Barbeque is an ethical argument, particularly when it comes to the sauce.

Memphis, Little Rock, and Kansas City Barbeque styles all use pork as the base and a tomato based sauce. Memphis is the “standard” sauce, Little Rock is sweeter, KC is a little less sweet and more smoky.

Texas Barbeque is beef based with a very savory sauce.

North Carolina is pork based with a vinegar based sauce.

South Carolina is pork based with a mustard based sauce.

I personally prefer a Memphis style sauce when I eat pulled pork (Sweet Baby Rays is my current favorite), a dry rub when I eat ribs, and a Texas style sauce when I eat beef.

But eat what you enjoy, it’s not a moral argument!

Chili, on the other hand, is a moral argument.

You kind'a got that wrong. EASTERN North Carolina BBQ is pork with a vinegar based sauce. Lexington style sauce which the rest of North Carolina favors is something like Eastern sauce but with ketchup in it.

I was born in Texas and raised in Oklahoma and to me BBQ means beef (except for some pork ribs).

The first time I went to NC with my wife and she said she wanted Que I was quite happy. When they served me a plate of chopped up pig with vinegar on it I felt the same way Perry did. Over the years I have developed a taste for pig vinegarette (as I refer to it), and I can smoke up a pretty good pig shoulder, but it still ain't BarBQue.

Well let's see exactly what kind of morals you have. Beans or no beans?
