We had 80 odd people at the show in September so a whole pig could well be worth it. I've just got to convince a couple of people that barbecue is more than just burgers and sausages. This is definitely only the beginning, especially now there's so much less effort involved in getting a good result.Burgers and sausages is a cookout or grilling not barbecue. I learned that when I lived in Florida. If you invited people over for a barbecue and just had stuff on the grill you started praying that no one has a smoker big enough to fit you in!
Indeed.
We just had this discussion at work the other day because we had a few northerners said that barbecue was burgers and hotdogs on a grill! :hehe: As we reside in North Carolina, I was quick to point out that is grilling and not barbecue.
Barbecue in the south is about slow and low where grilling is about fast and hot. We southerners love to smoke our foods, especially pulled pork regardless of the seasoning. Other types of meat such as brisket, turkey, sausage and more are traditional outside of our state, but we have adapted it because it's still good barbecue that's slow and low.
