Ain't that the truth!

You know, back in 2010 when I joined, it was a much smaller place focused on teaching people how to make good Q, among other things. Maybe we need to quit the marketing aspect and go back to that. It's Jeff's site and he can do what he pleases with it, but it used to be a much less commercially focused place.

I have to add a few things to this thread.

I have family recipes that have been handed to me from my mom (And her mom….etc) Did I share them on this forum? Yes, but not all. Why? It’s a family secret. I keep it close to my heart, and I want to pass that on to my son and daughter.

In addition, some recipes I receive as a gift, promising not to share. And I plan on keeping my word.

That’s all I have to say.

Nothing wrong with that

Think I'll go post in your other thread Jerry, the one about links...it's not getting any response! Lol Just kidding!

But on a serious note, I think I know the thread that started it...I commented in it. I had an issue with the guy that wouldn't post his recipe or recipes...but not for that reason. I was unhappy on how he treated a long time member of this forum. As a business owner that had very few posts and wouldn't post a recipe but then to say a major contributor to this forum was no help is BS. Someone got called out by the main food safety guy on the forum, others got their feel bads hurt because of it.
As a lurker and as a member here I remember posts from both Pop's and Chef Jimmy that basically told people we can't give that type of advice to restaurant owners (or those thinking of doing so or new start ups...not exactly sure how to state that). And I agree with that.
To me this site is all about teaching and learning from others. As a newbie I learned alot, and continue to learn and keep trying new things (umai is next! The order has been placed). But I also hope I have helped others learn something as newbies coming to this site.

Nothing at all wrong with keeping certain things under your hat, but don't post the cook if you can't give the details. The site is supposed to be instructive, so if you can't give ingredients/methods, what's the point?

Id say if you are an active member and you share freely but one day you post a cook using a family recipe but don't want to share anything besides the cook that's fine with me. I can appreciate that. Don't join the site and spam it with the last 4 months of your cooks with no details though

Wished I had more recipes from my grandparents to share! I understand why you don't want to share all of yours...especially those entrusted to you by others. But only knew one grandparent, think I was 7 when she passed. Wished I could have learned more. All I have is this...

This crock was buried in our basement floor, about 2 or 3 inches of the top showing. This was where grandma stored her meat, from what I was told anyway.

I really enjoy seeing the threads on different cooks. I don't care if there is a recipe or not honestly, but some may. I like reading about the Cook details but I'm not going to ask someone something that isn't volunteered. I appreciate a good tip as much as the next guy but I don't depend on them to cook food (like most everyone here). If the new guys are trying, good on them, throw em a bone and they will learn like the rest of us did. Trial and error. I don't want to offend anyone here just stating my opinion. I do take issue with people that don't contribute and try to profit of those that do share though. It's a cool place to hang out all in all.

I will freely share most any recipe when asked to post. And I have freely shared my knowledge and what I am learning in my new direction making dry cured meats and salami. Matter of fact, I have a thread up on what I have learned over the course of my two years doing it so far...both failures and successes. The ONLY two recipes I won't post online in an open forum are my Cajun smoke sausage recipe and the Cajun Andouille recipe that I have that I received from my family. I will also help new people in the finer points of sausage making and charcuterie for anyone wanting to learn.

 

[bigfurmn]

The people here are 99% awesome people. I believe most of us enjoy learning and sharing with each other. I agree that certain things can be a secret, but be respectful and just say that to begin with. As consumers if we don’t like like the post, stop reading it and ignore the poster.

I will have to say yes to grandma.
My dad told me that his mom used to keep a barrel of lard in the back porch and burried the meat in the lard, kept bugs and air from the meat.

Ryan that was just one thread that people demanded the recipe and I don't honestly think they were after the exact recipe but more the methods. Since then it seems some members are giving people who don't post a recipe a hard time quite often. I realize some people think they run this site or should but as I stated earlier Tulsa Jeff owns this site and he makes the rules. I've been a member since 2008 and a staff member since I think 2009 and as far as I know there has never been a rule saying anybody had to post their recipe

 

[Brokenhandle]

Maybe I've missed alot, I'm not sure. Not busting anyone's chops by any means, or don't mean to at least.
It is Jeff's site and he has every right to run it as he sees fit. I really like this site! If I didn't I wouldn't spend as much time here as I do. Sometimes there is drama...not always too bad other times there's more.

With everything the way it is...there's a war going on...if our biggest bitch is if a recipe is shared or not then we should all be grateful. That's perspective !
