Are the posted questions getting worse?

Talk of barbecues and England reminds me of a party I went to years ago, the barbecue was one guy flipping burgers while another held an umbrella over the "chef" and food to keep the continuous downpour of rain away! Everyone else was inside watching...
Rodders...
Yep, that's the traditional British BBQ!
Typically served with lashings of alcohol so you don't feel the weather after a while... 🙂

I really feel bad for this guy. He keeps posting weird problems about SPs full of bad practices. I'm sure that he isn't the problem and the problem comes from his teacher.That's part of the problem that delivers mediocre data professionals.
Yeah that requirement was a bit vague and I certainly wouldn't be returning messages from a search stored procedure like that.

The one thing they have in common is slow-roasting meat of some type.A braai has nothing to do with slow roasting anything.
I guess I'll have to read more than one description of it. Either way, I'm certain to learn something new about food.
Hint: Meat (chops, steak, kebabs, wors, sometimes sausage, rarely burgers, never hotdogs), charcoal (not wood, though wood can be used if that's all you have), fire.

For me this is a grill
And this is a barbecue
Am I wrong?
I'd say both are grills here in the U.S.

Both of those are grills. Barbecue is a method of preparing food and an event. "Real" barbeque (the food) isn't made on a grill like that, it usually involves slow roasting or smoking. However, the event called a "barbecue" is when people get together and eat food cooked on a grill like one of those (usually outdoors). The device used for cooking is a grill. Some regions may call it a "barbecue", but I think any grill would fall into that category in most regions where the term is used.
Of course, regionalisms mean it could be called most anything.
For example: In most of the USA, a blended milk and ice cream drink is called a Milk Shake
In Massachusetts and much of New England, it is called a Frappe
In Rhode Island it is called a Cabinet

When you encounter a problem, if the solution isn't readily evident go back to the start and check your assumptions.

We had 80 odd people at the show in September so a whole pig could well be worth it. I've just got to convince a couple of people that barbecue is more than just burgers and sausages. This is definitely only the beginning, especially now there's so much less effort involved in getting a good result.Glad to hear the new smoker is working well for you so far. Must be a pretty smoker if you can get a whole hog in there. I could maybe fit a half one in mine, but it would have to be chopped up first. 🙂
Sean, did you get to see the pictures of my friend's large smoker? It was a few weeks ago just after the thread disappeared.
I did. It was pretty impressive but way too big for my needs about 99% of the time. My wife and my youngest don't like smoked meat. Myself and my oldest though are regulars. I smoke something at least once a week.

Yeah, it's too big for me as well. But not for him. He uses it so much that he built a second one. He's already made a business out of it, gotten his kitchen (not the normal kitchen, but the new one) certified as a commercial kitchen and is selling to others. It'll give him something to do when he retires and he'll make good money at it. As you'd imagine, there's not much in the way of real barbeque up here in Michigan, so he cleans up. He could charge whatever he wants, but he still prices it reasonably.

Hi!It's been a very long time since I last posted on THE thread...
Actually it's been a very long time since I posted regularly on the forums, but now I want to start again.
I've been very busy during the last two years and something had to go.
Now that I'm back, I'm glad to see that the same good people are still the soul of this community.
However, I'm a bit scared of the quality of the questions, which seem to have turned even worse (to go back to the original topic of THE thread).
I'm even more scared about the extreme slowness of the site. It's nearly unusable as it is.
Is it just me or does it load slowly for everyone?
Benvenuto e bentornato, Giancarlo.
The slowness is indeed awful at times; and it isn't consistent, it varies a lot.

Well, according the land area shown on this page you could fit Italy in the US 31 times, so that gives you an idea of why different regions in the US have different terms and cultures in some cases. Talk about being complicated.

The regional food can be great though. The war between NYC area and Chicago area over pizza, for one. There's a type of breakfast ham that is only found in northern NJ called Taylor Ham. They put green chilies on everything in New Mexico. There's different kinds of BBQ including North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee , etc..

Well, it's not just a matter of size.
Italy has more languages and dialects than you would expect.
Wikipedia has a page on the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Italy
Italy hasn't even been a country until the end of the 19th century. Until that time it was a moltitude of states, each with its language and traditions.

And I thought we had a language problem in Belgium.
