need to inform some people on here that the word 'barbecue' is a verb. That stuff you call barbecue (noun) around here is really just smoked or 'barbecued' piggy. It is pulled or chopped pork to most people that know smoked food.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/barbecue

I'd differ a tiny bit with Merriam-Webster, but I'll not nitpick too much. IMO barbecuing is using indirect heat to cook tastey chow on a cooker. Usually over charcoal or wood. Temperatures vary depending on the food being cooked, but 225 is a good place to start.

Grilling is using direct heat.

Just wanted to clear up this all important topic. You are welcome.:cool:




It is really too bad that us DAMN Yankees have to come here and tell you everything. :D

and then there's the Cubans and their famous 'box' type cooking of a whole hog. Preceeded by the Cajuns. Preceeded by the Chinese.

I plan on building some kind of custom cooker up at our mountain place, but can't decide style. So many choices.

I hear poor people dig a hole in the ground. Evidently they've never dug up yellow clay full of rocks, or a granite mountainside.....guess it's easier when you live on a sand dune.

Personally I feel that an old 100lb propane tank (25.x gallon) is exactly the right size to cook a smoker pig. Longways, with an apple in his mouth and a stick up his arse if you prefer.

That's *ALMOST* as wrong as Mayonnaise BBQ sauce, but not quite. If you cook your BBQ in New Yorkistan you and your comrades can call it whatever the government says you can, but you're in the South, where BBQ is food, and this is a crime against nature:

(yes I know that Alabama is in the south, but this is just WRONG!!!)

I'll use vinegar based sauces once in awhile. And mustard based. And tomato based. Heck I've made barbecued pork and then just added a little dry rub in to the cooked and pulled meat. you don't get a body like mine by being picky.

I'm nearly on the line. I can eat it all (except nasty thick Ketchup BBQ mess out of a bottle)

Same here...vinegar sauce, good dry rub, and mustard sauce. Those three, only those three, and in that order lol.

I have tried it, and it does not offend me. I just don't see the point when there are better options. I'd prefer some god spices before that. And a well seasoned or cooked piggy is pretty tasty on its own.

I'm just saying.........that vinegar might have been invented out of necessity since running and/or clean water sources may have been optional down east

Ah, then the fecal eaters realized vinegar helped and got used to the flavor. And non-fecal eaters from other areas think they are crazy. So a rivalry is born. Cool.

No problem,, it's not your fault you don't understand.
 
vinegar even takes rust off of steel. it's Got to Be Good with BBQ.
 
Well, there's BBQ (adj). That BBQ grill is sure nice!
and there's barbecue (verb) I'm gonna barbecue some ribs today!
and we also have Bar-be-que (noun) You all coming to our bar-be-que today?
So, it depends on how you use it in a sentence.
 
I gotta say...vinegar based sauces arent my thing at all...non native so big shocker.. used to TX style ketchup based sauce...and I prefer brisket to pork too..

I do appreciate the hotter sauces though, and mustard based ones...

Dont hate. TX style is what we grew up with in the PacNW.

My dad used to joke about eating pigs feet...

"They're really good, particularly if the pig stepped in something sweet on the way to the slaughterhouse."
:eek:
 
And WHAT culture and food do yankees have?

I canā€™t see someone going to Louisiana, taste bliss in a bowl and argue about the name they chose.

Ugh no to both

Mustard based and no sissy whip on top
 
I grew up on a working beef cattle farm (primarily Angus, later Angus/Gelbvieh crosses) in KS, so I grew up with KC barbecue- brisket, burnt ends, ribs, etc. Beef. Pigs were for chops, ham, sausage & bacon.

Then I get sent to Bragg & discover pig pickin's & spicy-assed vinegar sauce. Mmm mmm mmm. Good stuff.

I don't care whatcha call it, whether yer cookin' up cow, pig, raccoon, nutria or whichever critter you please, I like it all. Don't care if it's from KC, Memphis, west Texas, or down east, it's all good to me. Only style I haven't tried is the mustard-based & I need to fix that.

Yankees have wings, cheap beer and pizza as far as I am concerned. You could argue seafood, Italian food or other things, but lots of people have that stuff. Wings, beer and pizza. Otherwise known as offensive lineman food.

My Yankee family loved foods like perogies, olives, artichokes, garlic, goats milk, brussels sprouts, and kourabiedes. Also, bolwing, polka music, pinochle, and ice skating. I didnā€™t have my first biscuit until I was 10 years old but oh man, how fast I adjusted to real food :).
