I make my own barbecue sauce, tomato base, add blackstrap molasses, vinegar, Tabasco, spices.

If it ain't pork it ain't barbecue and Memphis is the barbecue capitol of the world. That's why the barbecue championships are held yearly in the Bluff City.

Oh jeez. Another treatise on art by a housepainter. Leaves out any mention of "barbacoa" in his in depth treatise. Goes downhill from there.

[PianoMan]

His French analysis was interesting - "barbe" meaning hair and "queue" meaning tail.

Yes, you made me hungry. We BBQ a lot here in California, but my transplant Texan hubby says there is nothing like Texas BBQ!

[groanup]

"Hungry?"

Hell yes.

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

BS, my man - pure BS. :)

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

"...Memphis is the barbecue capitol of the world."

I don't know if Mempho is the barbecue capitol of the world but the Rendezvous is the best food in the world.

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

Eastern North Carolina (minced) with vinegar based sauce is the best by far, mustard base and other blends are tolerable to varying degrees with the exception of Texas so-called BBQ, which is made of cow meat and therefore impossible to be true BBQ.

A gentleman who used to shine shoes for everyone in Atlanta, "Dr. Shine", once instructed me how to cook ribs:

Slow heat for many hours. Stickem with a fork occasionally. Pour Coca Cola over 'em occasionally. Throw a couple of onions over them occasionally. Turn them occasionally. Put a little sauce on them occasionally.

Any good sauce recipes to share with Freepers? This thread is making me really, really hungry.
