Ribs. Pulled pork. Collard greens. Food coma.

That is all.

1. Woo!

[Wapsie B]

2. Gotta have some home baked bread and butter with that.

[SoxFan]

3. It came with corn bread.

Unsweetened tea (this is still new England, after all) to wash it down.

4. I'll take the collards, with tabasco and black pepper of course

hold the pork.

5. What is pulled pork.

I am not a fan of collard greens.

The ribs sound good.

[Dr Fate]

6. Generally, it comes from a whole pig slow roasted in a pit.

The meat is basically flaked off the bone, mixed with a vinegar based sauce, and served with bread or rice.

Certain cuts become the pulled pork, the rest is used for stew or hash.

Probably my favorite food of all time- if done GA, SC or NC style, that is.

9. We do more beef and chicken here.

About the only pork we would bbq or smoke would the ribs.

I think this is more of deep south thing.

Texas is more of mix of styles.

[Dr Fate]

12. It's true- like wise, you never hear of beef brisket in GA. n/t

13. I do like ribs.

Slow cooked.

[Dr Fate]

14. Then try this- my personal recipe:

Dry Rub:

10 or so tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dry parsley
any other spice of choice

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Rub all of the above onto 2 slabs of ribs.

Wrap each slab in foil. Leave an opening at one end, and pour in a half a can of coke- or beer.

Braise the ribs in the oven for 2 1/2 hours. Halfway through, poor in a little more coke or beer.

Take out ribs, and glaze them with remaining liquid left in foil. Grill or broil until carmelized (1o minutes or so)

Toss individual rib pieces in your favorite homeade sauce or a HIGH QUALITY store bought sauce.

You will not be disappointed.

16. I can direct you to some BBQ joints hereabouts

23. Never heard of it but it sounds delish.

8. a big ole platter of Heaven. In the Southeast, barbecue means one thing: pulled pork

everything else is specified as in

barbecued chicken
barbecued ribs


the word barbecue all by itself is pulled pork.

[yellowdogintexas]

7. where did you find pulled pork up there?

I would have killed for pulled pork and good cornbread when I was living there in 1970

10. KC's Rib Shack

It's on 2nd St., a commercial strip on the West Side in Manchester. The "QQ Pladda" has pulled pork, chicken breast, sausage, and ribs, plus choice of sides like "grungy pilaf" (dirty rice), cole slaw, colalrd greens, etc. Throw in some fried pickles as an appetizer, and it's a bit of the South on the west side there.

11. I can do that rather nicely at Dinosaur Barbecue in Harlem!

Plus they have fantastic hot wings and a drunken spicy shrimp - the only peel 'n eat shrimp I love to eat!

[burning rain]

15. Fried greens, that's one Southern specialty I'll never go for.

I'll take the ribs and pulled pork, but really, a token vegetable prepared in a healthy way won't hurt you!

[yellowdogintexas]

25. I never had fried greens just nicely cooked with maybe some ham.

I am sure fried greens exist, I just never had them.

17. Barbecue sauce: Spicy or sweet?

edit to correct spelling

[SoxFan]

18. Both

At this place, they give you a beer six pack carton with several different sauces, including a Carolina-style vinegar based sauce, a sweet apple flavored one, a mild, and a spicy.

[Dr Fate]

24. Just curious- is there a mustard based sauce?

Which would be the standard in SC....

19. Damn! Now I'm Hungry.

Heading out in a little while to pick up some chicken bog. Yum!

[applegrove]

20. What is pulled pork? I'm seeing it everywhere these days.

[Dr Fate]

21. Everyone is finally catching on- see post #6 above.

I've loved it since I was kid.

Pulled pork on white bread is the most delicious sandwich you will ever have! Adding pickels & slaw is encouraged, but not essential!!!

22. I guess your soul is well-fed now! n/m
