Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 1,627 | This BBQ thing is quite interesting. Reminds me of when I moved to Virginia Beach after spending my first 28 years in the backwoods of Maine. BBQ in Maine is a grill, some charcoal briquets, fluid to soak the briquets in to ignite them..........and then we cook steaks, chicken, et. and usually have corn on the cob and beans with it all. Bread and butter on the side of course. So, I met my husband while here and he invited me to his house for one of our first dates to have some BBQ. I spent my entire day looking forward to a nice juicy steak and some fresh, in season corn on the cob. Imagine my surprise when he handed me a hamburger roll with this GOOP in the middle of it and some coleslaw on the side! I still, to this day, have NEVER eaten BBQ and don't plan to. I fix it for my husband at least once a week, after all, he IS a true southerner. Poor guy.

Joined: May 2007 Posts: 622 | sharlee asked:"What is difference between WET & DRY RIBS ??" WET = LOTS of BBQ sauce, the more the better (enough so you have to take a bath after eating) DRY = Is a dry seasoning rub applied to the meat before and after cooking. I actually prefer the original dry Memphis style, but at this point, Ribs is Ribs  sorry GaryG, I didn't mean to hijack you post but as a BBQ judge, I'm sure you're gettin a kick out this! Kevin

sorry we have hijakced your post .. However it does seeem you are IN GOOD SPirits... That is a good thing !!! Who knows maybe we all can get together and come up with recipies of things we can EAT during these treatments and surgeries !!
One major fallback I can think of is the lack of taste some of us go through ..BUT hey we can work on that !!

Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,676 | Well, I'm hijacking again because Kevin's Cochon de Lait has my mouth watering big time. BTW, Cajun cooks are among the best in the world. To further Kevin's explanination of wet vs dry: Dry rubs are a combination of spices [garlic, chili powder,salt, red and black pepper,turmeric, etc. to taste] that are rubbed into the meat before cooking or grilling and can be left to meld in the frig overnight].Alot of Texas BBQ is dry BBQ. Sometimes a BBQ sauce is served on the side with dry rubs- sometimes not. Wet BBQ is sometimes marinated before cooking, but always cooked and basted with whatever your favorite concoction of sauce is.[and there are thousands of variations]. One of the few meats my husband could swallow [with no teeth] after surgery and radiation were pork baby back ribs, slow cooked [oven] in a mild sauce. So as Not to belabor this point here, anyone who wants some different BBQ sauces-e-mail me- I have a bunch of them. P.S. There are different techniques and sauces for pork and beef. Amy in the Ozarks
