Eating BBQ hotdogs or hamburgers with mustard is fine. Though maybe it's a sin in the south or something.

ಠ_ಠ

Barbecue is a noun, not a verb or adjective. At least not in the civilized parts of the country.
And large sections of Lesser Carolina are noted for their heresy of using a mustard-based sauce with their pulled pork.*
Whereas Greater Carolina, although we have a deep division between the Lexington and the Eastern schools, have a general respect for each other and acknowledge each other as legitimate barbecue. It's kinda like the two North Carolina styles are Catholicism and Protestantism, and South Carolina are Coptic or some shit.


*It's actually not bad. The mustard sauce is particularly good with boiled potatoes. But it's still heresy.

As Orthodox, I find that analogy offensive to my Coptic brothers. At least they have not accepted the western theological heresies.

As a true North Carolinian, I agree with everything the man just said, though I do not fully understand it.
Get out Southern heathens.

Ein Reich, Ein Pork, Ein Sauce

Orthodox would be like Memphis or Texas barbecue. Big enough to be recognized by most of the world as legitimate, but still wrong.

I'm from California, not SC or NC, so, jokes on you. and yeah I meant like BBQ'd hotdogs and hamburgers, or is that way still not workable in the south?

This has suddenly derailed into the Food Thread, lol.

[Flying Dice]

I think making it palatable is the great achievement.

well it would be if it ever happened

MRE: none of the above.

[smjjames]

Somehow I imagine MREs to be not dissimilar to the kind of stuff you'd take on a camping trip.

Of course though, I'm just a lowly civillian. lol

No, it is. Not sure what's going on with NC, but BBQ is both noun, verb, and adjective down here.  Not quite the fuck of culinary vocabulary, but close.

Most of us aren't terribly particular about it. Meat is meat, et al.

[penguinofhonor]

Barbecue is everything. Barbecue is life.

In my experience as a baker's son, gluten-free products are a pain to make, especially if you want them remotely enjoyable.

I dunno, I've had some remarkably good incidentally gluten-free chocolate cake once.  Something about the texture.

@mainiac: Considering that both Hillary and Jeb have an image problem regarding "authenticity", I think it has costs.

I'm pretty sure those problems have more to do with being in the center of bitter political fights for decades then with the occasional no stakes political photo op.  It's not like the Bengazi hearings were payback for Hillary asking for muffin recipes back in 93.  It's not like Jeb! doesn't use the bush name out of modesty.

Here's a general idea.

[Shadowlord]

Ooh, an MRE unboxing! Send it to all the younglings so they beg their parents for one!

[Flying Dice]

That's what I love about the internet. Chances are, if you want to know what something looks like when you take it out of the package, someone has posted an unboxing video of some sort. It's a bizarre market.

Probably better than astronaut food, too.

[NullForceOmega]

In spite of all the jokes around them MREs are really fairly decent, I preferred them to the horrible food served in the difac.  They aren't particularly good either, just decent.  Which, all things considered, seems to be something in their favor.

[Flying Dice]

I mean, they're supposed to be filling and nutritious. That alone puts them head and shoulders above both the intent and reality of a wide spread of generally-available edible non-food products. Doesn't matter if they look like crap, your body knows what it wants better than your forebrain does.
