However, every barbecue lover knows that there is nothing like original Texas BBQ sauce. This famous barbecue sauce has a sweet tomato flavor that is thick and delicious. It also contains special seasonings and dry rub mixtures that are added to meat before it is barbecued.

Now if you get a southeast barbecue sauce like that found in Georgia, it is slightly different from Texas BBQ. The sauce is thinner and has more of a vinegar taste. The meat that is used is more commonly pork instead of beef. You also see a lot of barbecues being done in “barbecue pits” or enclosures so that heat and smoke can help cook meat.

Everyone that barbecues comes up with their own technique, their own “secret formula” and their own favorite barbecue sauce. You may discover your own. Whether you prefer a Midwest or southeast BBQ flavor or even a combination of different ones, you will have fun discovering your own taste and fun and socialization you get from having a barbecue. So next time you are at a barbecue or hosting one of your own, spark some conversation by asking people if they know difference between barbecue and grilling or Texas BBQ sauce and Georgia sauce.
