meat with just a dry spice rub, a thick sweet bbq sauce (Memphis style), a mustardy sauce (NC and SC style) or a peppery vinegary style sauce (old fashioned style). You never serve the meat swimming in sauce, the sauce is on the side because the rockstar of this sandwich/dinner is the glorious delicious slow cooked smoked pork that just melts in your mouth.

- tell you what, for X-mas I'll send you a jar of the dry rub I use for ribs...let her eat her words :) -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:57 4

    - You know, I'll send you the rub anyway...it's not a mustard sauce (but I do make a great steak marinade with course mustard and bock beer) -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 15:04 2

        I wouldn't call it Texas Style...that would be a brisket rub...and I haven't worked on one yet...maybe this next summer -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 15:17
You are so close to being right, but are far too limiting...under your rule there is no place for ribs -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 3, 14:52
While I agree with most of this (and prefer what you call the Memphis style), I also like swimming pools full of BBQ sauce. -- nm - Beryllium: overlord, elitist Nov 3, 14:52
