Pucky Sammiches

[thatsjet]

Yuck! Randy would ban pucky LOL. I would ban sardines. Can't even stand the smell of them.

I have to second this. Fish that comes in a can should be outlawed.

How could this thread not mention BBQ sauce? There must certainly be an exemption for BBQ sauce.

NO! If your meat needs basting and dipping in sugary mess then you've done something wrong. Low and slow on the Traeger with a light coating of good rub and cook it right... the meat speaks for itself.

How could this thread not mention BBQ sauce? There must certainly be an exemption for BBQ sauce. Not sure if it legal in my county to eat fowl without BBQ sauce. And truth be told, entirely too much of this thread has been about mustard. I am from MN. We use ketchup. Some think it is too spicy, but I like to live on the edge. The kids might even put it on hash browns.

If you don't use some sort of pucky, how do you even get it down the hatch? Not only does pucky taste good, but it is an essential lubricant. Nothing worse than trying to choke down a burger on dry bread.

Gotta have BBQ sauce on them ribs. I also do fajitas in BBQ sauce. And GOOD BBQ sauce need not be sugar loaded. I make mine without sugar.

You gotta watch the bbq sauces too. Sweet Baby Rays is another K of D. It’s all high fructose corn syrup. . Ketchup is an abomination. I’m a dry rub or vinegar based sauce guy. Stubbs sauce is awesome esp the spicy 🌶. You poor souls who don’t like sardines, kippers and anchovies need to develop a complex mature palate.

A couple guys down the hall from my dorm room in college almost came to blows over sardines. The consumer of said sardines agreed to sit out in the hall when he wished to enjoy some, gracing the rest of the floor with the odor.

As an aside, the kid next door to them was a real ass - he forgot to close his door once so the roommates teamed up and hid a few open cans in his room (this guy didn't have a roommate, fortunately). He didn't discover them for over a week, until the smell started to make him retch.

See, people will take shots at pucky for other (nonsensical) reasons, but not the lubrication factor. Deep down they know the critical role that pucky plays in sliding that bite right on down the hatch.

And someone mentioned PB&J. I didn't see a response from the nonpucky crowd on that delectable choice of cuisine.

I reject the culinary opinions of Minnesotans. The upper mid-west is a culinary void.

I’m not from the Midwest, but my family is ALL Norwegian and Swedish and this is exactly how we cooked.

Is Lutefisk processed to the point of becoming pucky?

I just looked up Lutefisk. I can't unsee that.

I threatened to disown my girls for doing this. They still do. SMH.

My son puts ketchup on everything, including his salad. He got a bottle in his xmas stocking and was stoked about it.

I make my own BBQ sauce when I want something special. I use honey rather than sugar or corn syrup. And ick to sardines, kippers and ESPECIALLY anchovies. Only thing anchovies is good for is bait fish. I used to fish off the pier in Oceanside, California with those as bait. Only time I ever bought any. Tried anchovies on pizza once. Spit out and and threw the pizza away. LOL Sometimes with ribs though, is no sauce at all. I marinade them 2-3 days and then grill them. No BBQ sauce needed.

and GOOD BBQ need not be sauced!

Blasphemy!

 

[kwyeewyk]

How about real maple syrup on pancakes or waffles? BBQ sauce is my other blasphemy, while I appreciate good dry rub bbq, I do like some sweet and spicy sauce.

There’s nothing you can’t accomplish with cream of mushroom soup.

I'm glad I live in the USA where I can make my sandwich the way I want, and you can make your sandwich the way you want.

Ultimately, there's no small hypocrisy in the argument, "I don't eat my sandwich/meat/etc. with X, Y, and Z. I only put A, B, and C on it."

And that tater tot hotdish picture made me hungry.

BBQ sauce is important in the right applications. It's not always necessary either. Sometimes, it is an important part of the preparation of good cue.

When we lived on the farm we would butcher a hog and it fed my uncle's and my family for a couple months. We did not waste anything. Hocks went into stew. All the fat was rendered into lard. Well...I lied...none of us could eat the head LOL. We grew up on lard and used it for everything until the 70s or so when shortening got cheaper than lard and the doctors started pushing shortening over lard. Sometimes a beef and a hog had to last us till harvest time so other than the head and the brains and some of the organs we ate everything.

It's been a long time since my grandpa was around to make head cheese, but now I've got a craving... off to Craigslist to find a pig! My poor wife has no idea what she's in for.

 

[Woodrow F Call]

Tons of places in South Louisiana sell some great head cheese.... usually next to the boudin and cracklins....

Heck, work in a plant and some vendor will bring some by.
