Acompaniments for smoked meat

[snowangel]

What are your favorites? Sauce, coleslaw, whatever?

A couple of summers ago, we did pork shoulder for a party, and a friend brought a red onion salad from a German deli in New Ulm. I think I've duplicated it -- very thinly sliced red onions, soaked in water for a bit, drained and repeated. Dressing is a sweet-sour mayo (I use mayo, some superfine sugar, and a combo of white and cider vinegar). The deli adds poppy seeds, but people say they like it better without the seeds which just get stuck between your front teeth. It's a yummy accompaniment.

I like mustard-based sauces, beer, coleslaw, beer, potato salad, beer, baked beans, beer, corn pudding, and beer.

That was assumed. I figure that as essential as wood and meat for smoking. Our recycling bin sits right beside the grill

A few different types of mustard for dipping: honey, sharp and creamy, grainy, and Jack Daniels bourbon mustard.

There's a little beach- bar barbeque place in Anguilla, Uncle Ernie's, that has the most delicious, peppery red cabbage cole slaw I've ever tasted. It's a great complement to the smoky flavor of bbq'd anything.

Actually, if anyone has a recipe for corn pudding, I'd like to have it - I only ever get mine at City BBQ. It seems like a spoonbread, really.

I also like my pulled pork on a soft white bun, for what that's worth. Coleslaw should have either a very light coating of mayo dressing or (preferable) a vinegar-based dressing.

Joe...because of geograhical challenges, I haven't been to Schwartzes in way too long.. Does the heavenly meal you describe still come accompanied by crabby counterstaff? I kind of hope so.

There is a great B.B.Q. place in Syracuse, NY called "Dinosaur BBQ". They put out a cookbook which has a great recipe for cornbread made with honey, jalapeno, and cheddar. BTW their sauces and rubs are very good and can be found online at Dinosaur BBQ

[riboflavinjoe]

maggie, yeah, the staff is still quite crabby. last time i was there, though, i was served by a dude with a shaved head, and i said, Nice haircut (because i have my head shaved too) and he smiled. it was kind of wierd, and i felt all dirty... really, though... they can be quite cranky...

Can this be made in baking dish instead of ramekins?

What's "half and half?", asked the dumb Brit.

Either Guiness and lager or a carton of half cream/half milk.

[Wilfrid]

And if I choose wrong, my pudding's in trouble, right?

[CathyL]

Cheap white buns. Coleslaw - mine is dressed with sour cream, mayo, mustard, vinegar and a bit of garlic. For pulled pork, I prefer a thinnish Lexington NC-style sauce (vinegar, a little ketchup, Worcestershire, spices).

In tomato season, a big platter of several varieties, sliced and lightly dressed.

'Thrill of the Grill' has a terrific black bean salad that's a nice accompaniment to brisket.

Toby's cornbread.

Dinosaur BBQ is now packaging the meat too...I haven't mustered the nerve to try it yet.

[Ron Johnson]

Yes, but make sure you set the baking dish into a water bath as well.

Either Guiness and lager

Thats a black and tan.

[jeniac42]

Actually the corn pudding I'm thinking of is like a bread pudding only made with cornbread, corn kernels. The one you posted sounds really good, too, Ron - I'll definitely try it. I love sweet corn.

[Jaymes]

What's "half and half?", asked the dumb Brit.

Or some people refer to it as "light cream."

With Southwestern-style (not sweet) grilled meats, I love charro beans. And some kind of hot sauce, like Tapatia or Tobasco or Marie Sharp's or Louisiana hot sauce.

Or tortillas and pico de gallo.

If you're doing the Southeastern sweet-BBQ thing, then like sweet baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw - you know - the "regular."

[torakris]

I like a side of coleslaw preferably dressed with a mayo dressing.

Snow angel that red onion salad sounds great , am going to give it a try.

As to sauces, something heavy on the ketchup, vinegar and cloves.

[NewYorkTexan]

Paper towels and cold beer.

Everything else, including silverware, is superfluous.

Okay - here ya' go - quick and easy. My kids' favorite.

Jiffy Corn Pudding

1 stick butter or margarine, melted

8 oz sour cream

1 large (or 2 small) eggs, beaten slightly

1 can creamed corn

1 box Jiffy cornbread mix

1 can whole corn, drained

In bottom of large mixing bowl, melt butter. Add sour cream and combine. Add eggs and beat. Add all remaining ingredients and combine well.

Pour into greased 10"x10" casserole and bake, uncovered, at 350º 45 minutes, or until golden and cracking.

Yuuuummmm. So good. AND so good for you!

[Stone]

Either Guiness and lager

Thats a black and tan.

Black and tan is Guiness with ale, or more specifically, Guiness with Bass.

[Stone]

pico de gallo.

Is pico de gallo the same as salsa, or a specific type of salsa.
