According to "Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North Carolina Barbecue," in 1992 when Perry was a promising Texas politician but not yet governor, he tried some Eastern North Carolina barbecue from King's of Kinston, which was served at the Republican National Convention in Houston. "I've had road kill that tasted better than that," Perry was quoted as saying.

Actually barbeque isn't barbeque unless it is pork. However, I enjoy jerk pork and Cuban style barbeque pork the best.

Unfortunately Carlton is having licensing problems with the city so I haven’t had jerk pork in a few weeks.

I like Barbecue beef and chicken but you are right. To be authentic Bar B Q it has to be pork.

“I’ve had road kill that tasted better than that,” Perry was quoted as saying.

Sun baked Armadillo?

This is the information age and many in NC are probably hearing this for the first time. No longer can the political class run and hide and thank God for that.

Politicians seem to think they should never be held accountable. It is on his record and he owns it, just like the “have no heart” comment that took him down in flames.

Enjoy your illegals, Gov. They’ve just cost you an election.

Do we really want a President who’d eat roadkill?

[Marty62]

Talk about dredging the barrel.

I bet he let gas in kindergarten too. Oh the Horror, oh the horror.

Perry must be pure as the driven snow, since they have to try to use a comment he made 20 years ago, about a barbeque he didn’t like, to attack him.

That is a really good reason to NOT vote for him. (/sarcasm)

Perry ping

” he tried some Eastern North Carolina barbecue from King’s of Kinston, which was served at the Republican National Convention in Houston. “I’ve had road kill that tasted better than that,” Perry was quoted as saying.”

I have the same sentiment about Eastern style, especially from King’s.

Naw, BBQ is a cooking technique, not a meat choice. Pork is my favorite, but I've had barbecued beef, chicken, lamb (BBQ leg of lamb is awesome), venison, turkey, goat, quail, pheasant, and probably some others I can't think of right off. It's all good. In fact it's all GREAT!

[stormer]

Nonsense - it ain’t the meat, it’s the method.

Perry Ping....

IF you'd rather NOT be pinged FReepmail me.

IF you'd like to be added FReepmail me. Thanks.

We need to get you down to Texas, STAT. Q here is beef and nothing but beef. We have our own pork, we call it a whole hog roast, but it doesn't classify as Texas BBQ. Ribs are called ribs, pork butt is called butt, but only Beef Brisket is called BBQ here.

And by the way, what is up with those mustard or vinegar sauces(sic) you call BBQ sauce?

[luvie]

Texas BBQ is very different from southeastern BBQ. I understand where he was coming from. :)

I guess I like both kinds, but prefer BBQ’d beef. REAL BBQ, not just boiled meat with some sauce poured over it.

Just sayin’......

[yarddog]

Any high quality meat, cooked well and seasoned properly will naturally mean good eating.

Being from the South tho, if it isn’t pork, it just isn’t real barbecue.

[Allegra]

Seriesly?

Is anybody really trying to make an issue of this?

LOL

[Raycpa]

[Vendome]

That’s actually a funny story.

[SeafoodGumbo]

I love Texas bbq, but I don't know if there's anything better than E. Carolina pulled pork.

"The Renowned Mr. Brown" from the cookbook Smoke & Spice, smoked over pecan wood.....it doesn't get any better.

[jgge]

WOW, the desperation to attack Perry is now an hourly comedy.
