@f00l Though I’m not a full-on vegan (I’d say I’m “vegetarian adjacent”) I could put up an argument with you on that statement. I’ve made some MEAN tofu skewers on the Traeger. Lots of other veggie goodness as well. Low & slow + lots of smoke=BBQ to me! As far as the crockpot goes, you’d be correct, though it does assist in making some pretty good side dishes.
@f00l technically Bbq doesn’t have to be meat though it typically is. It’s an indirect method of cooking usually at a lower and longer temp and the food is flavored by smoke be it charcoal or wood. Typically you keep the average temp between 200-250. I did know one pit boss who swore by keeping it between 160-180. It’s all down to the person and their method. Definitely agree on the crockpot thing though. That’s not bbq.
So I’ve been lead to understand there’s a difference between grilling out and BBQ.
Grilling is out is using an outdoor gas or charcoal grill to cook, while BBQ is something cooked with BBQ sauce.
Grilling uses high, direct heat to cook food quickly, while barbecuing is a slow-cooking method using low, indirect heat, often with smoke…

@chienfou@kittykat9180 I actually think in some cases the term barbecue depends on where you grew up and when you grew up. We barbecued hamburgers yes that’s what you called it where I live what I was a kid,
@Cerridwyn@chienfou@kittykat9180 My Dad was a Hasty Bake grill man. So, growing up, we always called it “grilling” or “smoking” depending on the apparatus in use. As I got older, here in Oklahome, I became aware many folks always said “barbecue” regardless of the technique. I don’t get jammed up over it, but I do love me a nice smoked brisket.
Ain’t no way no how am I gonna argue with an authentic respectable Texas lady such as yourself 'bout BBQ. I’m gonna just say yes ma’am and no ma’am like a proper man should.
@kittykat9180 I never understood why/how “Sloppy Joes” became known as “Barbecues” (or was it the other way around?) That kind of plays into your premise of BBQ being “cooked with BBQ sauce”.

If you are in a trad kinda down home BBQ place with friends
Esp one w sawdust on the floor
And you’re well quite fed.
And you’ve had plenty of beer. Plenty
(Like one or more 64oz steins or glasses per person)
And you’re in your very early 20’s
And it’s the middle of the afternoon and the place is kinda seriously full on empty
And you just went to the movie palace (assuming those still exist)
and saw a controversial European “art film”
(Such as, for instance, Last Tango in Paris)
And you are drunk as a skunk and so are your friends
And the BBQ place staff does not mind at all
…
If those criteria are met then it might or might not be perfectly ok to hold the Tabasco sauce bottle upside down above your mouth and shake some Tobasco directly down your gullet.
Yum.
It’s best if no blue haired society ladies are at a nearby table. (Unless those ladies are also quite drunk)
Bbq isn’t vegan and isn’t made in a crock pot.

@tohar1
You’re good. Bet everything tastes great.
My commentary was about humorous agreement w a comic video.

Also (IMHO), persons who make vegetarian or vegan BBQ should prob make sure invited diners (who may be clueless) understand what to expect.
Just as if I (Texan) make and serve “Cincinnati chili” (which I have enjoyed) … I’d let people know what to expect.
Just because most people I know don’t wanna sit down to dinner and then find a surprise.

@therealjrn
That guy has a hilarious southern YouTube channel.
He talks about the SEC a lot. (Doesn’t play favorites)
And rates little Debbie snacks.
And talks about the proper spacing between Dollar general stores.
And explains southern driving.
Any state that has an SEC team is within his idea of “southern”.
@f00l
Seriously! DGs must be very cheap to build.

The BBQ sauce is optional.

@Cerridwyn @kittykat9180
True enough. When I was growing up in St Louis grilling & barbecuing were synonymous for most folks
@chienfou @kittykat9180 sort of like is it soda, pop, or something else

@Cerridwyn @chienfou @therealjrn
It’s hard to keep it all straight.
I always thought BBQ and grilling were synonymous.
@Cerridwyn @chienfou @kittykat9180 @therealjrn
At home, many people use BBQ as synonymous with grilling.
In a restaurant setting, proper BBQ (the real deal) involves a BBQ pit and a pit-master.

@mediocrebot Thanks, it’s 1:00 and now I’m craving a Sloppy Joe!
My understanding is that barbecue can be either a preparation style or a seasoning; often, it combines both.
“BBQ beans” is a thing.
@werehatrack
The term “BBQ” can sometimes get as shaken onto as many foodsas Tabasco sauce can.
It’s Southern regions where people know what “proper BBQ” is, they usually don’t act like the language police.
Besides BBQ beans can be served with trad BBQ meat or tofu (@tohar1) or whatever
Hint about BBQ place etiquette:
If you are in a trad kinda down home BBQ place with friends
Esp one w sawdust on the floor
And you’re well quite fed.
And you’ve had plenty of beer. Plenty
(Like one or more 64oz steins or glasses per person)
And you’re in your very early 20’s
And it’s the middle of the afternoon and the place is kinda seriously full on empty
And you just went to the movie palace (assuming those still exist)
and saw a controversial European “art film”
(Such as, for instance, Last Tango in Paris)
And you are drunk as a skunk and so are your friends
And the BBQ place staff does not mind at all
