To Joe's comment about BBQ sauce, McDonald's sauce is supposed to taste like a BBQ, where as the sauces at these places are actual sauces that are meant to compliment the BBQ

@mrdanthesnowman 28 дней назад

Well said.

@saberswordsmen1 27 дней назад

Yeah, whenever I hear British people talk about how brown sauce is so wildly different than barbecue sauce, I can't help but think they've only ever had Kraft. I've had both, and brown sauce/HP sauce definitely tastes like some bbq sauces I've had. Maybe a little more A1 to it, but definitely totally within the flavor profile of good barbecue sauces.

@kurtpunchesthings2411 27 дней назад

it is a key difference obviously the support sauce is better because it's helping the BBQ you have instead of trying to taste like a BBQ

Given the Japanese culture of always finishing your meal, I feel that they could have some issues doing this series over there, given that they always leave most of the food behind just because they consume so much. I mean, they could still do it over several days and it would be just as good on video.

Grew up 18 years in LA... live in central Texas now... when they said they cook the brisket 5 hours... 5 hours in for ribs and like chicken. Brisket is low and slow and like 12 14 hours. Bbq should be done in 1. TX 2. KC and 3 Carolinas. acceptable alternatives are Alabama White and Memphis

@ryanodriscoll 27 дней назад

There is some genuinely good barbecue in the UK. But it is much harder to find. It's growing in popularity, but I wouldn't say it has caught on. I know many people here that are suspicious of it, having grown up with sickly bottled barbecue sauce as a condiment and think that is what it is. Additionally, many of the places that do make it are either chains, which are usually ok but not exactly groundbreaking, or "trendy" places that have an air of the hipster about them. Either way, they are usually expensive for what you get. The Great British Barbie is improving though. The days of cremated burgers and charcoal sausages are by no means over, but the market is slowly changing and the foodie BBQ market is growing.

@diskopartizan0850 27 дней назад

I've had BBQ at a couple of places in the UK and it hasn't blown my mind. There's something about the random assembly of a large amount of ingredients that doesn't really do it for me. Like who needs ribs, brisket, sausage, burnt ends, with fries, slaw etc? It's all a bit much. That said, maybe it works better with the real deal?

Just returned from 2 weeks in London. The beans I saw on “full English” breakfast plates looked pretty insipid, like they opened a tin, microwaved it and poured a slippery spoonful onto a corner of the plate - but the sauce was travelling to touch the other items on the plate. So unimpressive compared to those luscious-looking meaty beans at Gus’s. And those Gus’s pork ribs look worth flying to L.A. just to try!❤
