I thought this was weird for February. Got there, didn't see the grill on.<br /><br />"No, she's making barbecue"<br />"You mean Sloppy Joes?"<br />"No, barbeque."<br /><br />Fast-forward to a different girl (now wife) from Milwaukee who was making "pookadoos" (her younger brother couldn't pronounce "barbecue"). Now they're just "pookadoos".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781291809260443587.post-15269532952184037922022-10-12T10:54:37.776-07:002022-10-12T10:54:37.776-07:00Yep, I, too, am a Wisconsin lifer!

Anything with that much, or any ketchup is hot vomit on a plate, on a bun, whatever... It's just a waste of meat. It reeks, it can stink a home up for days. And to EVERYONE ESPECIALLY IN WISCONSIN, read this CAREFULLY... BARBECUE IS A COOKING METHOD THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE HAMBURGER NOR KETCHUP, IN ANY MANNER EVER. It does also not involve a crock pot, and REQUIRES slow cooking meats over a fire, not floating hamburger or pork you're turning into a trashy smelly mixture from the puts of hell in ketchup, barbecue sauce, mustard or anything else in a crock pot you vile jack wagons!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781291809260443587.post-21378449492495504092020-12-14T01:49:08.766-08:002020-12-14T01:49:08.766-08:00I grew up calling them barbecues!

They are called sloppy joe's and nothing else. BBQ IS A METHOD OF COOKING! I invloves slow cooking meat over coals in contrast to grilling which is fast high heat over coals. Browning hamburger in a pan and adding sauce(and its not even BBQ sauce!) and seasoning is neither of those!mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781291809260443587.post-71663178259720267372011-04-26T07:09:54.526-07:002011-04-26T07:09:54.526-07:00I'm not sure where Mr. Schwartz gets calling t...I'm not sure where Mr. Schwartz gets calling them BBQ's, growing up in our household they were always called Sloppy Joes.
