Harry, depending on what you want. cooking a 200 lb whole hog can take 18-24 hrs.


That's just wonderful, Tim, but it begs the question, why would I want
to cook a "200 lb whole hog"?

I understand, you would need to have a lot of friends.


There are plenty of places to buy cooked pig around here. I have sampled
the offering of several, and found them pretty good. The first time I
ever had pulled pork or ribs was in Kansas City, at Bryant's, considered
by many to be the best of the best. Ate there at least every other week,
so I know what properly done pork and beer are supposed to taste like.

Of course, I'm sure in No-Wheres-Ville, Florida, where you live, has
many epicurean delights to offer.

Well aren't you the elitist little twerp. I'm shocked.


Never read that lower SW Florida was known for any really special food
dishes. Kansas City is known for terrific barbecue and of course steaks
and sweet corn ?

That just goes to show that you don't know what you don't know.


I've been to SW Florida. Lots of good seafood, especially shrimp, but I
don't recall anything strongly regional to the point where I might say,
"yeah, that's SW Florida cuisine at its best."

Nice try at escape and evasion, but, your original assertion is as
follows: "Of course, I'm sure in No-Wheres-Ville, Florida, where you

Aside from your awkward sentence construction, it turns out that SWFL
has many first class restaurants, some offering regional specialties,
some traditional. Having lived and dined in the New York metro area
for many years, I've sampled some of the best.

Not necessarily regional food but the area we wintered in in Florida
(Jupiter) was populated with many very good restaurants. Several
were owned and/or operated by people who previously had high end and
well known restaurants in New York City and other areas of the
country.Â* When they retired to Florida they opened smaller versions
of their "up north" places and some were very, very good.

I won't dispute that...there are lots of good restaurants in Florida, to
be sure. We like a few Cuban restaurants in the greater Miami area, and
that certainly is a distinct cuisine. Joe's Stone Crab in Miami is also
kind of unique. We went there twice in our last visit. Love stone crabs..
My question, though, was whether there were dishes or cuisines unique to
SW Florida or cuisines for which SW Florida is famous.

Who cares? KC BBQ is good, but Texas BBQ is better. SC BBQ, which is pulled pork, is very good in this region which is mustard-based sauce. NC BBQ is vinegar and pepper based, which is also very good.

The MD BBQ you are talking about is nearly certainly molasses based sauce, which is crap. I don't want a bunch of sugar on my smoky, slow cooked meats. Yuck.

Just because you don't know how to deal with a 200lb pig on a pit for 18 hours and you ate at some BBQ place a couple of times 40 years ago you think you know something about BBQ. Too funny.

Oh, and BTW, BBQ originated in SC. Not KC.

"The first true colony in the Americas, by the way, was in South Carolina. The very first Spanish adventurers that one reads about in the history books were actually Conquistadores, bent on gold and conquest, not on colonizing. The Spanish colonists, who came only slightly later but still in the 1500s, came to South Carolina and they named their colony Santa Elena. It was established in the area that we now call Port Royal in Beaufort County. That colony lasted almost 20 years and it boasted a fort with several cannons, a church, a bakery, blacksmith foundry and shop, a pottery kiln and nearly 500 colonists including over 100 families. It was in that first American colony that the white man first learned to prepare and to eat real barbeque thanks to their interactions with the local Native Americans. So, people were eating barbeque in South Carolina long before the name Carolina had been applied to the area by the English."

I ran into that, by accident, in Clearwater Beach. There is an Italian

in a strip mall. They are transplanted New Yorkers and they brought

It is probably going to be seafood, particularly shrimp, since Ft
Myers Beach is one of the biggest shrimp docks in the world.
You can buy shrimp here that was swimming less than 12 hours ago.

Airree's standard modus operandi is to put down anyone or anything not

We just happened to be in Clearwater, driving back from a hiking trip

stopped off at the beach for a couple days.
I am not likely to be down around South Point any time soon but I will
put that one in my pocket if we are.

What is really sad is that I don't think he realizes how he comes across
to people with his comments. He has an elitist air about him and it
seems nothing he does or likes has faults. When was the last time he
posted anything about making a mistake? Normal people have no problem
admitting to goofs or making a poor choice once in a while.
