Why I Still Love the USA Despite Everything.

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

I am talking about the use of the abbreviation, The Bar-B-Q term is from Texas, earliest recorded use was by a butcher there in the 1930's, but rumor has it that is was introduced by the BQ Ranch earlier on. Surely it is also meant as a shortened marketing term for the barbecue, which we all know as being introduced from Spanish.

I've been told by a quite few Texans that genuine BBQ has no sauce. What do you think.
Sauce or no sauce? :stir:

According to Harry. Rubs only. Harry has has one of those monster smokers towed behind his oversized Dodge dually 4 dr.diesel p.u. Yes it has a gun rack. Smoker looks like a big fat black pig. P.U. has a slide in camper that handles the dispensation & $ collection. I'll see if I still have a pick of his rig. He does all kinds of events. His brisket is best I've ever eaten. :bow:

I like rubs, sauces & marinates.

Bar-B-Q depends on the part of the US your in/from. Some are just rubs, some a smothered in sauce. What it comes down to is, its all good. Myself I like the way "Famous Dave's" and I do it. A rub/marinate, smoked over the fire and put your own sauce on it. I also don't care for the 'falling off the bone" overcooked style. I like it firm on the bone with lots of flavor and juices. To each his/her own.

I beg to differ. I do a 24 hour Evan Williams Whiskey/spice marinade that is to die for. (I also use the Famous Dave's style 'Devil's Spit" sauce after.) BTW/ Evan Williams was the first distiller in Kentucky. Since 1783. Jack Daniels is swill compared to Evan Williams.

Starbuck's. Making people believe that coffee from cheap beans that are over-roasted and over priced are worth mortgaging your house to buy. In the early '70's I bartended for a while in a bar that was in the same old brownstone building as the original Starbuck's. No one ever thought coffee sales would take off like they did.
