MRPIGS.      MRNOT.      OSAR.    LIBMRPIGS.      Two West Virginians talking about pigs.Figure it out 

Them are pigs.  Them are not pigs.  Those are pigs. The last one, maybe I'd know of I was standing there but, nope not a clue now.

In the South, I expect slaw on my BBQ, red BBQ sauce for real south and yellow sauce from the northern south (NC), cold sweet tea, chili and onions on my hot dog, and of course, "Bless your little heart". Bless Your Little Pea-Pickin' Heart has a slightly more intimate meaning of course. On some far out occasion there can be a sliver of sarcasm if used just right.

Went to visit friends in Maryland once. We took the boat out on the wuter. They were disgusted when I offered them some boiled peanuts. They eat pecons up there, not pecans.

I once ventured out west and the Montana rancher asked if I wanted a pop. I thought he was gonna hit me. It was just before lunch.

[doc henderson]

here it is pop, and in Albany it is Soooda.  I went to a patient's room once in NY, and he had two 2-liter bottles of coke and orange ???  I said to him, looks like you got some pop.  he looks at me like I was stupid and said, it is sooda.

Doc,

   Where I grew up it was Co-Cola. When you asked for a Co-Cola the vendor would ask what kind you wanted and you'd say "RC or Nehi Grape" or whatever brand and flavor you wanted.

    Dad said when he was a kid anybody getting a car would say they were going to get a new Ford even though it might be a Packard , Dodge or a Chevy. A tissue was always a Kleenex and a refrigerator was a Frigidaire. In the UK people still Hoover the rug.

Yellow mustard-based sauce is a South Carolina thing.  No mustard colored sauce for BBQ here.  I've eaten and cooked BBQ all over our great North State (NC), yellow sauce is the exception not the rule.  The great regional BBQ wars are fought annually here, who wins is a matter of taste - tomato based (central and western NC) or vinegar based (generally east of Raleigh).  It's a love it or hate it thing.  Few people land in the middle.

Here's a little pig I cooked a while back.  We often cook two at a time on our double cooker.  Hardwood roasted/smoked,  my BBQ is Sam Jones style - of the Skylight Inn and Sam Jones BBQ restaurant in Ayden and Winterville, NC respectively.


Sawmilling is important but BBQ is importanter! 

[doc henderson]

looks great.

[WV Sawmiller]

  And I understand BBQ in the south means pork, out west it is beef and up north it may well be chicken.

    I prefer the tomato based and not the vinegar mustard BBQ but just so I don't hurt anybody's feelings I'd probably eat either in a pinch.

[TroyC]

Ted, I guess I stand corrected on the sauce. I always thought the mustard sauce was from north of us (Greenville, SC). My friend from here in Florida orders it from somewhere in NC. I don't remember mustard sauce when I was a kid. Guess I land in the middle, I'll take either, with slaw please!

[Resonator]

We drink pop here.  
If you go to the tavern you get "pop with the foam on top" or "barley pop".  

In a pinch you could call it soda-pop, but if you just ask for soda you might get a box of Arm & Hammer.

[SawyerTed]

@TroyC as you probably know BBQ is serious business!  The sauce rivalry is like UNC vs Duke vs NC State, or Alabama vs Auburn, or Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State, or Washington vs Oregon ... you get the picture! 

Here we differentiate

At least around here, the term BBQ is always pork. PERIOD.  It's a noun   It's not an activity/party for cooking burger, dogs, brats or whatever on a charcoal or propane grill.  THAT is a "cookout."  If we are going to host a cookout we might say, "Hey!  y'all come about 5:00 we are going to grill out."  Everyone knows that's burgers and hot dogs.  Or "we are going to the lake Saturday, we'll be grilling out.  Come by and eat!"

BBQ Chicken and BBQ Beef are terms we use to differentiate chicken or beef versus just BBQ (pork).

Chicken usually has a tomato based sweetened sauce and caramelized a bit when cooking  - think Sweet Baby Rays style.  Usually beef has something similar but "doctored" with some pepper (a little heat)  of some kind and maybe some other spices.  I usually make my own sauces - mild and hot.

I have a cousin who is a BBQ judge in Upstate South Carolina.  They fight about sauce too.  The yellow sauce isn't bad, I just don't love it.  My aunt used to make it and I've tried to make some a couple of times. 

Badmouthing somebody's BBQ is almost like badmouthing their mama! Some guys keep a fresh can of whoopatz on the shelf just for that!

[SwampDonkey]

It's soda, soda pop, pop, spritz, cola, whatever comes to mind. We're multi-lingual. 

Most of the time it was always just pop around here. I have not bought much in years besides ginger ale once in a blue moon. 

[TroyC]

Keep mine on the shelf also. Hope I never have to use it

[Machinebuilder]

and in the BBq sauce war don't forget the Alabama white sauce.

Im not a fan of most white sauces

East TN is deficient on BBQ. I have seen people putting frozen butts on the smoker. Ive been told "I don't have time to rub my meat.

When I moved to TN I lived in a small own of Pulaski, there was a fantastic little drive thru joint near my apartment.
Great pork, Ribs, turkey, ham, and really good sides.

I have had the best Brisket in Texas, good sausages too.

I have gotten ok smoking butts on my Big green Egg.

If you're in Tn try the smoked bologna

 All these regional accents, and I haven't even introduced you all to the Native accent. One thing I don't get about Native accents, is that the myriad of North American Native languages were markedly different, as different as Spanish, Czech, and Finnish, but any Natives I've encountered across the country and ones I've heard on TV in Canada or Alaska sound remarkably similar. 

 We have been watching "Life Below Zero" and then the one Native guy on there sounds like he could be right from my neighborhood.

Ted, what you said is spot on! The yellow mustard sauce is more a Columbia, SC and low country preference. I do BBQ chicken with that sauce and it's "smack your mama" good. Pork, my preference is always vinegar based, with the exception being tomato based when finishing ribs. I'm making myself hongry
