[TriLUG] Not Linux: Anyone else feeling the pain?

[Neil L. Little]

The carolina style of BBQ has its origins in the native American 
inhabitants and taken up by settlers coming down overland from the james 
town colony and up the cape fear river from Wilmington.

There are 2 documented forms of pork BBQ in NC.
1. Down-east or eastern NC is Whole Hog, with a vinegar sauce and red 
pepper. (original style)
2. Piedmont (or Lexington style) is pork shoulder, with a vinegar-tomato 
sauce and black pepper. (first documented in 1900s)
