Not another Trump thread, despite the title.
Look, political opinions are one thing. They give us insight into another’s perspective on the world and what they want it to be. The choice we make between Lexington and Eastern-style bbq reveals more than that though. It cuts to the true nature of a person; it shines a light on their soul. I know this has been discussed before, but this is a new board and a chance for some to start anew.
To the Chosen, my fellow Lexington-style believers, keep it up and remain steadfast in your righteousness. Even though I’ve always known in my heart that pork shoulders were all you ever need, I’ll admit that I’ve strayed off the Path at times. I’ve even enjoyed, what was for all intents and purposes, a pickled pig sandwich once or twice. No one said sin can’t be delicious, but I always come back to what is true and right. Know that we must remain humble though and not flaunt our refined palates in non-believers faces. Remember that we have flaws just like the Others, we’re just not going to hell for ours. This thread can be a place to reach out, to help them. Let them know about your favorite places of pig worship and why it’s some place other than Stamey’s in Greensboro or Kepley’s of High Point, which are both abominations.
I’d like the vibe of this thread to be mostly positive, so I’ll say that I think most of you Eastern-style cultists are not truly lost yet. You probably suck as people right now, but I recognize that there are “reasons” you are what you are. Maybe, by terrible misfortune, you grew up out of state or east of Mebane. Maybe your folks didn’t know any better and that’s all you had growing up, just ignorant that there was something better out there. Maybe some kind of childhood trauma plays a role or maybe you don’t have the capacity to know what “good” means. Whatever the “reason”, know that you could change today. Go to Lexington Barbecue, sit at the counter, order a chopped plate with slaw, hit it with two (and only two) shakes of Texas Pete, and experience what bbq evolved to when something more than just vinegar was available. If you can’t appreciate the heightened flavor profile that a touch of ketchup adds after that? You are beyond salvation. Tell me what’s better. Might as well add in why you hate America and all that is good and holy while you’re at it so we get it all out of the way now.
Mustard-lovers? Just like hardcore Eastern-types, vegans and vegetarians, people who use “barbecue” as a verb, and dook basketball fans, you’re a demon walking this Earth. If I read the terms “mustard” or “Texas” or “Memphis” or some reference to BBQ as anything but pork, used unironically or approvingly in this thread, I swear to God….
So, let’s see who some of you really are.
