Sausage is pretty big here too. Kreuz sausages are like crack.

I really suck at breaking BBQ down by regions. But I do remember an area in South Carolina that uses a mustard based bbq sauce and they drowned everything in it. It scared me.

quote:

Alabama: Thin, vinegar-based with sugar, salt, pepper and mayonnaise
Georgia: Thin mustard-based, tomato and vinegar
Kansas City: Thick tomato and sugar base, sweet, smoky and spicy
Kentucky: Black sauce with Worcestershire sauce, molasses and vinegar
Florida: Tomato -based with lemon, lime, vinegar and butter
Hawaiian: Sweet and sour with fruits and fruit juices
Oriental: Soy sauce, peanuts and some heat. (Oriental? Isn't that phrase obsolete now-a-days and considered offensive by many? Also with peanuts I'd peg it more as Thai or Vietnamese rather than Oriental. But hey, I didn't write the book)
North Carolina (Eastern): Thin, vinegar-based with crushed red peppers, salt and pepper
North Carolina (Western): Thin, similar to Eastern North Carolina, but with tomato and sugar added
South Carolina: Thin mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper
Tennessee: Depends on the region. Thin, vinegar-tomato sauce or sweet, somewhat spicy tomato-based with peppers and molasses (Memphis)
Texas: Very thick, tomato-based, spicy with molasses and Worcestershire sauce, also a thing, hot-pepper-based sauce.


This is probably fairly close

TX BBQ has been the most dissapointing aspect of my move here.


EDIT: The exception being Texans gameday and the Rodeo cookoff.

Are you just eating at Houston places or have you been to the more hallowed establishments in the Hill Country?
