A GUIDE TO SOUTH CAROLINA BBQ AND THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
South Carolina is divided into three parts, demarcated by recipes for pulled-pork barbecue: the vinegar-and-pepper sauce region, tomato-based concoction section, and the mustard belt.
According to Andrew Rice at Capital New York, this tribal geography supersedes race, religion, maybe even college football—and it also happens to coincide rather closely with the divisions of the Republican electorate (and explains why Romney is likely to win).
Mustard-based barbecue? WTF is that?
Delicious is what it is. Also, sadly, largely unknown outside its home territory.
I have about zero interest in the “political” elements of this story. I must however defend the honor and awesomeness of South Carolina mustard-based barbecue. Quite frankly, the ignorance of this culinary delight across the rest of this country is disappointing. Then again, there is still a large contingent of people in NYC that still think the stuff served at places like Dallas BBQ constitutes barbecue, when in fact it is an abomination.
