John Cornyn's Christmas Eve brisket confuses the internet
Austin American Statesman ^ | 12/25/2020 | Eric Webb

Well, it definitely appears to be meat of some sort.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn of Texas on Thursday tweeted a photo of his family's holiday meal with the caption, "Brisket family tradition."

As Cornyn is the senior senator from Texas, it's no surprise that the tweet set off a big reaction. Brisket's big business in this state, and the meat seen in Cornyn's photo looks a far cry from the kind you'd find in the pit at spots like Franklin and Snow's.

For one thing, Cornyn's looks pretty dry. For another, the red stuff on the top — barbecue sauce, you'd imagine — has a color and texture that looks like spaghetti sauce left out too long.

I don’t know anything about brisket; but I know that food is very difficult to photograph. There are stylists and photographers who specialize in it, and most professional photos of food that you see are highly doctored to make them come out looking anything like the real thing.

Must be a slow night for news. If the Cornyn’s want to eat their brisket with that sauce on it, that is THEIR business. Wow....

Written by someone who has never encountered a tomato-based BBQ sauce, apparently.

Well, Cornyn did caption it with “Brisket family tradition”. We’ve been in Texas for a bit over two years, and I’ve never seen brisket other than without sauce or BBQ sauce. Very strange.

Well, you know what? 80 million Americans voted this the best brisket they’d ever seen.

If it needs sauce, it’s not real Texas BBQ Brisket.

Cornyn shows his a** again. He’s not a Texan.

It’s beyond disgusting. It looks like Cornyn put spaghetti sauce on whatever form of meat it is.

That ain’t no brisket. Looks more like ribs. Never saw a brisket with bones in it.
