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.
