These meats are tough, chewy and generally so poor in quality that they are undesirable for cooking. Barbecue takes advantage of the high fat and connective tissues in these meats to make them great. During the long, slow cooking times of smoking the fat melts and the connective tissue breaks down. This sweetens the meat and keeps it moist during smoking. Good cuts of meat like pork tenderloin, a steak, or a good lean roast don’t benefit from this type of cooking and should be cooked differently.

If you are new to smoking I suggest a small pork shoulder roast like a Boston Butt or a picnic. Ask your butcher, he’ll know what you’re talking about. These cuts are generally forgiving and relatively inexpensive. As you learn you can move to larger and more difficult cuts and before you know it you’ll master the art of true barbecue. ”

Just to make sure we are all on the same page, these dipping sauces, listed below are to be used with meat fondue, chicken fondue, or seafood fondue. Obviously, you don’t need added sauces for Cheese Fondue – being that it is a sauce unto itself! A combination of 3 to 6 fondue dipping sauces is usually plenty to serve with your fondue. But, don’t let that stop you, if more appeal to you and your crowd, then go for it! Make 10 sauces. Some recipes will require you to make them just proceeding your dinner, but not all. Just carefully follow the directions and the recipe will spell it out for you when you should make each sauce.

Some fondues can also include other condiments besides the sauces you make. These are the easy ones! Teriyaki sauce, ketchup, chili sauce, mustards, meat sauces, pickle relish, chutneys and tartar sauce can all be found in your local store. Of course, if you are feeling a little Martha Stewart-ish, go ahead and make any of the above from scratch. Some of my favorite fondue dipping sauces are: Tomato Lemon Chutney, Sour Cream Mustard Sauce, and Chipotle Tartar Sauce. Fondue dipping sauces are like the icing on the cake. They add interest, sparkle and flavor. Experiment, try new sauces, make them up. It’s really hard to mess up a sauce. If you don’t like it, try another one. As they say, variety is the spice of life.

In general, Vietnamese use rice noodles such as bun, pho, and mien. Bun noodles are thin and round strands like threads and are known as rice sticks or vermicelli. Pho noodles are flat and wide. Mien noodles are thin and round similar to bun but are clear or transparent instead of milky in color. Mien noodles are known as glass noodles. Egg noodles are yellow and known as mi. Each noodle has its own flavor and texture. Noodles are a great substitute for rice when one needs a change of pace. One great perk with rice noodles is that they are gluten free. The dry version of Vietnamese noodle dishes are stir-fry. The noodles are often stir-fried with vegetables and/or your favorite meat. They can be cooked in a crunchy or soft form. Either way will taste great depending on your mood at eating time. Thinking of it makes my mouth water, yummy.

Most people’s favourite, me included, is the Charcoal barbecue. It is probably the widest used in the United Kingdom and does have a sort of superiority where the taste of food is concerned. Yes it might take a while to light and get going but at the end of the day (no pun intended) the evening smell of the charcoal and meat cooking is a delight without doubt. It also has the detrimental effect of needing attention the following morning with the ashes clearance but it doesn’t seem to put people off from having one. Deciding on the position of the outdoor cooking area needs some thought. It should be close to the actual house and is possible would be ideal if it were extended directly out from the house. Near the kitchen would help in the distribution of crockery and knives and forks but not if near a tree. Finally make sure the neighbours are not inconvenienced. No matter how well you get on with them if you become a barbecue addict they might not take kindly to a continual battering from smoke during their summer.
