I have not tried to BBQ anything yet but plan to try in the near future but from what I have read in the forum one of the things that bbq does is render the fat. IMO pork gravy tastes better than beef gravy so it would make sense to me that pork bbq would be a little more flavorful. It is also my opinion that if it is good bbq it really doesn't matter that much and if he likes your ribs so much that he asked you to some for him then it seems logical that he would like your pulled pork as well and should not say no to it just because he is from Texas.
New England people tend to be proud as well and as far as I know we are not noted for any type of bbq but that does not mean we can't enjoy it as much as the next person.Not intending to offend any of our Texas brethren but since moving to Northwest Louisiana I have learned that Texas folk is proud folk. They LOVE being from Texas and are very proud of anything from Texas. And in some cases saying your favorite "something" is "something" not from Texas is by default insulting Texas. Even though you never said as much. Proud folk I say. Very proud. :boxing:
That being said I seem to try more variety than other parts of the country where they might have a strong loyalty to one animal, cut, or technique.
Tofu stuffed avocados?:twitch:

Lived in Texas for about 3 years. Had a friend from Alaska there and he told a true Texan, who was bragging about the size of the state, that they could make 2 states out of Alaska and both would still be bigger than Texas. The texan was not amused. :biggrin1:
Growing up I thought BBQ was grilling hotdogs and hamburgers or meat with bbq sauce on it. Boy was I mistaken. Now I live in the Carolina's and I KNOW that pork is the only true BBQ. :wink:
There is a great book called "Holy Smoke" that talks all about Carolina Q as a religion and for some it is. They even talk of the mustard sauce heresy, which I subscribe to. It is tongue-in-cheek but holds a lot of truth about regional views of bbq. I'm with others who like most other types of BBQ. I may have my favorites and razz people about their regional variations but, if you like it, eat it. Although if what a guy at work fed me is West Virginia BBQ I'll pass. But I think he just didn't know how to season it properly.
It would be a lot like asking you to try out a "War Eagle" avatar on your account here for a while
It's comical when you give someone real smoked BBQ for the first time. It's almost like a religious experience.
