And the crazy thing is that there are another 3 or 4 American styles of BBQ that are just as good as Texan BBQ. And then there's South American BBQ, such as Brazilian BBQ. Europe is so far behind in the BBQ game it's not even funny.

Brisket has a very interesting story. Brisket comes from the lower chest of the cattle and as such is a very dense and hard muscle and was considered a 'throw away' cut because no one could cook it. Well the ranch-hands/cowboys that tended the herds asked the owners if they could have it and they discovered that if you cooked it at a very low heat (ie smoke cooking) over a long period of time the fat would render and soften the meat.

they did it just right too. Barbecue in America is food that's supposed to take an entire afternoon to eat, it's as much an excuse to hang out with your friends as it is to eat a meal. It probably looks weird to a lot of europeans, to just get a huge platter of food and then just go at it with your hands... but yeah, that's kind of the point. There's no ceremony, there's no etiquette, it's just you, the food and the company for a couple hours

[@point-five-oh6249]

Yeah, Georgia ain't much different, though we tend to favor soul food more than BBQ. You ever come to GA, check out Pralines (Kinda like pecan cookies), Divinity (A pecan meringue dessert), and some soul food, especially nice greens that have been slow cooked in leftover meats, typically a bit of pork fat, my favorite are the mustard greens, though they smell awful, their taste is what matters really.

I’m a Texan currently in the middle of a month in the UK. Their idea of BBQ is what we know of as grilling and every piece of meat is well done. A good BBQ or Tex-Mex restaurant would make a killing here, provided you could get Health and Safety to approve your cooking methods. Lol

A Texas BBQ next to a fish and chips place would make a mint. People get tired of the same things over and over. Give them something different and business would flourish by word of mouth.

[@CristiNeagu]

Yeah, it's kinda weird having a BBQ in your back yard in the UK... We're the only ones in our neighbourhood doing it. And I won't cut corners. I am not doing gas. that's not a BBQ. Charcoal or gtfo. Trouble is the smoke. And they have laws in the UK against smoke. So it's out of the question to smoke a brisket for 12 hours, Texas style. It's such a shame... British people would be a heck of a lot more fun if the government would stop making their lives difficult with nonsense rules and laws.

[@CtrlAltRetreat]

​@@CristiNeagu I can kind of get it in the city, but how about in the country? I'd be surprised if they restricted people where there's no real issue to complain about. I mean how do you clear your undergrowth if you can't run a burn pile?

[@CristiNeagu]

@@CtrlAltRetreat I think you're supposed to compost. Not sure, I'd love to have an undergrowth to have that problem. The law applies everywhere. The difference is that in the country side people won't be as bothered by your smoke so they won't report you. And they might even agree with you.

Y’all, it was as good as it was in my dreams, as good as this Jolly video and all the other videos report, and I am happy to say it was so straight up delicious on its own merit, that I 100% forgot about that big, fat bottle of bbq sauce on the table, never touching it once.

Very true, a friend if mine from Chicago visited me one summer. I smoked a brisket and some chicken, along with some polish sausages. After some hours, he told me I had forgotten to buy bbq sauce. I told him I happened to have a bottle of kraft bbq sauce that was about 2 years old, collecting dust. He couldn't get over the idea that we don't consider sauce a part of the bbq process, or, at least I don't. I asked him if he grilled his hot dogs already smothered in musterd? No. Ok do you grill your hamburger patties slathered in mayo? No, of course not. Why not? Because its gross, those are condiments. I said, Exactly. That's why Texas bbq is cooked by smoking, and served with sauce, on the side. Its a condiment. Folks that slather bbq sauce on the meat while it cooks are trying to hide a nasty flavor in the meat. In Texas, we want you to taste the flavor and juicyness of the meat, then if you want, dip it in sauce. You'll also be asked to sit at the kids table.
