Knowing nothing about Southern cooking/barbecue, but I gotta ask...seems to us tourists that every damn thing on the menu is loaded with sugar...in one form or another. Brown sugar, molasses, sugar sugar, sucktose and fuctose, honey, corn syrup...from sweet tea to good cuts of meat, a rack of ribs southern style seems to be the equivalent of eating a full dozen cop donuts with sprinkles...even fish for crissake. What is with the sugar obsession? I use no sugar. Then again I refuse to give money for BBQ. Most overpriced food there is. I do my own to my own liking. What happens when you mix tight wad square heads with tight wad Scots. I tried eating store bought BBQ a couple times. I decided I couldn't afford it. If it was a quarter of the money I might enjoy it more.
I am MAGA.

Amen on the hushpuppies or corn bread on the plate with the pig and slaw and tater salad or baked beans. You only need the white bread for a sandwich with que and slaw

As a Yankee who had the good fortune to live in South Carolina in the 70's i ate lots of damn good BBQ! I liked the places where they was always a pitcher of sweet tea and assorted hot sauces sitting on the table. I never ate the ever present bread, just lots of really good pulled pork!

A home made cheesy garlic biscuit would do the trick.

When I was in college a long time ago, I had a friend there who was from Texas. We ate in an old boarding house. He called white bread, "wasp nest." "Pass the wasp nest down this way, Fred. I need to sop up this gravy."  L.W.

Why in the world does there need to be a schitty piece of white wonder bread slopped on the plate next to some BBQ that obviously took hours if not days to make? It seems like throwing a walmart bumper sticker on a Mercedes. It seems to be a prerequisite. Why not some good homemade bread? Next you will be complaining that nobody set out Grandma's polished silver set instead of using the shrinkwrapped plastic fork/knife packets

Every meal at my grandmother's farm house, there was a plate with 1/2 a loaf of white bread that was passed with all the other food. And she was not from the south.

Lots of southerners love sugar and white bread. Koolaid, sweet tea, all kinds of sugared up foods. Don’t know why. Been that way since I was a kid in the 80’s and I’m sure for generations before that.
No surprise southern states have the highest rates of the beetus and obesity.

I was eating at Dreamland BBQ in Tuscaloosa back in the late 80s when it was still really good. An out of stater asked the waitress for a menu. She wrote on a napkin "Ribs, white bread"
As for Southern BBQ being full of sugar. That is not the way it was where I grew up in North Alabama. A good dry rub was applied before slow cooking and maybe a little tangy sauce towards the end, but none of this sweet ketchup and brown sugar based stuff that passes for sauce elsewhere. Also, no self respecting Southerner would ever add a grain of sugar to their cornbread.

Roast beef is BBQ? Who knew? If it's not slow smoked pork shoulder, or maybe ribs, it's not BBQ!

Great BBQ is made in some sketchy places…. Dad used to say the best BBQ came from places that couldn't pass the health department inspection. . The Ol Man was right. The Health Department here is all proud of their new $$$$ from the big scam. Some great places getting hassled for “Safety”……. Just not right to let scared sheep decide how pork should be rubbed and smoked.

I must not've been exposed to authentic southern cooking. I went to a heavy equipment auction a while back, the caterer had a big sign advertising "Bill's Southern Style BBQ". He had a huge trailer bbq grill where he was slow cooking racks and racks of baby back ribs on hardwood....just beautiful, brown sizzling, dripping...we could smell it for hours while the auction was going on. Cutting to the chase, Bill's server would cut off a big portion, slather it with some kind of 90 weight brown sugar sauce, put a couple of what appeared to be a rice, pork, onion mixture rolled in a cabbage leaf and doused with sweet tamarind sauce (actually very good) and a huge white sweet honey soft dinner roll. All followed with sugar glazed pecan cluster in a cupcake cup. So, the main, sugar ribs, veg, sugar cabbage roll, a sugar starch, and sugar dessert. I think I caught the diabeetus for three days after I got home. But in honesty, I ate it all, it was in California, and Bill claiming 'Southern'....he mighta been from Bakersfield. Well Bill sounds like a dickhead.

If you haven’t been to Western Kentucky, you don’t know what good Barbecue really is…………..
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Also, no self respecting Southerner would ever add a grain of sugar to their cornbread. It was still good in the mid 90's. We would usually go in a group. It was ribs, beer, soda, bread and paper towels. They would bring out plates of ribs and loaves of day old bread from the Sunbeam Bakery. Ole guy runnin' the place then told us the bread was free! Everything stayed on the table (bones & cans) until everyone was full. Then the ole boy would come out, count the cans and estimate the amount of ribs eaten by the pile of bones. Finally he would spit out a number for the final bill. Cash only, and change was made in a cigar box. Good times indeed...
