Having read all the other comments, I find myself wondering if barbecuing
(Braaing) is an Art or a Science!

Well barbecue, to be more precise. My lovely wife bought us a Louisiana
Grill smoker style barbecue for our anniversary. I’ve been having a grand
time smoking everything from avocado to zucchini. I want to do ribs on
Friday. I just know we have some foodies out there who will have wonderful
recipes to share.
Please bring them on....
Thanks

Eastern North Carolina Barbecue - FWIW the quality of restaurant barbecue is
inversely proportional to the distance from Wilson, North Carolina. Served with
slaw, hush puppies and sweet tea. Forget about that Lexington BBQ crap, they use
tomatoes in their sauce.
Take a pig
Split it in half
Slow cook over a Hickory WOOD fire (coals in a pit is best) for 6 - 8 hours
until the meat just falls right off the bone.
Chop it up and serve with Barbecue Sauce.

Vinegar
Black Pepper
Salt

1 Medium head of cabbage
1-1/2 cup Mayonnaise
3/4 cup chopped Mount Olive sweet pickles
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Cut cabbage in half & grate fine
In a large mixing bowl combine cabbage, mayonnaise, sweet pickles, chopped
celery, vinegar, sugar, salt with fresh ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Invite 50 - 100 of your best friends (depending on size of that pig) to partake
in "pickin' the pig".
Kick back & relax.
