/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at, care to educate me

>>10144195

Listen dude I'm all for delicious mustard 'cue and the hushpups look good but god damn what an ugly looking plate.

>>10144197
Front: NC barbecue
Back left: hushpuppies
Back right: not quite sure

>>10144211
Huh, is that what hushpuppies are like more North? Further down South, they are approximately sized and shaped like a ping pong ball.

>>10144197
its whole hog chopped pork soaked in a vinegar sauce made with NOTHING MORE THAN

>cider vinegar
>salt
>black pepper
>red pepper flakes
>under no circumstances is any tomato product

>>10144228

Only at long john silvers you Yankee

>>10144195
too plain

>>10144195
North Carolinian barbecue is alright, but the sauces are too sweer.

Me, I prefer hot Texas BBQ that burns your mouth out.

>>10144283
what the

FUCK

does sweer mean

I know you dont mean fucking sweet cause if you mean sweet I will have to come to your house and fuck your shit cause vinegar is not sweet

>>10144195
>What's the best form of barbecue?

The BBQ where you are, with your friends, cooking outdoors like God intended.

>>10144238
How boring.

>>10144297
it's simple but effective

i'm thinking kansas city-style.

tomato-heavy sauce.
cornbread
beans
creamy coleslaw
french fries
pork ribs

>>10144295
my nigga

Nothing like being out in someone's backyard, grilling and smoking bbq while drinking beers with some buddies.

>tfw that special time where it's dark and everyone's full but talking to each other just enjoying each other's company while drinking

It's those times that remind me that life is pretty good.

>>10144195
I like Carolina style cause I like vinegar.

t. Pennsylvanian

>>10144328
>life is pretty good

what absolute spookery

>>10144315
Do not forget the burnt ends.
(also trade the cornbread for some simple toast)

>>10144195
oh thank fuck, OP has good taste. stamey's >>>> literally any other barbeque i've ever had. i prefer the one on battleground ave in GSO over the one on high point road or whatever it's called now

>>10144338
>implying there's just one "carolina style" barbeque

>>10144238
Fuck you, I put all of that plus white vinegar, hot sauce, and sugar in my vinegar sauce, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

>>10144211
It almost looks like cous cous. But that definitely can't be. Hominy?

>>10144338
Hoosier here, I haven't had any of that in 20 years. I used to hate it, but damn do I miss it.

>>10144340
/lit/ plz go

>>10144778
When people from outside of the Carolinas say "Carolina style", they usually mean Eastern North Carolina, because it's the best/most popular kind. However, some people mean a South Carolina mustard sauce.

>>10144211
>>10144796
it's chopped coleslaw. stamey's makes a lexington-style red slaw.

>>10144805
the "best" part of your comment is wrong.

>>10144812
Coleslaw, that makes sense. I've not seen it like that but I'm not surprised either.

>>10144195
I am a fan of all barbecue, but I do prefer mustard-based Carolina style, and pork > beef. That plate looks like shit though.

>>10144812
No it's not.

>>10144824
>and pork > beef
Oh definitely. I'd say pork > chicken > beef > turkey.

>>10144238
oh my god dude you're so wrong. lexington/piedmont style barbecue, which is pictured in OP's post, absolutely uses ketchup

>>10144823
it's easier to eat on a bbq sandwich/bun.

>>10144195
braai > bbq

I really like Carolina style mustard based sauces and pulled pork sandwiches are my go to bbq food.

t. Texan

The Piedmont Virgin vs The Eastern Chad

>>10144874
fuck. fuck. fuck. this analogy works. fuck.

Texas dry rub is better than literally any other style of barbecue
t. guy from New Jersey, aka completely objective

what is dry rub pork ribs with a molasses based sauce?

Whats vinegar heavy but also tomato based?

>>10144195
>chopped instead of pulled
How absolutely vile.

>>10144835
Stamey's uses vinegar-based sauce for the barbeque and coleslaw.

>>10144835
Stamey's uses vinegar-based sauce for their barbeque and coleslaw.

>>10144211
That can't possibly be NCBBQ, it isn't covered with a layer of slimy coleslaw to cover up the horrendous taste of the glop.

>>10144340
Who is that Pepe based upon? I rather like that one.

Idk about all the regional variations, but the most important thing for me by far is

SAUCE

BELONGS

ON

THE

SIDE

I want to season the damn meat to my taste and don't want it completely drenched in sugar syrup

>>10144195
Columbia Style Barbecue
Pulled pork with mustard based sauce

>>10144195
>flyovers have tendies for their bbq

>>10146098
Those are hush puppies you dolt.

>>10146098
>North Carolina
>Flyover
You yanks literally move to the Carolinas

>>10145534
Edgar Allan Pepe?

>>10146296
Yes. We can sell a shack in new york for 500k and buy a 200k palace in north carolina. Then open a mediocre bbq restaurant

>>10145035
Stamey's uses a vinegar and ketchup based sauce for their barbeque and coleslaw. They literally call their coleslaw "red slaw" because of the tomato it contains.

Sauce power rankings

1. Vinegar
2. Mustard
3. Mayo
POWER GAP
9001. Tomato/molasses

>>10144195
First dish that I would agree with "slop o' shit" poster.

>>10144315
Oh I know this, it's Famous Dave's style BBQ

Never had Stamey's.

Troutman's BBQ is fucking god-tier though. The best time of year is church BBQ time. I prefer vinegar instead of sweet tomato/ketchup based sauce.

Hot bbq, fresh coleslaw, vinegar, with a side of hushpuppies. Yum yum.

>>10148096
>dat aesthetic

>>10144195
all's good in the hood, as long as it's not all black on the outside

>>10144195
Don’t care about the region, but it must be made by negroes. No whitey bbq.

>>10148259
White ppl bbq, black people fish fry.

>>10147717
completely true desu

>>10145534
I'm thinking Max Stirner

If I want to insult and irritate an alabaman over BBQ what would you say?

>>10144195
The best bbq comes from a family get together when a chef pays attention to only like 5-6 butts

>>10144293
Eastern style is vinegar only, but western North Carolina is sweeter

>>10149148
Just contend that grilling and barbecue are the synonymous. May God have mercy on you.

>Australian
>love BBQ
>ultimate dream is to invent BBQ dish that becomes recognised as an Australian classic
Anyone else have similar aspirations? I don't even know what I want it to be, so I'm just practicing cooking other traditional things.

>>10144812
Actually Lexingtonian here. Ama

>>10149340
Real barbecue always seemed like something that would take of in Oz. I'd specialize in mutton barbecue, and find a rub and/ or sauce that suits Aussie tastes. So far, Kentucky is the only state that really specializes in it, and we're not one of the top barbecue capitals.

>>10149911

lol this guy. everytime someone mentions australia there's this one guy who pretends to be interested but really just wants to turn the conversation towards america.

autobsessed

>>10149182
Yeah I bet you would be paying attention to a few butts at your family get together, eh, Cletus?

>>10149527
Nobody cares
Actual Columbian here AMA

>>10151337

If this was a thread about drug violence or human trafficking, I would ask you anything. But this is about bbq. Stay in your lane.

>>10151337
this is a thread for barbecue. when we want trafficking advice we'll ask.

>>10144766
>Do not forget the burnt ends.

those should be fucking cheap, but they're not

>>10151352
>>10151358
Columbian not Colombian, as in South Carolina

>>10144315
>Americans eat fairy cakes with their dinner

>>10151378
What the fuck is a fairy cake, you colossal faggot? Are you talking about corn muffins?

>>10151367

My point literally still stands. Sc sucks donkey dick.

>>10151352
I fucking keked.

Columbia is shite!

>>10144328
I drink beers and bbq in my neighbors yard and try to fuck his animals but he gets super pissed off and threatens to shoot me but na na jokes on him i did cummies in his bbq grill

>>10148267
>being this retarded
I hate niggers as much as the next guy but it's a historical fact that they invented southern bbq. Started when slaves got the unwanted shitty cuts of meat that the big house threw out and they figured out how to slow cook that shit until it was like eating gods pussy out. Fucking sperg

>>10151701
>they invented southern bbq.

Fucking ingorant white shit. No native Africans barbecued. What you call "BBQ" are all recipes that are slight variations of Cuban, Haitian, jamaican, and Dominican cuisines.

Fucking niggers steal everything and now they want to steal our history and culture too.

>>10151737
Have you even seen black panther yet? Where do you think cubans and haitians got the idea from? They stole it from the mighty black pharaoh kings who ruled egypt and colonized mars and saturn while white bois were still trying to figure out how to chisel pictures on stones.

>>10151737

Blacks invented everything senpai. If you try to argue, you're a RACIST!

>>10151830
ironically true. Blacks invented being human. WE literally waz kangz

>>10144243
No, you mong. Everywhere but in your retarded area.

>>10151842
Apes invented black people

>>10144195
I too am partial to my local barbecue. It's Santa Maria Style barbecue. Tri-tip was literally invented here. The meat is usually aged, then you put salt, pepper, and garlic salt on it, and cook it over an open red oak flame. It's served with a mild salsa (no sauce, even on ribs), garlic bread, and pinquito beans. The restaurants that serve it also serve crackers, butter, and salsa as an appetizer, as well as a relish tray with vegetables. It's so fucking good, and doesn't just taste like sugar, like most barbecue.

>>10148096
This doesn't look very filling. I would need at least 5 pieces of butter bread to go with this meal

>>10149987
No that’s West Virginia

>>10152563
That doesn't even make sense anon

Austin TX brisket

>>10149527
I'm from the 'boro. Was growing up in Lexington as boring as I assume?

>>10152697
overrated. la barbeque is better.

>>10152897
I don't think it's overrated, it's the best. That being said, la barbecue is nearly as good with a lot less wait time. So I'd say wait in line for Franklin once in a while to experience the best, but go to la barbecue if you're just hungry for something good

>>10152888

Basically. We had a theater, that was kinda nice. In general if we wanted to do anything though we'd drive to Winston or Greensboro. Sometimes Salisbury. I will admit though, Lexington does have some damned good food. Shame nothings open passed 9 except for Applebees.

Also, I went to UNCG.

>>10152983
I'm a UNCG grad myself. I heard Yum-Yums got hit by a car last year.

>>10152992

Ha. They did. Speaking of that area, I always thought Old Town Draught never got the acclaim it deserved. I'm in Raleigh now though. I don't go back very much.

>>10153000
One of my old friends used to be head cook at Old Town. If you went any time between 2005-2013, it's quite possible Rob cooked your meal. Good call getting out, I hear Raleigh and Durham are great these days. I'm in NYC now, I don't regret leaving. Also, nice trips.

>>10148096
>Church BBQ

Aww yeah I love that time of year.
Troutmans is good too. A lot of places usually have both a vinegar and tomato sauce and I mix the two. Need the vinegar tang with a little sweetness added.

>>10144340
the fuck you doing outside of /fit/ dude

>>10149911
>Kentucky
Yep, it's not all it's cracked up to be. This state is lacking so far behind in everything possible that our barbecue can hardly make up for a single thing. We're more of a breakfast state, like, tiny, locally owned diners. Sometimes they're barbecue.
Honestly, the people here are on average fat, inbred, retarded drunks and fuckheads bent on the "YOLO" mindset of destroying this world bit by bit, stuck in the lagging past. Everything that was once good about this place has been killed off by religion and migrants who want a better place to live than the last place they destroyed.

It's still MY fucking home state though. You do what you can I guess.

>>10153128
Don't feel bad most of the south is like that now so you just have to attempt to insulate yourself from it or you'll go fucking bonkers. It amazes me that these loony christians still maintain a stranglehold when they are so outrageously ludicrous.

>>10149340
Sorry mate, Bunnings hardware store already beat you to it.

>>10149911
Won't work mate. BBQ for Aussies is about overcooked pork sausages and steakettes (square hamburger patties) on plain buttered white bread while you drink beer in the park and watch your Nan beat the kids at cricket.
Brisket, ribs n all that isn't popular here.

>>10144293

>he's never heard of sweer potatoes

>>10151983
Ok, that escalated quickly. I’m just saying I prefer black mom & pop bbq over some chain shit, regardless of region.

>>10144195
i usually just do pulled pork with a nice bark or ribs with a medium to light rub and a very light glaze.
are you asking what sauce or accompaniments are best? for me it's box mac and cheese and big can of bush's baked beans. tonight when my shoulder comes off it will be a tad different. roasted potato and acorn squash and maybe steamed cabbage. i might use sweet baby rays for keeping with my theme of great meat and lazy sides.

>>10144195
Louisiana BBQ is best because they actually season it. Texas BBQ is the worst because its so bland and dry.

>>10155345
i've never had true texas style that was executed properly that was dry. they use a lot of pepper, salt and sometimes garlic powder i guess, but it's never under seasoned because the meat speaks for its self.

>>10155345
>Louisiana bbq
Wtf, that isn't a style you swamp rat. When was the last time you heard someone refer to that?

>>10155364
>has no frame of reference because he's never had good bbq to compare it to

>>10144195
hello brother

>>10155378
?
i make good bbq. i've had good bbq from all over.
learn to read.

>>10144238
theres a reason why NC and SC bbq is both disgusting slop

>>10146351
jfc

>>10157418
Wrong.

I live in Arkansas and have tried Texas and Memphis BBQ. Probably not that big of a surprise that I prefer Arkansas BBQ since it's what I know best.

I like them collard greens and cornbread you get with the barbecue down here. It's more homely than beans and slaw. I ain't hatin' though, I do like me some beans and slaw.

We tend to go heavy on the vinegar and spice in our BBQ sauce. I'm not that big a fan of the thick, sweet mollasses BBQ. That stuff belongs on porks ribs and chicken quarters and that's it.

I smoke ribs, pork necks, and ham hocks every summer in my smoker. I make up a big pot of collard greens and we eat on it for days.

Western Kentucky Mutton bbq. Fight me.

>>10158017
My man.

>>10158017
>Fight me
As a bbq gourmand, I've never heard of your delusion of grandeur so I won't fight you , but I will report you as a potential school shooter.

>>10153090
I love church bbq time of year. The air smells smoky, see all your friends and neighbors at the church you haven't seen in a while. Head on over to the other church, compare all the different bbqs. Church bbq twice a year! Sandwich or plate, coleslaw, beans, a cake and a beverage. Mm mm! My dad brought home 30 sandwiches once and mom put them in the deep freezer kek. Sandwiches err day!

Some churches leave more fat, other churches use different wood chips.

I recall I liked Poplar Tent bbq the most. There was a church out near Mooresville with cow pasture in the front, theirs was tasty. Where odell school rd ends, you turn left. Hwy 15 maybe? Idk. Like you're heading to see Ol Dale Earnhardt.

Nostalgia. Wowee

>>10155388
GSO born and raised here, still missing the trays from the Battleground Ave Cook-Out that I used to eat while high out of my mind. Moving to NYC was a mistake in some ways.

>>10144195
i was going to post my bbq from yesterday, but the mods on this board are niggerfags, so i'm not going to participate in any thread for a while.
all of you are objectively wrong. none of you are any good at making bbq. your local bbq place sucks asshole and spits nig cum and watermelon seeds. shitfuck mods ruin good boards.
