"It is very significant that some of the most thoughtful and cultured
men are partisans of a pure vegetable diet." -- Mahatma Gandhi

"The animals you eat are not those who devour others; you do not eat
the carnivorous beasts, you take them as your pattern. You only hunger
after sweet and gentle creatures who harm no one, which follow you,
serve you, and are devoured by you as the reward of their service." --
Jean Jacques Rousseau

"This [video footage from the movie Babe] is the way Americans want to
think of pigs. Real-life 'Babes' see no sun in their limited lives,
with no hay to lie on, no mud to roll in. The sows live in tiny cages,
so narrow they can't even turn around. They live over metal grates,
and their waste is pushed through slats beneath them and flushed into
huge pits." -- Morley Safer, 60 Minutes

"Think of me tonite/ For that which you savor/ Did it give you
something real,/ or could you taste the pain of my death in its
flavor?" -- Wayne K. Tolson

#1 Lexington #1 Dipping Sauce

1 quart ketchup
1 quart vinegar - (amber 4% acidity)
10 ounces sugar
8 ounces salt
4 ounces black pepper
4 ounces crushed red pepper
1 pinch red cayenne pepper - ground


Combine all ingredients into a 1.5 gallon stock pot along
with 1 gallon of water and bring to a boil, stirring
occasionally. Spoon the piping hot dip onto the prepared
meat just prior to serving. This is a very thin sauce,
but it is the same formula that has been used around here
for generations.

This recipe was posted a while back by the son-in-law of
the owner of Lexington #1, a highly regarded Q-joint.
There is a certain amount of vagueness about whether the
measurements are by weight or volume. I used weight for
the dry ingredients and am very happy with the results.



#2 Lexington Barbecue Dip

3/4 cup distilled white or cider vinegar
3/4 cup ketchup
3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes - crushed
salt and pepper - to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup water


Recipe by: Craig Claiborne Combine all ingredients in a
small sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring,
until the sugar dissolves.

Remove from heat and let stand until cool. Spoon sauce
over Barbequed meats or poultry.



#3 Lexington Dipping Sauce #1

1/2 quart ketchup
1/2 quart vinegar (4%)
1/2 cup pepper
1/2 cup crushed red pepper
2 cups kosher salt
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 pinch cayenne

Made up a batch of Lexington #1 dipping sauce to go with my
pork butt tonight. Very delicious, indeed. I broke it down
in half and used the highly scientific method of buying 2
ounces of pepper, measuring it, and using that as the basis
for dried measurements.
Next time I'll reduce the salt and sugar a little bit
(1/8 to 1/4 cup each?)

Sauce was great.. Perfect compliment to pork. The idea of
using it hot is so obvious, but was a big revelation to me.
Keeps the meat nice and hot. Didn't get around to making slaw.

Here's my current fave for pulled pig- I'm not so sure of the actual
true 'Carolina-ness' of it but methinks the spices add a nice touch.
(I'm also at a loss to attribute it-sigh)

i do love a good insult especially when it is delivered by someone that not
only uses faux in banter but manages also to embody it and in the spirit of
this riposte that utilized what little francophilia that filters down to the
heretical ketchup fructose corn syrup heathen i shall rejoind that mustard
on a pig is a gift from the enlightened to the blignorant
(blissful+ignorant=blignorant) a touch of cultural philanthropy perhaps a
bit of noblesse-oblige (more francophilic turns of phrase...) delivered from
the sanctum snatorum of the palmetto state to the molasses penal colonies to
our immediate and farther west and the backwood white vinegar outposts to
our north a bow and a flourish from Wade Hampton's horse to Strom's
plantation boogie...Salud.

fourth grade dude? Or did you?

punctuation which was indeed quite reminiscent of the fourth
grade....shite-a-bed scoundrel, doddipol jolthead...use some style with your
