Latin.

I love red slaw. Cabbage, cider vinegar, ketchup, salt, pepper, spicy stuff.

I don’t disagree.

In this context that would be called grilling. BBQ is also a term that is used, but not when you talk about Texas, Kansas, and NC. We have that too. You wouldn’t cook a ribeye this way. It’s just different in this convo.

Fried chicken is also relevant here, and the Korean KFC and KBBQ are foods that deserve lots of respect IMO.

Who am I kidding? I just like good food.

Can you share what neoliberalism or elitist progressivism means to you?

I understand how to parse the words, but it’s just a nonsense label to ideas you don’t like. You also can’t really label any group as both “poor” and “elitist” at the same time.

I agree with you on the brisket. I like it best as pastrami.

Yeah. There’s no chance in hell that anyone in NC or SC sauced your meat.

NC is really a pretty liberal and educated state, and continued urban population growth is likely to continue the trend.

It’s just got a lot of rural areas and the GOP locked them down during the 90s

Mustard is SC. Still good, but not traditional NC.

My guy, you need to learn more about cooking.

Acids have a brightness that is excellent to cut fats. That’s how you make a salad dressing (fat, acid, emulsifier, flavor)

The BBQ is fatty pig. The sauce is acid and flavor. That’s just balancing flavors.

You do usually mop with acid, but it’s not a problem to add some fresh. That’s the same as squeezing a lime on a taco or a lemon on an oyster.

I’ve always heard this from inferior BBQ styles.

NC has a “whole hog” style, but the sauces are the real difference.

Eastern NC is vinegar and peppers. Western NC is vinegar and peppers and ketchup. South Carolina is vinegar and peppers and mustard.

You see the difference? That’s why NC has an official Eastern and Western style whole hog bbq.

As a person who’s ancestors came to the US in the standard 19th century poor European peasant diaspora,

Screw your stupid rules.

(sorry to be cynical, but…)

Heh, good luck.

If only there were serifs so I know what you love.

It’s almost like we should keep government out of our lives unless there is a good reason.

What I thought was a conservative value when I was growing up.
