🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 A phone photo thread...

This looks really good. I wouldn't go back.

Now, if the slaw and potato salad were in their own bowls? Yeah, now we're eating again. Seriously, you take a bite of slaw which pushes the salad into the beans and vice versa.

'Dim' folks will tell ya beans don't go in chiii. Someone need to tell those tea-sips beans don't go in potato salad either.
I don't mind the beans and potato salad touching as much as I do the slaw liquid getting into everything. Put my slaw in a bowl.
 
Someone sent me this the other day. She claimed it was so good, but I'm sitting at my desk staring at the picture wondering if she smoked a crack or something for her to say that?
This was at J&J bbq place off Oakwood ave in Huntsville.

Looking at me made me want to swear off bbq for a while .

Because the beans were at full capacity, it’s hard to tell in the photo but the plate had partitions on it to hold back each of the sides from spilling over. I’ve never had a problem with things mixing in, but other than soupy beans or greens I think the individual containers are a ploy to reduce portions.
 
Ground up cole slaw is usually runny, created by the grind and or too much dressing.
In my not so humble opinion it's already messed up before you start the dressing. I am not a fan of ground slaw. I cut mine fresh before every meal (kept in the crisper, of course.)
Guess it depends if you like mayo or vinegar based slaw.
Dayum. Right off the bat I'm substituting Mayo with Greek Yogurt and vinegar with dry, white wine.

The BBQ I mentioned recently...used Greek Yogurt with some Nathan's spicy mustard. It fit my bill.
 
If ya'll got special bbq sauce recipe, vinegar hot sauce, any kind of sauce,
One of the wild things I learned about BBQ (and that means pork, not chicken, not beef, those can be barbecued) when I moved here was there are four sauces. If you are asking a pit master in this parts you're going to get a follow up that is asking ...

  • vinegar and pepper?
  • mustard?
  • light tomato?
  • heavy tomato?
The heavy tomato is what you'll find on most of the grocery stores shelves; most of the homes in the states in fact. In the 1800's when these BBQ regions developed (this one was mostly west and northwest SC) they made theirs by adding cane sugar grown on the plantations.

The difference with the light tomato is it is basically the vinegar and pepper sauce but has a little tomato added for sweetness.



One of the things about living close to the coast and the constant high humidity is the way it will hold "odors" in an area. And bruh, does that apply to BBQ! There's a joint a half of a mile from the house ... when they are smoking and the conditions are right? You're smelling that smoke all day long.

They make all four sauces; you choose which you want or every one. Good sweet tea. Bottled beer.

NOW, for the important question.

@Justneedme81 you've been known to give a member @24and7 a bit of hell. So...with that in mind.
