arguing about tacos vs. arguing about burgers vs arguing about pizza vs arguing about barbecue

shit, should probably have hotdog option

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

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

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

beer snob vs wine snob vs cocktail snob

barbecue for sure

just way more variation

barbecue jihad

bbq arguments really bring out the worst in people.

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

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

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

No "burrito battle" option?

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

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.

RICE!

NO RICE!

xp

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!

This thread was designed for speedy de-meta-sization.

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

fatteys

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

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

mmm bbq

Man, right?

NOW IT BEGINS.

Too many false binaries up in this bitch!

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.

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

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

kansas city
memphis
carolina
texas

i don't think that's even a valid argument.

xp, uk vs us i mean.

BBQ tofu dogs guyz.

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.

uk bbq are you kidding me?

zomg korean bbq

uk bbq is probably like a chicken patty

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

so so wrong

what the fuck is that

in england they call an elevator a lift

BBQ•Be•Quick!

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).

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

^^^

Jesus, quit grilling them about their Q!

"Instant Barbecue" is kinda classic tho

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

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."

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Well done! Er, I mean, nicely smoked!

man I would straight kill somebody for a decent pizza right now

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