to Champ or not to Champ......

[David DeWeese]

A grill is used to fast-cook meat, a smoker is used to slow-cook meat, but it is only after applying the thick tomato and molasses-based BBQ sauce that it becomes barbecue.

If you grill a chicken, it's grilled chicken. If you slow cook a chicken in a hard wood fired smoker, it's smoked chicken... BUT, if you apply barbecue sauce to the chicken, well then it is barbecued chicken!

So, in Texas barbecue is a noun, verb and adjective!

Do I get an award for hi-jacking my own thread!

Thanks, David

Such a true statement: 'I have so much to learn'!! ..... but then Texans ARE a different breed to the northern folk, eastern folk ... well, the rest of the country, really.

So David, when are you turning on the Barbie for Aussie visitors to sample the oh, so sickly sweet molasses based BBQ sauce???? (Yes, you get the award!)

Mike, give me a heads-up before you come.....I'll have to check the roads to see what is available.

So David, this would be the first Champ with two grills since George Foreman?

Makes you realise how lazy we are here in Oz. Cooking of anything, poultry, seafood, beef lamb, vegetable (etc.) not in an actual kitchen would use the term "Barbie". This is because we can't be bothered with long terms like Bar-be-que, not because we are entertaining long legged blondes with fully articulated limbs (although they would be made most welcome I am sure....). It is also the only place real men will, nay insist on, cooking.

Hi Richard,

That took some brain-power! ,......And to think it came from a man who made a conscious decision to purchase an Austin Champ..............oh, wait!
