Explanation: Pictured is the US general William T. Sherman, whose most famous period of service was during the US Civil War. In the US, the South is noted for its culinary expertise in barbecue.
During the US Civil War, after three years of bloody fighting, General Sherman came to the conclusion that the South’s will to fight would be sapped more by a rampage through Southern lands than by fighting their soldiers. So he cut his way through to the interior of the US South, and then ‘lived off the land’, taking supplies and destroying/burning whatever important logistics and materiel remained - including barns, railroads, warehouses, etc - and freeing thousands of slaves along the way.
Sure enough, this crushed the morale of the South, and was a major factor in ending the war. Greatest Southern barbecue of all time!
“Some call it living off the land, others call it raiding. It’s much like how one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”
In any case, I’m too ignorant of the US barbecue arts to cogently comment, but I still wouldn’t mind trying some of that mesquite smoked brisket.
I can’t fucking wait until my next trip to the south, but it’s a whole five months away
But at least then I’m going again after a couple more months
I’ll probably be back in Ohio soon but it’s just not the same there
Eat some well-grilled meat for me would you? I’ve only been to the US once, and - forgive me - this isn’t exactly the best time for another visit. An unscheduled all-expenses paid trip to El Salvador sounds nice, but CECOT has received nothing but piss-poor user reviews. The brisket may be legendarily good, but I doubt it’s “life in twelve-man to a cell prison”-good. Especially since I presumably wouldn’t even get to try the goddamn meat before being shipped off! The nerve!
Maybe you’ll get a nice expat community of sane Americans in your country out of this chaos; emigrants always set up the best foreign cuisine restaurants.
I certainly wouldn’t mind if I did. Although, around these parts they might have to adapt to pork rather than beef. Denmark is very much a pig-country, and you won’t hear me deny it.
Still, who doesn’t like good bacon? Or slow-cooked pulled pork for that matter. I’m sure we can work out something – and then we can kvetch about Trump and fascist short-sighted fucktards while sharing a good meal. Perfection!
I do pulled pork, pork ribs, and tasso
Well, shit. You’re my friend now. No arguments! I’ll bring the beer. The good beer.
And also last year’s home brewed orange peel and ginger mead. This is going to be awesome! Imma let you braid my beard while I sharpen the axe. What is the axe for, you ask? Ha! Trick question: I’m Danish - what isn’t a sharp axe for?
I don’t blame you.
Hey now, if it’s worth cooking, it’s worth deep frying! 🙏
