Barbeque...any kind/or all where the meat just falls off....
Dayumm...I am getting HUNGRY  |
Certainly I can appreciate a nice cut of beef, and the simplicity of a nicely cooked steak. Occassionally a sauce can be nice, but A-1 would not be among my choices. Steak Au Poive is very nice, as is a small puddle of Hollandaise on the side.
Chili... Beans?
I thought they shot people at the state line who thought beans are in Chili.
As for Barbeque, falling off the bone is not good for ribs. It is easy to achieve by keeping the ribs wet during cooking, but the meat looses its' "Bite", and just becomes mushy. I much prefer competition style ribs. Here the judging criteria for the "Texture" is that the meat should be tender, but after biting, you should be able to make out the bite marks in the meat.
I've taken several ladies to eat, and typically choose fairly high end restaurants to do so. One occasion I remember the lady having a bit of difficulty choosing from the menu, so I decided to help her out by asking what she was interested in, and what I would choose off the menu based on her preferances. It always pays to treat others as you'd want to be treated. She appreciated the help as she just didn't understand some of the sauces and other terms used in some of the descriptions.
It did get a bit funny for desert, since she said she'd like to try something but wasn't sure what... so we decided to share the Tiramisu. While eating it she started explaining that as she was an alcoholic, that she didn't have any wine with me. At which point I needed to explain that the couple bites she had, did contain a small amount of liquor, which she was surprised to learn. She laughed a bit, and said not to worry, it wouldn't send her off the wagon.
So, I don't see any harm in anyones preferences, but I do think that if they haven't had a truly excellent version of the entree, they should always be open to trying it the way the chef prepared it!
I am glad i asked because it seems Sheparskii and Mtabsw did it
