A Fine Fiery Fathers Day

Debates about the perfect barbecue sauce are pointless, but so entertaining! Let me throw down the gauntlet: that there sauce above meets all the criteria for a perfect sauce. Despite the label warning to "keep away from eyes and genitalia" it's just about two-alarm. That's hot enough to get your attention, but it doesn't send you rushing for the milk, and it won't be featured at a fraternity hazing prank.

It has enough sugar to caramelize on the outside of pork or beef (or, hell, shrimp, tofu or Quorn, probably), but not so sweet it interferes with the flavor of the meat. It has a good solid edge of vinegar but not so much that the fumes cook off with that nose-twitching whiff.

All in all, I wonder what ulika thinks of it. And I'm looking for a bottle of it--or eight, actually--for the fathers in my family. I know--we're a class act all the way!

this is a new one on me, but sounds worthy of a sample and review
also what is this tofu and quorn you speak of?

Thanks for all the good advice on where to celebrate. My fellow co-workers have benefited from all your food advice for our four year stay here in Nashville. Can you help us out with advice on where to eat in Baton Rouge? We miss you and Patrice.
