This evening I thought it my duty to catch up on the world of blogging, which I have neglected for too long...but continuing with the Southern theme, here's a great article about the origins of real American BBQ found at Butter Pig, a blog which delightfully fulfils my continuing fascination with the weirdnesses of American food combos that the rest of the world would consider totally disgusting.

Not that BBQ is one of them. Or ribs from Mustang Oil, our wonderful American equivalent of the greasy caff, the petrol station diner with the best slaw. So good.
