In the meantime, hardly any articles or polls about his record of job creation, his agenda of low taxes, low regulations, "making the Federal government as inconsequential in our lives as possible" is NOT being mentioned.
Perry ping or not?
Can’t believe the MSM
“The reaction in North Carolina was swift. Newspaper columnists declared Perry unfit for office and demanded a retraction. A representative of the Smithfield’s Chicken N’ Bar-B-Q chain mailed Perry 2 pounds of pork barbecue and an open letter encouraging him to “revisit your experience with Eastern North Carolina Bar-B-Q and … rectify your statement.”
BBQ is serious stuff in the South!! Don’t go insulting an area’s BBQ unless you want start a fight...... (Not saying this is or cold be an campaign issue but....) LOL
Perry is a loose canon on deck.
Yes, there are a lot of folks stuck on stupid these days.
I think I visited King’s once. I remember the hush puppies. sorta. Been to Austin a couple of times. I remember the barbecue and the 2 places to get it.
The hardest thing to swallow is the propaganda being peddled. Just who are they asking about this? 5th graders?
Just got in from the store and standing in the check-out line I glanced at the trash rack and there was the Nat Enquirer and on the corner the headline read: “Rick Perry Linked to the Ku Klux Klan!”
It’s evil and it’s despicable. People falling for this (if any truly are) are unlearned zombies.
I’ve decided to not go on record regarging this article.
We are electing a President, not a restaurant critic.
That's a rather heartless comment to make about another southern state's staple food.
Eastern N.C. pulled pork for crock pot/slow cooker
1. Place all ingredients in crock pot.
2. Cook for 7 to 9 hours on "Low" slow cooker setting.
3. After meat is cooked, remove from slow cooker onto plate and break apart with fork. Discard bones, if any.
5. Return meat warm sauce to reheat.
6. Serve on burger buns or Kaiser Rolls.
7. Enjoy with beans and slaw, or whatever tickles your tastbuds.
What a shock when I moved this fifth generation Texan relocated to Georgia and experienced a BBQ. Having very little experince outside the Lone Star State I assumed all BBQs involved beef. I was absolutely shocked to see white meat (pork) under the sauce.
Brisket is next to impossible to find! Oh how I miss brisket and Tex- Mex food.
The upside, during our town’s annual BBQ cook off, I am given brisket free as the locals will not eat it, much less buy it.
I’d be interested in knowing just what sort of roadkill the good governor of Texas is in the habit of ingesting.
Possum on the halfshell, maybe? I hear that’s one of them Texas thangs.
(He's had road kill before?) But I live in North Carolina, and I agree with him 100% that the BBQ here leaves a lot to be desired. Makes me miss Georgia sometimes.
On this matter I agree with Perry completely. I guess I’d better not run for president then.
LOL! People in Texas AND NC will get a kick out of that one. Of course he defended his state. That’s like supporting your own football team.
“Nineteen years ago, at the 1992 Republican National Convention, a barbecue taste-off pitted beef tenderloin from Joe Allen’s Bar-B-Que of Abilene, Texas, against pulled pork from Kings Restaurant in Kinston, N.C. Perry, then the agriculture commissioner of Texas, sampled the Carolina barbecue and declared, “I’ve had road kill that tasted better than that.””
I keep kosher so this is good news for me :)
I guess I am not standing up for my state (Texas) but the best BBQ I have ever eaten was in Tennessee. That was a few years ago. I don’t eat BBQ anymore it upsets my stomach. sob~
I love Eastern Carolina BBQ myself, but my husband hates it sooooo much. He doesn't even consider it true BBQ.
Really? Nothing to see here, just a matter of taste.
