Why is it that the common black stereotype is that they “know” some type of food? It’s usually chicken or ribs, and I’ve never seen any black person do either any justice. People have discussed black people and their chicken to death here, but the ribs are just as bad.
I was at a pool party Saturday afternoon where a black dude, nice enough guy, was manning a grill. He was cooking some pork ribs. He ended up pouring two, maybe more, different types of Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce (I saw a bottle of Stubb’s somewhere too so I’m sure that was used) directly onto the ribs as they were cooking on this grill. No brush, just poured it right on from a high angle. All of the neighborhood kids were super excited for this. When the food was “cooked”, none of them could tear the meat from the bone, but they were smacking their lips loudly as they licked the sauce off. I didn’t try any (I know better), but I saw some other white people try to brave it and they didn’t get too far either, but they didn’t slurp the sauce down. I’m sure the children would’ve been content just being handed a bottle of BBQ sauce to consume.
