It's not you, brisket, it's me

mrlederman · Feb 28, 2013

I know this may sound crazy, but I am not a huge fan of brisket. Don't get me wrong, it is good and I will definitely eat it; however, I don't LOVE it like so many others do.

Does anyone else feel the same way about brisket or any other foods that many people love, but you just don't get?

I know this is pretty random, just something I thought about when I had a bite of a brisket sandwich the other day. I ordered the pulled pork.

YUP

for me, could be though, i never had it fixed by a true brisket junkie too. not a big fan, but NEVER going to turn down a chance to try it done a different way. might find somebody somewhere that can fix it in a way i like it.

I am the same, I will definitely give brisket a try. However, no bacon? I don't know what to say. To each their own, I guess?

Okay Bill....I am taking your Man Card away!

Just kidding. I am surprised with that.....

My Husband doesn't really like pork....but he can easily put away a bunch of bacon. He likes brisket but is very picky. I haven't mastered which way he like it best. BUT in this world....it's nice to have different opinions. Would be boring if everyone liked the same old things.

I'm kinda with you. I don't hate brisket, but given the choice, I'd likely have something else. I like cooking them though, as it's challenging and allows for a lot of beer drinking time. I've also realized I'm not a huge fan of ribs. Again, I don't hate them, but GOOD ribs are nearly impossible to come by in a restaurant, and I've pretty much burned myself out on my own, as I went through a phase where I was chasing perfection and smoked a LOT of ribs over about a year. Never did attain perfection (does it even exist?) but I think I came pretty close.

You people are killing me...first brisket, then bacon?!@#$ What's next...sex?

My wife is the same way

Pork - Likes: Sandwich Ham, Ham off the bone and Bacon Dislikes: thick cut Ham, ribs, pork.

Beef - Likes: ground beef, hamburger steak Dislikes: any other cut of beef

Poultry - Likes: Chicken nuggets/fried tenders, turkey off of the bird Dislikes: any poultry other than chicken or turkey, Chicken/Turkey not deep fried/breaded.

Try making meals or finding good places to eat with these requirements.

I'm on team Bill!! I'm not crazy about brisket. I cook it and others love it, all good and well, but there's something I don't like about the flavor. Yea, I have really good brisket and I can still take it or leave it.

Found you a more appropriate web forum...:Cake:

This is a very casual (and sometimes downright crude) discussion forum for cake decorators and baking enthusiasts.

Sorry, couldn't resist the temptation at a stab...I Love Brisket, bacon...I could live w/o, but I like it (we're just friends).

Oh Bless your heart! My hubby will cut into meats and take every inch or microbe of "snotty stuff" as he calls it off. It takes him forever to cut even the most nano pieces away. Then he complains about things being a "twang" that isn't right...or the meat is chewy.....(and it's melting in your mouth)....or its sinewy.....Jeeze!

I'll take a nice hot link in a potato bun covered in pulled pork with a spicey sauce on top over brisket any day of the week. They are simply fa bulous.

dirtsailor2003 · Feb 28, 2013

I'd much rather have a real nice tri-tip, than a brisket!! In fact I'd rather have ribs more than brisket!

pgsmoker64 · Feb 28, 2013

Okay...my mind is blown by these candid confessions!

Someone call the padre!

Don't like bacon or brisket? Wow....I could live off bacon!!!

I love brisket but would rather have pulled pork or ribs any day of the week!

I figgered out my problem....I'm a BBQ junkie!!!!! I'll eat dang near anything if you put a lil smoke on 'er! Nuthin disgusting...but meat wise - don't eat balls though...just kinda hurts me to even think about that....

That hot link covered in pulled pork sounds good.

I told ya'll... hahaha I don't hate bacon.... but I don't like it! I like the smell of it, fry taters in bacon grease, and have had it on burgers and it wasn't bad (wasn't great... but wasn't bad). I would much rather have breakfast sausage than bacon.

grimpuppy · Feb 28, 2013

I can't finish a piece of smoked chicken. I love chicken about any way it can be made. Fried, baked, beer butt, grilled, BBQ and about any other way. But once the smoke hits it, I just can not stomach it. Love everything else smoked including turkey just not chicken for some reason.

Brisket...No problem but even though I have tried it many times, I just can't see all the fuss about...SALMON...Just not my thing. I love lean fish, Haddock, Cod, Grouper and especially Chilean Sea Bass and Raw/Seared Tuna...JJ

I think that qualifies as HERESY!

Oh well to each their own. That just leaves more bacon for the rest of us!

BTW I like brisket just fine but given a choice between ribs or pulled pork or brisket, the brisket will usually come in third.
