*With a name like "Sanitary," it has to be good.*
Awww. My late father always called it "Bob-a-cue," too.
Agreed. Thanks for the concordance on the subject. I knew there had to be some scripture that addressed it.
Going on 10 years in NC and I have yet to learn "to deal" with the BBQ.
I like Memphis style best and I'm not even from TN.
Funny story about the name. When it opened, in 1938, "Sanitary" meant that they served NO alcoholic beverages.
No kidding? I've never heard of that before. Not even in Oklahoma when it was dry! We did have a "Sanitary Dairy" brand of milk, tho.
"Sanitary" reminds me of the "sanitary straw dispensers" that came out when they started wrapping drinking straws individually. "Never touched by human hands."
Not sure about your Grandmother, but my Grandma claimed that hers were just cornmeal mixed with water to about the consistency of pancake batter, and then fried in a cast iron skillet.
I will tell you that I've tried it, and most of mine don't come out near as good as I remember hers tasting.
Now my Grandpa used to make a breakfast hoecake that was a skillet-sized biscuit baked on top of the stove. I can't make those at all.
My tee-totaler aunts loved my mom's hushpuppies, and she didn't dare tell them it was because she used beer as the liquid in them...
Well, these things were absolutely flat, had a slightly greasy taste, were pure fried, and melted in your mouth. The only other time I have ever seen them was about 25 years ago in a little seafood restauraunt in Mexico Beach, Fla.
That sounds like the right thing. The best ones were really crispy around the edges?
I cooked a pile of them one afternoon, trying to get it right, and some of them almost were, but were a tad too greasy. I think it has something to do with the type grease you use, and the temperature you fry them at.
I'll try to recreate them too. If I do I'll ping you.

Sounds good! Good luck!
Ummmm.... dang! ...wipes drool from shirt.
You're killing me, this should have been an after-lunch NC ping. ;>
