It is best to not argue with the locals about their barbecue. Wherever you are, theirs is the best in the world.
Country Tavern is a regular for us. Only about 10 minutes away.
People are paying better attention to this election. It’s silly, though.
If you pack the meat in ice and rock salt and keep changing it out until the melt water is clear, feral pig barbecue is quite good.
Without that treatment, the meat will stink up your refrigerator -- forget trying to eat it!
Ew doesn’t sound very appetizing...sounds like river catfish.
You dog! I’d be looking like Guv Christie if I was 10 minutes from CT.
What a bunch of BS. I never heard of having pork at a Barbecue till I visited Florida. And Texas is famous for their Barbecues so it seems N.C. is a bit thin skinned and I bet it did taste like road kill. Grow up N.C..
LOL I agree with you. It is really reaching to even bring this up.
We slow cook it in the oven. As long as it’s a small one, it’s prety good.
Cleaning the SOB is the nasty part.
Heathen!
I understand that the Perry made the statement in response to some good nature ribbing going on by NC delegates, IOW, it was typical barbecue trash talking. But the media — especially the NC media — will do anything to sour a possible GOP candidate so as to protect their favorite Marxist.
Well, the Keepers of the Sacred Barbecue in eastern North Carolina call the mustard stuff “baby poop.” The vinegar-based sauce is called “Nectar of the Gods,” it’s perfect combination of Vinegar and spices a closely guarded secret as in keep with the holy barbecue scriptures.
Calling what you cook “whole hog roast,” as if cooking the whole hog is something special, demonstrates typical Texas ignorance regarding true barbecue. While many of us do make barbecue from pork shoulders in our slow cook grills at home, babies who can’t even speak yet know that true barbecue comes from whole pig, usually blessed upon them at what the Holy Knights of the Pitlore named a “pig picking.”
At the same time, we are not food snobs. We like the beef that Texans cook and it is truly delicious — but as true barbecue experts the world over know, barbecue comes from a pig, and only pork can be called barbecue without insulting God and throwing up in your mouth a little.
In the spirit of cultural exchange — and in taking pity upon those like you who have apparently never experienced the blessing of true barbecue — I give you this gift. Take off your hat and bow in reference to the one true barbecue. (You can thank me later.)
The Gospel According to Ed Mitchel begins at 6:10 in the video.

By the way, the Roast, where they serve hotdogs in the first part of the video, is about three blocks from where I’m sitting right now. The Pit is about six blocks away.
And when the Romans first came to England the indigenous “Britons” were painting themselves blue and howling at the moon.
It is not your fault that you were born in a “barbecue” backwater, but enlightenment comes once you’ve tasted the one true barbecue, eastern NC style — the Mount Oinkulus of the barbecue gods.
