Dear Mr. Islamofacist

Today would be a bad day for you to blow me up as I just finished a couple of these



for lunch, and we both know you won't get your rivers-o-honey and 72 virgins if you come into contact with pork.

That's right folks, not only is Eastern North Carolina the only true Barbeque, it's a terrorist deterrent. And y’all thought I was crazy for spouting off about Life, Liberty and Eastern North Carolina Barbeque for all.

Sooper Seekrit Message to the LLama Butchers: Now that's what I call a sandwich.

Yum!

Despite advice from some very credible people to reconsider my plans, I will be house hunting in Charlotte in the next few weeks and if the above is part of the local culinary attractions, it is a very potent selling point.

Yum!

Would it mean a declaration of war if I were to say that the sandwich looks like it needs cheese, and lettuce on it? I thought so. JUST kidding! Really.

I notice there is absolutely NO sauce on that pork.

So...

Do you *really* want to get into a bar-b-que war? With no sauce at all?

I have refrained from retaliation because I am out of the country, without access to my best weapons... err, recipes, and because you seemed to be unarmed...

But...

If you do want to play, I'll be happy to defend the honor of true Memphis bar-b-que.

;-P

Looking good. It could use some slaw and perhaps a hush puppy or 2.

The thing that I find incredible is that there are actually people outside the GREAT STATE OF MISSISSIPPI that think they know anything about barbeque. I bet y'all don't even weigh more than 250 pounds. Lightweight posers. Meet me in Greenville, MS and I'll feed you real food.

HAHAHAHHA. Now THAT is funny. Though it does look kinda gross to my vegetarian sensibilities.

Memphis bbq? Uh. No. :-P

Carolina BBQ is the One True Way. The guys in memphis don't cook their pork long enough, and it doesn't taste that good so they have to slather it in that nasty tomato sauce crap. If your BBQ was cooked well and tasted like, well, BBQ, you wouldn't need all that sauce.

Now, that being said, I don't know what to make of the sub roll there.. Everyone knows you eat good Carolina BBQ on white bread.. or with no bread at all.

NO BREAD?

What are the locally preferred side dishes?

Posted by: Seth at October 3, 2005 07:16 PM

Well some version of cole slaw and brunswick stew. The type of slaw you get depends on which area of eastern NC you are in.. Near Lexington you get a sweet & sour red style slaw. Further east (round raleigh) you get a regular milk & mayo type thing. Me, I dont like slaw, so i just get Brunswick stew or fries.
