You mean like pot roast?

I'm not well versed on meats. According to your description Gregor, I need to liken cutting meat to cutting wood: against the grain - that way, I'll never forget.

I find the whole chauvinistic “My BBQ is better than yours” shtick we are treated to on various food TV shows and writing to be artless and crude. Food SHOULD be inclusive and NOT exclusive. Food is not about testosterone-laden showmanship, nationalism, or any of those misplaced concepts.

I prefer to look at each BBQ experience for what it is - a personalized recipe that has its own unique attributes. Each way is good in itself and can be appreciated that way. Its exciting because this means that there are so many BBQs to try in this life!

There are shows on TV about cooking? Perhaps this television thing isn't just a fad. I should look into this.

"but Mello" what? I'll watch Julia Child when I can afford the DVDs. You want me to buy cable just for a cooking show that airs while I'm at work?
