shit, should probably have hotdog option

Oilyrags, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:12 (seventeen years ago)

tacos because you get a decent race debate in there as well

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:13 (seventeen years ago)

Poll should really be which class of foodie is the worst.

libcrypt, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:14 (seventeen years ago)

i think regional average burrito quality is more disputed than taco quality

elmo argonaut, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:14 (seventeen years ago)

beer snob vs wine snob vs cocktail snob

Oilyrags, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:14 (seventeen years ago)

barbecue for sure

s1ocki, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:17 (seventeen years ago)

just way more variation

barbecue jihad

gabbneb, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:17 (seventeen years ago)

bbq arguments really bring out the worst in people.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:18 (seventeen years ago)

i think taco wars are the least controversial because most foodies can agree on what makes a good one good

get bent, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:18 (seventeen years ago)

these things are fun to argue about, even if the arguments are dumb.

Jordan, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:20 (seventeen years ago)

i voted pizza, because even without style wars, the topping discussion is endless.

Jordan, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:21 (seventeen years ago)

No "burrito battle" option?

Michael White, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:22 (seventeen years ago)

The history of barbecue jihad is the history of america! Oh, wait, that's a strike against it. But barbecue anyway.

Rock Hardy, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:22 (seventeen years ago)

bbq for sure, there are so many legitimate sides to take!

Are there really even burger arguments? People like some chains better than others but you don't usually see people repping for totally different styles as an ideal.

I DIED, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:22 (seventeen years ago)

RICE!

NO RICE!

Oilyrags, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:22 (seventeen years ago)

There really are only two sides in the bbq debate, but people cling to their favorite like they do guns and religion.

That said, if you aren't eating it shredded in a vinegar sauce, you are a f00L!

two sides to bbq debate? I thought there were four major categories recognized in the US alone.

dan m, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:26 (seventeen years ago)

1. Do you like it chunky or shredded?
2. Do you like the light vinegar sauce or the heavy molasses-y/tomato-y sauce?

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:26 (seventeen years ago)

ya but you can still go ribs, brisket, lamb, chicken, sausages etc etc etc etc

s1ocki, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:27 (seventeen years ago)

Man, right?

NOW IT BEGINS.

Oilyrags, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:27 (seventeen years ago)

Too many false binaries up in this bitch!

Rock Hardy, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:28 (seventeen years ago)

Oh, I was only considering the traditional pork bbq. Sure, if you're adding other meats into it, then there are plenty of arguments to be had.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:28 (seventeen years ago)

basically what we've proven so far is that we have not had nearly enough bbq argument threads

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:28 (seventeen years ago)

uk v us bbq brings levels of pain the other debates can only dream of

see, there are base level assumptions about bbq that make it great argument fodder!

Judging by today's threads, ILX is hungry.

Going to have vegetarian BBQ tonight I think and while I'm standing over the charcoal pit, I plan to loudly proclaim how much better this is than meat and how people who eat meat are really missing out.

libcrypt, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:32 (seventeen years ago)

uk bbq are you kidding me?

s1ocki, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:33 (seventeen years ago)

ledge, Tuesday, 15 April 2008 20:36 (seventeen years ago)

UK BBQ involves a lot of cribbing off Turkish and South Asian people, plus OMG jerk chicken.

Barbecue yo, you can argue about individual SAUCE INGREDIENTS within a regional style, let alone the variety of American styles let alone alone BEEF v. PORK (v. chicken I guess).

Abbott, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 00:59 (seventeen years ago)

brittishes etc plz look in previous bbq threads for the definition of "grilling" then stfu

Jesus, quit grilling them about their Q!

Abbott, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 01:19 (seventeen years ago)

"Instant Barbecue" is kinda classic tho

gabbneb, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 01:21 (seventeen years ago)

It is a pretty practical idea if you have one square meter of outdoor space and need to cook a dozens kebabs.

Abbott, Wednesday, 16 April 2008 01:23 (seventeen years ago)

I used to have co-workers who routinely argued about burgers around 10am as a kind of foreplay for lunchtime. "No d00d that one has TWO pieces of cheese on it."

Most of those look way too complicated. Bun, burger, cheddar cheese, that's all you need. Sliced tomato on the side.
