They can always go hunting for the Pork in this years Congressional Budget.

You wouldn’t want that pork. It’s all fat and waste.
I have believed for years that Spam ™ and Treet ™ were made from Naugha meat. Obviously the hyde is the economic winner here, but the beasts must be a pretty good size and someone decided that selling the meat would be a money-maker. I don’t know whether or not most Naughahyde comes from from wild or farmed Naughas.
On a side note, any naughahyde covered recliner could be called ‘a vinyl resting place’.

Wade was just meetin’ Sam and didn’t know her real well.
Zed explains that she is not “just a good lookin’ gal”
and then Sam names the pigs for … cuts of pork meat meaning she is “Hail Yaas” ready to eat them name or no name.
BTW a “rasher” is Cockney slang for a “ration” usually meant to indicate a side order of bacon or sausage. (pork)
IE: “I’ll have the bangers (sausage links) and mash (mashed potatoes) with a rasher on the side.”

Ah, Chris, thank you for giving beef top billing. I knew I liked Travis. He is clearly a man of taste and discernment. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but meanwhile, I shall dream of brisket.
So, great ‘Q with a great view for $20. Or, have a blast with your “Q ‘n View and maybe pay nothing. Or, have a blast, ‘Q ‘n view, and pay $40…still a bargain, and you can come back tomorrow or next week and try again…

You could work it like the place in Amarillo that offers a 72 oz steak for free…provided you can shovel it, and sides, down within an hour. Charge an extra dollar to everyone. Given them the chance to outshoot the cowboy for a freebie. You don’t have to double the money if they lose.
(And if you didn’t bring your own gun, shame on you…unless you are a tourist from a gun free state, of course…loaners available.)
This is a biz, ain’t nothing free unless you earn it by out-shooting Wade…extra $20 is cheap for the chance to shoot the vintage Cowboy Colt .45 loaners and there’s always the slim chance you’ll win and eat free.
Just like Vegas, everybody knows the House always wins in the long run, with just enough lucky bullseye winners to keep ’em trying.
So 40 bucks a head for a real Cowboy gunfight, a belly full of great ‘Q and an eye full of great view? Sign me up right now ’cause they’ll be waitin’ in line, and if you beat the house and it’s all free? Like dyin’ and goin’ to Heaven…and if you don’t? Just like Vegas, you’ll be back to try again.

Kosher BBQ, mmmmm.
Heck, while you’re at it, maybe lamb could be added to that menu? Are there any good lamb BBQ recipes? (I suppose it depends on how you define “BBQ”. How do you define “BBQ”?)
February 20, 2016 at 11:14 am
The Doctor
Technically, “barbecue” is defined (in American usage, anyway) as meat cooked “low and slow” over a smoky, indirect heat source, where the food is flavored by the smoking process. (For some reason, the British seem to think that “barbecuing” is what we call “grilling”: fast cooking over high, direct heat. Infidels. 😛 )
So really, any meat can be barbecued — including lamb. 🙂 In fact, barbecued mutton is common in Kentucky, especially the western half of the state.
Here in Texas? While beef is what we’re most known for, in reality, we’ll barbecue just about anything that’s tasty enough to eat. 🙂 Many barbecue joints have chicken, sausage, pork, and even turkey, as well as beef — and depending on the area, you might also find lamb or goat on the menu, too.
Mmmm… barbecue…
Okay, if y’all will excuse me, I’m gonna head up the road to get some chopped-beef tacos for breakfast. 🙂

For the cabrito, I’ve found that freshly butchered, cut into large chunks and boiled with a little spice until the meat is about to fall of the bone is the proper meat-prep prior to putting it on the grill.
With the right sauce, it will be the most tender and tasty stuff you’ll ever have. It also works well with venison and if the fat is ladled off prior to pulling out the meat, it takes care of that *problem* one always runs into with venison and lamb.
It used to be real fun showing up at the church BBQ with the meat already prepped. When it came off the grill those little old ladies swore up and down it was the finest beef they’d ever had. They’d have had a fit if they’d known it was goat, but that’s yankees for you.

One should not be too concerned about a remote location for a BBQ joint … some of the best BBQ I have ever lapped a lip over was at a small place on the corner of Hwy 1431 and State Hwy 29 in central Texas. The restaurant was literally the only building for 15-20 miles in either direction. The place was always busy especially on Wednesday when your second meat on a double meat platter was free. We always scheduled our tech support trips to Kingsland on Wednesdays. Mmm-mmm-mmm …

Just participated in continental pheasant shoot and lunch south of Auburn. The birds were fast and the lunch was slow cooked pork shoulder, baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, white bread, pickles and still warm from the stove banana pudding. I think you can put this combination on the Official DDQ menu as “The Continental.”
