American Food not actually that great

12. FINALLY! Someone who understands. :)

Actually I will eat pulled pork but only when we visit my wife's family in Georgia - they will roast a whole hog in a pit and then do all the pulling and sauce making themselves. But I still don't call it BBQ.

BBQ is beef brisket smoked overnight on mesquite wood. That's the way Micky at Webb's BBQ in Duncanville, TX cooked it when I was in High School and that's the way I want it now. If you can throw on some kielbasa from New Braunfels and a bucket of Shiner Bocks on ice you got yourself a meal.

Here in Florida I do have a couple decent places that understand how to do brisket (and quite a number more who think they do but fail miserably) but the overwhelming majority of BBQ places are eastern/Carolina style. I'd rather have dumb pulled pork than someone who thinks they know a brisket but have no idea what they are doing.

My dear alarimer, we must part ways on chili. No beans in my chili. (unless by vegetables you mean a little onion and/or chili/jalapeño/some other hot peppers).
