The BBQ Song

[The_Fool]

When the meat is properly cooked, the sauce should be little more than an afterthought.

I've seen goat recently on a menu at a nearby restaurant. The first time I've ever seen it on a menu, actually. Wonder how it'll go over here? It's advertised as "A Taste of the Caribbean." Bite sized pieces of goat laced with a blend of curries, thyme, garlic, and spices. Served with fresh baked bread, vegan butter, soup, and salad for the low, low bargain basement price of $15.95.

I'm sorry, but I could have sworn you implied that it is possible to have a vegetarian barbecue. That can't be right, can it? Aren't the words 'barbecue' and 'vegetarian' mutually incompatible? I mean, how the dickens do you slow-smoke tofu?

First, TOFU actually means TO Fuck with U. I, too, have often wondered how to slow smoke tofurky or toporky, but there is a way. You take chicken, cut it in rectangular angles, put some sauce on it and voila! Your veggie friends never know the difference. joking, but I wish I had the balls to do it.

I doubt that it would work with chicken, but . . . . . . . . . if sometime you manage to get hold of a strange-looking but deeeelicious critter called a triggerfish

it's flesh has that slightly rubbery consistancy that smoked tofu has . . . and it tastes better! Heh, heh, heh . . .

You guys are the best! I think I'll get out a bone-in pork roast for tomorrow!

And here's the blackberry BBQ sauce in return:

Blackberry BBQ Sauce
Sunset Magazine had a barbecue contest a few years back and this sauce was the grand prize winner. Not long after, a group of friends got together with ribs from the two best ribs places in the area for a ribs taste test. We got a variety of their sauces and I also made the Sunset recipe. There was no contest. The sauces from the ribs joints couldn't hold a candle to the Sunset blackberry BBQ sauce. This is the best!

This makes 1 1/3 cups:
o 1 1/4 cups blackberries
o 1/4 cup catsup
o 1/4 cup honey
o 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
o 1/4 cup minced ginger
o 1 teaspoon pepper
o 1 or 2 teaspoons hot sauce, to taste
o salt, to taste
Whirl all in a blender until the berries are pureed.
Pour into a 1 quart glass measuring cup. Cover loosely with a microwave-safe plastic wrap, leaving a vent for steam.
Cook in a microwave oven at full power, stirring occasionally until thick. As I recall, it takes about 8 minutes. Might be a little longer. Do it by eye.

Love blackberrys can't weait to try this one.

Done right mutton is pretty good. But you ned to try some Bison/Buffalo- for the people that don;t know the differences. Vison is pretty good too.

OK Just how many of us are going to be in Tampa in Nov.? I going to be there around the last part of Nov myself.

Bison is grand. If you can get some, grass-fed beef is far superior to the corn-stuffed sort. But the best meat in N. America, I believe, is muskox. That's where I'll be in two weeks.

As far as the best meat on four legs? Eland, hands down.
