If it ain't pork it ain't barbecue...

BS, my man - pure BS. :)

And "ain't" ain't a word.

I'll have you know that ain't most certainly is a word and that beef ain't barbecue.

I agree. Here in Kansas City, if it moves it's a candidate for barbecue. In my time I've had barbecued ribs, pork shoulder, tenderloin, ham, chicken and turkey, beef, sausage, lamb, fish, deer, and phesant. Prime rib bones are great, burnt ends are a local specialty in some places. Those who limit their barbecue to pork or beef don't know what they're missing.

You stand corrected! Ain't is a word. But of course, we all know it's not good grammar. And two negatives make a positive. But my expression was purely a colloquialism. :-) Memphis style is still the best barbeque!

Ain't is a word and the author's right. You can call it whatever you want, but it ain't BBQ if if ain't pork
