Glad you are interested in trying the recipe. Forgot to mention, I usually substitute brown sugar for the granulated sugar. We like it extra spicy, so I usually add a few dried red chili peppers to the crock pot.

So South Carolina is 40% moron now. Oh well, too bad.

[Clara Lou]

Get real.

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.

[pcottraux]

Perry, then the agriculture commissioner of Texas, sampled the Carolina barbecue and declared, "I've had road kill that tasted better than that."

(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.

[SoJoCo]

On this matter I agree with Perry completely. I guess I’d better not run for president then.

[McGavin999]

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.

[Fiji Hill]

Because of your recipe, I added “cookery” as a keyword.

Really?? I think you've been hearing voices.

You underestimate our neighbors south of the border in Baja Carolina. They plop yellow mustard in pork cooked to a mushy pulp and call it barbecue, so the percentage is much higher, lol.

I was wondering if anyone would respond to that angle.

Sorta like saying, “Tastes like the northbound end of a southbound mule”

How would ya know?! ;-)

[Sacajaweau]

I’ve had squirrel...ONCE!!!!!

Perry: "I've had road kill that tasted better than that."

That is a rude and heartless statement.

[RegulatorCountry]

Oh, my mistake. Y'all stew armadillo roadkill with chili peppers, it apparently hides the skunkiness. On the halfshell is reserved just for fresh caught armadillos.

Seriously, though, have you never wondered why armadillos were called “Hoover Hogs” in Texas? It's because y'all ate ‘em, lol. Go to Google images and looked for them being barbecued in Texas.

I honestly think it's safe to say that the roadkill Governor Perry has eaten was armadillo.

[RegulatorCountry]

I’ve heard it tastes like rabbit. Both being a form of rodent, that makes some sort of sense.

[Clara Lou]

That is a rude and heartless statement.
You are far too sensitive to have to live in this world if that's really how you feel.

[Scotsman will be Free]

That’s North Carolina you moron.

[magritte]

Sorry for the typo. Thanks for the kind correction!

Asshat.

[Squantos]

Sweet.....
