Alabama: I made barbecue!

Texas: Awesome, what did you make?

Alabama: I just said- barbecue.

Texas: But did you smoke brisket, or ribs, or sausage, or turkey, or maybe pork shoulder...

Alabama: Smoked pork shoulder, with a really good sauce. That's what barbecue is.

Texas: Oh, tasted pretty good, not bad. But if you used a dry rub instead of sauce, and switched it or for brisket too, then you would have barbecue.
