My ex thought Kansas was in Texas. I wish I'd asked for more information. Did they think Superman and Dorothy Gale were from Texas?

Jokes aside, let us not forget that many of these people voted blue through gritted teeth in direct opposition to Trump. Those people will not appreciate being called a liberal for their votes. They will 100% go back red on the next election if and when Trump and his cronies are not on the ballot, unless the Dems can take advantage of this situation and show some actual fucking leadership and demonstrate why their choose was a good one. This is not a time for complacency. We won a lap, not the whole race.

NC is really a pretty liberal and educated state, and continued urban population growth is likely to continue the trend.

It's just got a lot of rural areas and the GOP locked them down during the 90s

Don't hold your breath. Corporate-Dems think they won and this is a clear sign that poor people want neoliberalism and elitist "progressiveisms".

What do these people have against liberty? Don’t they like freedom?

[-] kerryh8er04@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 days ago

Texas for brisket, sausage. KC for ribs. NC for pork.

[-] Euler_eix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Ah this is the correct answer

I don't disagree.

In this context that would be called grilling. BBQ is also a term that is used, but not when you talk about Texas, Kansas, and NC. We have that too. You wouldn't cook a ribeye this way. It's just different in this convo.

Fried chicken is also relevant here, and the Korean KFC and KBBQ are foods that deserve lots of respect IMO.

Who am I kidding? I just like good food.

[-] THEPIGWHODIDIT@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I also like delicious meat. Would certainly give that ribeye a new home

[-] sartalon@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago

Nothing beats a good Texas brisket.

Kansas city is just sauce. It should be called casserole, not bbq.

NC sauce makes their bbq inedible, so I I am not sure how good their meat is.

[-] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

North Carolinian here. Me and you need to have a talk out back.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

I am upset at your description of Kansas City style but cannot disagree.

[-] uberfreeza@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

I've been to a few places, including local favorites. It's not that stellar, even aside from the sauce.

[-] farmgineer@nord.pub 4 points 2 days ago

I think they all do different things well. Texas is beef and brisket in my mind and NC is for pulled pork. KC has a good sauce, but I'm least exposed to that. Why divide and separate? Unite and share the love.

[-] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Honestly agree, I like a kc based sauce (I prefer to make it spicy) but then I'll put it on some delicious BBQ from anywhere lol. Brisket? Spicy kc based sauce, pulled pork? Spicy kc based sauce... chicken? See above lol.

[-] protist@retrofed.com 19 points 3 days ago

Central Texas oak-smoked brisket is the best BBQ that exists

[-] subverted_per@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago

If you need sauce to cover the meat, you did it wrong.

[-] skooma_king@piefed.social 14 points 3 days ago

I didn't like it when I first moved there, but it grew on me. Now, I love it.

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I know I'm biased, but Texas all day every day.

That said, I do love me some vinegar sauce

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Whichever one has the best burnt ends.

[-] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 days ago

I like how Texas still gets no love. Bless your heart.

On a business trip I once had a group of burly Texas oilmen all agree that the brisket at the “DC area chain restaurant” was the best they’d had.

Which was … pretty fucking funny tbh.

For the next decade they all tried to find a better joint in Houston.

I don’t even like brisket that much.

[-] fu@libranet.de 1 points 2 days ago

@prettybunnys Austin has better BBQ than Houston

Either, but slathered in NC mustard-vinegar sauce.

[-] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Mustard is SC. Still good, but not traditional NC.

[-] Euler_eix@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

It's Kansas, but only one place in Kansas. The rest suck ass.

Anthony Bourdain agrees: https://www.foodrepublic.com/1582674/anthony-bourdain-favorite-barbecue-kansas-city/

[-] kerryh8er04@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Kansas side or Missouri side?

[-] Euler_eix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Original location is on the Missouri side, but just barely. They have many locations on the Kansas side now though. I suppose it's more a Kansas City, both states, thing

[-] MrWrinkles@leminal.space 6 points 3 days ago

daaaauuum lol

[-] fu@libranet.de 4 points 3 days ago

Texas 100%

Nobody else had any business doing brisket

[-] potatomuncher@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Even though humans have been doing bbq and eating cows long before Texas existed or cows arrived in North America?

[-] fu@libranet.de 1 points 2 days ago
[-] potatomuncher@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Trump and Abbott should rename brisket to Texasket before leaving the office.
