BBQ

[Ballah06]

Pffft.

Pizza (NY, not that Chicago shit)
Cheesesteaks (Philly)
Bagels (NY)
Taylor Ham (aka, pork roll; NJ)

The list goes on...


Don't get me wrong - The south owns BBQ, but the Yankees have made some good food.

Was about to cite a few of the above myself. Can't beat a good NY pizza or bagel. Also love me some chicken rolls and calzones. Always swing by my favorite pizza shop off Queens Blvd. when in NYC. Been going there since high school days. Chicago pizzza to me is like a damn pot pie, wtf, over?

Pizza was invented in Naples.

I'll give you half points on the Cheesesteak, but again, the inventor was born to Italians and who lived in Italy, although did grow up in South Philly, but to a mostly insular Italian neighborhood.


Bagels? Sure they have some good ones, but they're Polish and hundreds of years old.

I've never had a pork roll. I have had pepperoni rolls, but again - Italians in West Virginia...


Also Pizzaria Uno has some damned fined pizza - while I will concede it's more of a cheese and tomato pie than "pizza"

And BBQ was invented by the Africans or Carribeans depending on who you believe. It wasn't some red neck in Georgia who got the first idea in 1823. Those are the people who perfected it.

Pork Roll (Taylor ham for us northern Jersians) is the meat, nothing like a pepperoni roll.

It's sliced and fried:

It is usually prepared with american cheese and a fried egg (I prefer just cheese). It MUST be served on a hard (aka, kaiser) roll (In the south I use English Muffins since they don't know how to make bread south of Philly).

That's a good looking baloney sandwich!

Have you ever been to Brooklyn???? I'm guessing no. You're basically lumping the whole borough into Williamsburg (that's where most of the hipsters live). There's some amazing food there just not from this BBQ place. People say Dinosaur is good but I have not tried it.


I do not follow Twitter but tons of restaurants & food trucks use it to promote.



I completely agree! #realDonaldTrump

Dinosaur is ok but highly over rated the buffalo wings at the Anchor bar ( the birth place of buffalo wings ) are outstanding.

Baloney is cows assholes, and tastes like it. It doesn't hold a candle to Taylor ham.

Just pulling your leg! Don't be so sensitive.

Best ham, hands down.

Everything I've read says Taylor ham is pretty much just bologna but fried and made from the same assholes and noses.

Now Scrapple. I will give that to Yankee scum. Scrapple is fucking awesome. It smells like shit when it's cooking but damn if it isn't tasty, esp in a cast iron skillet over an open fire.

damn that looks like awesome ham. a bit pricey but im sure its worth every penny.

Bologna can have pork, beef, chicken - basically anything scraped up off the floor. Taylor ham is all pork, and is not as finely minced as Bologna is.

Think of hot dogs (bologna) vs beef brats (taylor ham). Not even comparable, even though both are nominally made out of beef.

But yes, Taylor ham probably does have assholes and noses. But it tastes so good, we just try not to think about it.

As for scrapple::ack:

Yeah. I love me some proscuttio and mellon in the summer. Might have to get some of this. Thanks for the heads up Dan.

They sell Taylor Ham here in Morgantown, I'll have to pick a tube of it up and give it a try.

I went for about 20 years between hearing about Scrapple and thinking "how fucking gross could something be that it didn't make the cut for being sausage?", and then trying Scrapple.

Instant convert.

Being a good Georgia boy, however, the hands down best breakfast meat is Country Ham.

 

[SGaynor]

Once comfortable, kick it up a notch and experiment with some good meats. The Kobe AA9+ cuts will just melt in your mouth when cooked properly. This is the shit you save for yourself.

I'm going to do a couple of briskets this spring/summer to get the hang of it, but then want to do one with a brisket from Baldwin Beef (they are in NC just south of Danville, VA).

3lb, 6oz Brisket for $38 or a [URL="https://www.baldwingrassfedbeef.com/shop/pc/Beef-Brisket-Case-14p62.htm"]case (14lb of brisket for $100)

I drove past their farm on my way to get some parts from Will T. one weekend, and got a couple of steaks. Hot damn! Grass fed, natural Charolais beef is damn delicious. (You can get it halal if you want to as well. I used to go to Siler City, NC to the farms meat processor (halal) to get free range chickens (the chicken processing shut down a couple of years ago. Best chickens I've ever had)

Oh man, homemade scrapple is bomb dot com.

You might be able to find a 4 oz package to try (see pic). Honestly, I've proabably had scrapple in different forms/names (various hashes). It's just the slab looks sooooo nasty.

I agree 100% on country ham for breakfast. Or just sausage and gravy...Yum.

You need at least an 11lb whole packer brisket to make it worth your time. Skip the brisket flats or small briskets, there's not enough fat. Get the whole packers.

I brought a couple frozen pork rolls back in my carry on last time I was in Philly. Nothing quite like it. I had it shipped once but it was kind of expensive. I might have to do it again for a breakfast surprise for the kids.

Thanks for the info. I'm sure I can call them and get it.
