Barbeque

My first week in NJ there was a "BBQ" at the apartments on campus where I was staying. As a southerner I was excited because it made me feel like I was at home. That was until I got to the "BBQ" and found it it was actually a cookout. Cookouts are when you grill hamburgers, hotdogs, and order pizza. A BBQ is when you gril a pig and slap some specially made sauce to flavor it up. Yes, it's a process of "very special meat served in a very special way depending on where you live." (Rhett & Link). All I'm saying to you Yankees out there is get it right and stop calling cookouts "BBQs." You're confusing the southerners who get excited for something that isn't gonna be there. Now I no longer eat meat (been just over a year now) but I do appreciate this song and wanted to share it all with you. These guys are hilarious and you can download many of their songs from their website for free (I know I have ;-)). Anyway, here it is the BBQ song by Rhett & Link!! Enjoy! *My fave quote: "Is Florida a southern state? No, it ain't." Too true!*

I love "BBQ" in quotes. I've fallen into the "away from home" trap. We held a "BBQ" last summer, with hotdogs and hamburgers. Nobody noticed. They were mostly Texans. Texans don't really acknowledge pork barbecue, anyway, so we got away with it. : D
