Most everything. Oddly, beef ribs never make it out of the slaughter house. And pork robs are mainly the fatty parts closer to the spine. The problem is usually not the meat. It is the spices. Also, I have seen some recipes that start with some available product and add to that. This is often the stumbling block. The best recipes would be those fully from scratch. > > The staples for BBQ here are pork butt, pork or beef ribs, beef brisket. Sweden follows the French style of butchery. Which is oddly very primitive, and not sensitive to the grain of the meat. Quite often the cuts look like bits of an animal killed in a horrific train wreck. Pieces cut at surprising angles. Also, meat is usually not aged. So beef is red as red can be. Finding aged meats is a chore here. All this is sad as Swedish beef is of the highest quality. Animals here have happy lives. A favorite brand of pork is called 'happy pig' because the pigs live outside and get to be, well, pigs. Alas, all this is tradition and will not be changing any time soon. > > I'm defining BBQ here as slow smoked meats, not done over a gas grill. > > But I also smoke regular hams (the fully cooked and already smoked kinds), > BBQ > baked beans, cheese, fish, bacon etc. > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] > Unsub/Pause/Etc : http://mail.linux-sxs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/general -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems AB Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
