@@Mrhandfriends what kind of Southern BBQ? East or West NC ? Or both?

[@Mrhandfriends]

@ giant Dino ribs and pulled pork ! (Not whole hog) Witt a nice vinegar and sweet sauce !! 🤤

[@mildredpierce4506]

If the friends live in or close to London, they could have experienced Kansas City style barbecue at a place called Prairie fire but it went out of business because not enough customers to keep them in business. Additionally, their expenses became too high, and I believe they said Brexit had something to do with it.

[@TheBongReyes]

Many foreigners fail in love with American BBQ. But you learned to cook it yourself. To me thats the best way to show appreciation of our cuisine.

[@cdpgeorge]

The thing about American BBQ is it's actually simple and do able. It's not like other cuisines that require you to blow up skin and tie a knot or roll a piece a meat into a dough. It can be very simple and yet you need to trial and error it.

[@lylemorrison9811]

[@AC-ni4gt]

Where will they find a turkey?

[@kate2create738]

@@AC-ni4gtI think Europeans do get turkey, generally more for Christmas though, but I think turkey is an option there.

[@protorhinocerator142]

Definitely. The key is to invite lots of people and have everyone bring a covered dish. What we do around here is break it down by protein, side dish, stuffing/dressing, dessert, etc. Then have people sign up for them and set the ratios right so you don't end up with 23 green bean casseroles. You may have to provide recipes if they're not used to this. Just throwing any old thing together can be fun but it's better when organized.

[@chrismansfield310]

Do a fried turkey for Thanksgiving, you'll love that too, just becareful defrost the bird and make sure most water is gone before putting it in the grease.

[@intallpines]

Very interesting to include pals. Yes, please bring them back for some of Ms. H's deserts too! BLYA! TCGB! xoxox

[@toddellison5128]

First time my Egyptian neighbor asked me if I could help him cook a brisket for his friends (20lb) I told him sure. At 2 am I rolled my 450lb offset smoker over to his house and knocked on his backdoor, waking him up. He was like, "What the hell are you doin." I said, "Get your ass up, it's time to start the pit!" We got it started and I whooped out the first beer at 3am. He had no idea what he was asking for. LOL You're doing great job, Mr. H. My family is from Luling / Lockhart area in Central Texas and you are honoring our cooking style well!

[@Mrhandfriends]

3am beer is legendary status !!! 🍻 👍🏻 ❤️

[@troysarnowski5213]

I will put 18 even 24 hrs on a brisket!!! Cold and hot smoke pecan and oak charcoal!!!! Fork tender!!!

[@leafiiloran]

Can you help me come cook one next?? That sounds like a blast! 😂

Bring them back for some biscuits and sausage gravy. Cheese grits, banana pudding and peach cobbler.

BBQing with the boys, that's why we do it, I can't count how many times I've had my dudes over for BBQ and was left with nothing but plates of bare bones and big old smiles. Love to see it Mr. H! You should have them come back and do some Pork Ribs and a brisket.

[@ellenjones7819]

I would love to see them come again for more BBQ. Next time serve it with some southern side dishes and a dessert.

[@Human_2.0]

Mr H, my brother from a British mother I'm telling you; you've come a very long way, spectacular performance, very well done. I'm sure your neighbors hate you because they get to smell it but they don't get to eat it 😂😂😂😂

[@odiebryer2144]

As soon as I saw that you had bought that smoker, I knew that you would be hosting some of your friends for American BBQ! I thought you did a great job but you know from all your research and such that each time that you fire that thing up and put some kind of meat on it, that is another learning experience and you will get better and better. I'm proud of both you and Mrs. H and you are both very good ambassadors for American cuisine. Next time, add some sides or desserts like peach cobbler, etc! There are a lot of easy recipes for peach cobbler, along with other dishes online. I have a lot of faith in Mrs. H's ability to perfect them. Now . . . Good eatin' American style!!! ❤❤❤🐂🐖🐷♥️♥️♥️🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧♥️♥️♥️🏇

Mr. H, I believe you wowed your friends!

[@Nimbus1701]

Just incredible. I am continually impressed by how much, how fast, and how much effort you guys put into all this. The food looks great and now it really makes sense when you hear that cliche about food being "prepared with love." Keep making Texas proud! Edit: it isn't necessarily a bad thing if you mess up or don't get it right for your friends or neighbors. If they will really be honest with you (either on camera or not) and offer critique along with where you feel you mess up, it will only show them through their taste and the texture of food as it improves, and you'll absolutely know when you nailed it through your experiences and through your practice.

[@danielluera5932]

[@patricialavery8270]

Bit of a pickle note. Americans mostly eat dills, often Kosher Dills, and semi-sweets like Bread and Butter pickles. Gherkins is a specific type of cucumber that tends to be quite sweet. Cornichons are natural fermented pickles soured by lactic acid like sauerkraut not vinegar
