I thought y'all had a vinegar flavor sauce up that way. I like mustard but not sure I would want it in my bbq sauce.

Well, some of us have both (like me).

The kid is taking a AP human geography course and one of their final projects was bring a food that you have a cultural connection to (and write a paper about that connection). So Dad smoked a couple of pork butts and he told about how BBQ in the south is a "fusion of cultures" from the native Americans (brought the cooking technique), the Spanish (brought the pigs), the African American's (spread the technique thru the region) and the English and German settlers brought the sauces (The English used vinegar to preserve the meat and Germans brought the mustard sauce. Many Germans (including my relatives) settled in Central South Carolina and used mustard based sauces which were traditionally served with pork in their country.

And in reality, what's the #1 ingredient in mustard? Vinegar.

while i still prefer a robust tomato based sauce, a nice Carolina mustard sauce is a nice change

I had a waitress talk me into get slaw on my pulled pork sandwich and I reluctantly agreed. I've never eaten it any other way ever since.

Most things need to have sauce on them maybe it's weird, but my wife and I like the slight char you get when you use a sugar based sauce (especially things chicken thighs or leg quarters). But some things, I just do dry with nice spicy rub and no sauce.

Vinegar sauce is the only answer for pulled pork. Tomato based sauce is for beef. Mustard base is trash

Slaw and chopped pork with a vinegar based sauce…or you ain’t really country or southern. The best I have ever had was at a gas station/ package store in the bootheel
Of Missouri right on the Arkansas line. All along the Mississippi River from south of the Ohio River….Sikeston Missouri to West Helena Arkansas has the best chopped
Pork sandwiches…usually in places that are not exactly elegant or Taj Majal like.

When it comes to talking bbq sauce a Alabama fan needs to go sit down and zip it. You morons think a white mayo sauce is a bbq sauce

Uh, wrong answer. If you have to chop the pork you never got it hot enough (close to 200 Deg F) to properly render the fat.....

Now if we're talking whole hog, and you're chopping it to consolidate the other bits of the hog that get in there when you pull it, that's a different conversation...

Got to disagree. I've ran Maurice Piggy Park and chopped leg quarters every day to make the chopped pulled pork. Everyone i know here chops the cooked product

Good brisket on a ciabatta roll with Alabama white sauce. Hard to beat.

Only a mustard lapping dolt would think white sauce was for pork, it’s for chicken, chicken

Get it to 204 …get it off and let it sit for two hours…chop it. You get the fat and the grease and all the butt….and then some vi gear based sauces with some slaw and you got some good non dry pork. Some unknowing pull it and then chop it. Better to just chop it. No waste. Way it was done among the poor southerners. And by the way…only use salt and pepper on the butt before cooking. None of that fancy stuff.

Mustard-based HIGHLY underrated.

However I love any barbecue.
