Let's hear it for a Southern Tradition!

Nuthin' beats the smell of some hickory wood smokin' some BBQ, sweet tea, and good conversation!

Hungry?

Except mesquite. I don't understand how normally reasonable people are fooled into thinking hickory is better than mesquite. ;>)

Pork or beef (or mutton or goat)?

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

I like variety.

[JRandomFreeper]

BTW, I noticed your BBQ article was promulgated from New York City. What would anyone in NYC know about BBQ?

Apologies to the creators of the Pace picante commercial. ;>)

[JRandomFreeper]

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Would you like a couple of biscuits with that?

I turn into Homer Simpson around BBQ.

What would anyone in NYC know about BBQ?

They helped elect a pig as junior senator, didn't they?

This is a topic for the Lucianne.com Weekend Roundtable that gets hijacked by Radical Militant Epicureans and Cullulite Elites.

Try not to slam pigs. Comparing pigs to the junior senator from NY is way below the belt. Pigs deserve respect for all they do for us. GRIN!

I think the NYC paper carried the story from Miss. The Yankees, I know think a BBQ is throwin' weenies on the grill!

To Southerners, BBQ is an obsession, we're born with it : )

Sure would! These barbeque threads always make me hungry.

No it's not! And on that note, I've got to go change the marinade on the ribs. Marinade and then a dry rub. That's the secret....;>)

Well, I noticed that they managed to politicize it.

"Berlin before the wall came down???" Upchuck alert.

Very good! Hey, you don't suppose a Southerner moved to . . . . nah!

[TX Bluebonnet]

And what about side dishes? Coleslaw, baked beans and potato salad, not much controversy there;

Baked Beans? Not in Texas!

[Exit148]

BBQ? Finger-licking ribs? I can taste them just thinking of them!!!

Chinese style ----- of course!!!!

Nuthin' beats the smell of some hickory wood smokin' some BBQ...

Stop right there! Dang it, I said stop!

C'mon, Bannerman! Hickory? Nah, dude. Gotta have the mesquite with a little pecan when I throw down. Do not approach my pit with hickory, or it could get ugly.

Sweetened tea a good conversation is fine (as long as we're discussing Mono, the latest info on the IBM/Linux biz plat, and the pitfalls of the RHCE test). ;-)
