You're so right Vic
Quote: Billy Bunter @ 24th May 2023, 8:54 PMI'd rather eat something that has a better than 50% chance of not giving me food poisoning. Rather than something that is burnt on the outside and uncooked on the inside.
Come to Texas where we know how to do it right.

Like I say, burnt on the outside...
Quote: Billy Bunter @ 25th May 2023, 8:28 AMLike I say, burnt on the outside...
It's not burned (it was never anywhere near a flame), and it's certainly not undercooked on the inside after spending 12 hours in a smoker. It's moist, flavorful brisket, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs, and juicy sausage. /drool
I think US BBQ and UK BBQ are two entirely different, I hesitate use the word, cuisines.
We essentially grill in the spirit of the Ozzie Barbie.
Very little smoking going on.

Slow smoking is the way to go. No doubt about it.
I've seen a few Texas-style BBQ places in the UK that look fairly legit. I'll have to try one the next time I'm there.
These British guys called their Texas BBQ experience the best meal of their lives:
I'll be quite happy when they finally come up with that pill they promised us back in the 60s to replace the need for food. Avoid all that unnecessary chewing.
Apart from buns & cakes of course.
Getting ready to head to the airport for four days of fun and beer drinking. I'll meet my son and his wife at LAX tonight; then, we'll spend the night in Hollywood (yuck) and head to Paso Robles tomorrow morning. The town is most famous for producing world-class wines, but they also have a world-class brewery in Firestone Walker. I was stationed in Paso Robles from 1987 until 1989, so I should be able to meet up with a few Army buddies who still live there.
The festival has an impressive list of invited breweries:

After a stressful day, no car due to MOT and having to use public transport, work etc. I needed some fun and went to see John Otway and Wild Willie Barrett. Brilliant entertainment. Catch them if you can. You won't be disappointed (unless you're a music lover!). They're all over the country celebrating 50 years since they first started together - or Half a Sentry.
On my hols in a Torbay hotel in a room "with a sea view":
You can see the sea. It's over there, between the land and the sky...
No wildebeests 🥺

No, but turn your head slightly and the view is quite spectacular:
I finished my chemo and radiation therapy yesterday, now have to wait 8- 10 weeks to get scans to see if it has shrunk my tumour to the point it can be operated on. The delay is not a NHS waiting list issue, its the time needed to see if it works,
What I can say with my hand on my heart is that the McMillian cancer care is amazing and around the clock if you get scared. Once I am on my feet and working again they will be my first donation,
So now while I wait I will write, I did plan to earlier but all I could do was sleep to be honest.

Great to hear.
Good luck with everything - including the writing!
