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.

That's a very narrow viewpoint in addition to being incorrect. The best barbecue in the world is found in Kansas City, and the most prestigious barbecue championship is held in connection with the American Royal. But y'all keep trying, hear?.

Here. Read and learn about KC barbecue .

I make my own barbecue sauce...

Recipe please?

[Dog Gone]

The term itself may derive from a French term meaning something to the effect of "head to tail."

Oh please. Barbecue is the exact opposite of French cooking.

Put a snail on the barbie... and don't forget the white sauce with just a dash of capons.

In Texas, barbequed meat is usually served with sauce on the side if there is any sauce at all. My favorite restaurant in College Station (I can t remember its name) served half a raw onion, a 4-oz. slice of cheddar cheese, a pickle, and 8 ounces of whatever meat you wanted, all on a piece of butcher paper. They gave you a knife (no fork) and a jar of their own barbeque sauce

That would've been Tom's BBQ, and what you describe (the meat, cheese, etc) was the aggie special. Sadly, Tom's went out of business a few years ago after being bought out by someone not skilled in the art.

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

Try this . It's a link to the Kansas City BBQ Forum. Plenty of great ideas there.

Etymology: American Spanish "barbacoa"...

Around these parts, "barbacoa" is cheek meat from a cow. I've eaten "tacos de barbacoa", and found them tasty. Well, OK, they gave me horrible gas for a couple of days...

The best barbecue in the world is found in Kansas City

Only when it's been shipped there from Llano, TX... :)

Maurice's in Columbia is really good too. I buy his carolina gold sauce and its the best in my opinion.

[wimpycat]

Naw, it's BBQ.

Here's a picture of what I had the other night.
It was a couple of slices of boneless beef ribs, the blue Pizza Hut jug behind the M1 is full of ice tea.

The M1 was made in July of 1942, the knife is a WWII U.S. Navy MK1 with sheath, the cigar was a Cohiba Siglo III (my last).

On the other site guys post pics of their guns and dinner. It's fun. And it keeps the wife's guessing.

BS, my man - pure BS. :)

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.

As far as the word origin goes....I going with "barbacoa" from the Spainards experiences with the Caribs and Arawaks....as in their cooking in the ground technique.

I refuse to consider the French "barbe-a-queue" unless it can be proven they were Huguenot refugees and not slipper wearers.
