Yeah a PORK room.
The brisket the other night was pretty good... But one bite would taste like thinly sliced steak with sauce, and the next would taste like thinly sliced roast beef with sauce, depending on the distribution of marbling and charring. Pork = BBQ.

I know people in KC that might shoot you for saying that.

All because y'all don't know how to cook a good brisket - the fact that it could possibly taste anything like either steak or roast beef is a clear indication that it is being done tragically wrong - doesn't mean you get to just go changing the meaning of words all willy nilly to compensate for that shortcoming.
Brisket = BBQ.

Who cares, with their limp wrists they can't shoot straight anyway.

I mean seriously, good but tasted like steak/roast beef? That'd be like me telling you that the pulled pork I had was pretty good but one bite tasted like a shredded pork chop and the next tasted like ham.
It sounds to me like we do better pulled pork than y'all do brisket. This would certainly explain why y'all get so confused about what BBQ is.

It's hilarious watching everyone get annoyed by this.

I'm not annoyed, I was deliberately instigating.
He beats his fists against the spork
And still insists that beef is pork.

It's not something someone from north of the 30th parallel is equipped to understand.
Yeah, that's why they call it brisket instead of BBQ?
TPR also has a cat that he calls a dog and says that you don't know what a dog is even though he still says his dog is a cat.

Everyone's wrong.
Traditional barbacoa involves digging a hole in the ground and placing some meat (usually a whole goat) with a pot underneath it, so that the juices can make a hearty broth. It is then covered with maguey leaves and coal and set alight. The cooking process takes a few hours. Olaudah Equiano, an African abolitionist, described this method of roasting alligators among the Mosquito People (Miskito people) on his journeys to Cabo Gracias a Dios in his narrative, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano.
Original BBQ: goat or alligator. The rest are posers.

Oh, I'm not frustrated. I'm sad for y'all.
To go through life not knowing the true joy of proper BBQ. That's really depressing.

There's actually no pork in the plan today.... The wife is rising up against me. I may have to find a late night sandwich, somewhere. A day without barbecue in Memphis is like a lifetime of epicurean... Something... Ignorance in Texas. Whatever. My heart isn't really into picking on tpr too hard because I like him.

I like him too. And I'll agree that I enjoyed the brisket the other night with my BBQ.

How ironic. Down here the pulled pork is the lady food, because sometimes they can't handle brisket.
Regardless, I think we can at least all agree that ribs are good, but they're just too flashy to be at the core of the definition of BBQ. Yes?

Yes, as much as the Stradivarius can't be considered at the core of the definition of violin

You can see how shallow is his actual devotion to cow as barbecue.

TPR, don't get me wrong. Corky's here serves beef BBQ. That's what the Jews here eat.

Trust me, if it tastes even remotely like steak or roast beef then it isn't being done properly.

So.... They make the cow not taste like cow?

So pulled pork should taste like ham?
