[Inchworm]

from the boiling vinegar.

I wonder if anyone has ever died tyhat way. It took me a bit to get my breath back

That is all...

1. Is this where I call Carolina BBQ the Bigfoot of BBQ

because it doesn't exist, and then someone else says Texas BBQ is just broiling with fancy ketchup, and then someone else brags about St Louis BBQ, and then us vegetarians pipe in about BBQ tofu and seitan, then we get out hammers and axes and start flailing? 'Cause those threads are always fun!

Oh yeah, glad you survived.

6. I like 'em all

but for pork... Carolina please

16. who the hell brags about St. Louis BBQ?

K.C. is where its at, baby!

There are three major schools and one minor:

Kansas City
Tejas
Carolinas

Memphis

2. While we're doing PSAs,

if you've been slicing jalapenos, wash your hands before urinating. Afterwards, too, but that's another subject.

5. Hot sex would need a handwashing too

I can still hear the screams...

3. Mmm....Carolina BBQ sauce.

Mustard or no mustard?

7. No mustard

I did slip in some prepared horseradish for sport.

I really need some ideas for using horseradish. I love the stuff!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Still good....

....although my all time favorite is South Carolina style.....mustard, brown sugar, cayenne and vinegar, baby!

I once made myself a rack of ribs, marinated and glazed in SC mustard sauce.....best ribs I ever tasted. All homemade myself. One of my crowning achievements in life.

9. I like your use of horseradish

10. we have a recipe where we deglaze a pan with apple cider vinegar

11. I saw this guy named Ed on the food network prepare NC pork ribs.

I was on some show where that chef Bobby Flay drives around looking for local favorite eateries and challenges the owner to a cooking contest on TV, like a total asshole. So he drives from NYC to NC to find this Ed guy who is famous locally for his barbecued pork ribs. Ed must have expected him because he did not say, who the fuck are you? So when Flay tells Ed they are having a rib "throw down," Ed opens the register and pulls out a thick stack of twenties from that morning and said, "You lose, shithead!"

12. Move west, man, that Carolina stuff is not edible. Gotta get to KC, or Memphis, or Austin

13. Ketchup based BBQ? Boring.

Not saying it can't be tasty, but boring.
