Man Does Not Live by BBQ Alone!

I know Fairfax County is full of carpet baggers and yankees, but I'll take a shot.

What's your favorite Virginia food, when do you eat it and will you share recipe?

Nor do women!

Virginia food? You mean like the drunken rib-eye at Sweetwater Tavern?

My favorite VA dishes are ceviche, Bun cha, and Solyanka.


BBQ is for rednecks and cousin fuckers

Latin American, Vietnamese and Russian dishes?

Sorry, not quite what I had in mind. My intent starting this topic was to elevate the level of discourse on FU, so I won't point out that your selection makes you sound like a carpetbagger. But if the shoe fits...

Is there anything you've found in Virginia that you like?

What was left after we drove the rubes and rednecks out.

+1

There is a lot I like in Northern Virginia. The diverse food options, educated populace, low crime, good schools, and on and on.

Calling that cut of meat they serve a rib-eye just ain't right.

Southern Kitchen New Market...Fine Southern cooking

I don't think you know what a rube is. It's you!

You carpetbaggers just don't get the point. YOU'RE NOT VIRGINIANS. And neither is Northern Virginia.

Maybe you don't get that we really don't care whether you consider us real Virginians or not. If it wasn't for NoVa you'd be nothing more than Mississippi with a military base and people would look to Raleigh, Charlotte and Atlanta for jobs. You can thank a bunch of Yankees-the Rockefellers and their foundation for funding most of the restoration of colonial Williamsburg and your ivy league wannabe UVA has copied all the preppy new england sports-lacrosse, crew, squash, polo. It was Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal that essentially gave the south the opportunity to develop a middle class. Go back to sitting on your porch rotting your teeth sipping sweet tea and whistling dixie.

You're failing miserably.

Lacrosse is a Native American sport that many universities 'copied'. 'Non-Ivy' NYU and Manhatten College were the first teams to play intercollegiate.

Crew or rowing competitions go back to London in the 18th century.
Squash, invented at Harrow School, again in London.
Polo, invented by Ralph Lauren in London ... kidding! 6th century Persia.

Reconstruction Era was well before the New Deal and was run through the Lincoln and Johnson administrations. New Deal helped the entire country.

I doubt you're an 'Ivy Leaguer'. Either way, you just got schooled by an art school fine arts major that is well beyond 'Yankee' and 'Dixie' bullshit.

Brunswick Stew is native to Virginia, although some people argue about that. Never had the original kind with squirrel and rabbit meat but it's damn good with chicken, pork, and beef.

Actually, pretty much on point. Everything that anyone would recognize as modern Northern Virginia was built by these "carpetbaggers" of yours. There wasn't an actual economy here or an actual culture until the Northerners came and brought these things to you.

Nope, still failing.

Again, I don't identify as 'Dixie', 'Southern', 'Yankee', or 'Carpetbagger'.
It's 20fucking16.
The majority of Americans don't have history or roots that are so absolute.

You're making a pointless and more importantly stupid statement.
The nation's capital was established before the Civil War. Even without the war, Northern Virginia would've been fine.
The 'Northerners' and Northern Virginians came from the same fucking countries in Europe. Nobody came from the North to 'culture' Jefferson, Washington, etc. They all were still following European traditions/culture.

So stop being so fucking stupid, 'Ivy Leaguer'

I would argue the reverse. I think Americans today are more likely than a generation ago to identify themselves based on their roots. For some these roots are personal, like the guy who considers himself a New Yorker even though he hasn't lived in New York for 40 years. For others the roots are ancestral or ethnic.

Ham............

What a douchebag. Here was the point...

"Everything that anyone would recognize as modern Northern Virginia
was built by these "carpetbaggers" of yours. There wasn't an actual
economy here or an actual culture until the Northerners came and
brought these things to you."

> So stop being so fucking stupid, 'Ivy Leaguer'

Open a book some day, bumpkin.

Ludwid says: Ham...

Well, of course. Virginia Ham. But how do you prepare it? What do you serve with it?

lets restore some sanity here.

Everyone stay home tomorrow and fake teleworking.

Have a big neighborhood BBQ instead. Cook some Virginia ham and get in touch with authentic Southern culture.

Get a Boar's Head SweetSlice ham. Using a sharp knife, score the skin side to a depth of a quarter inch in a 3/4-inch diamond pattern. Make your own, or slather it generously with Boar's Head ham glaze. Add half a cup of water to the pan. Tent the pan with aluminum foil and place in 325-degree oven for 15 minutes per pound. With 15 minutes left to go, remove the tent and raise oven temperature to 425 degrees.

Serve it with a nice mustard sauce. Melt 2 tbsp of butter and whisk in one egg yolk. Add 3 tbsps of mayonnaise, then 1 tbsp each of spicy brown mustard, white vinegar, and sweet and sour salad dressing (e.g., Maple Grove Farms.) Mix well and chill for 30 minutes. Add more mustard to taste if needed.

Actually you're not arguing the reverse. It's an absolute that the person is from New York and spent their formative years there. They're a New Yorker.

I'm stating that its been 250 years since the Confederates lost the Civil War. The same New Yorker very possibly could have had parents that were from Alabama and Georgia. People have been emigrating and migrating quite a bit in those 250 years. It's stupid to use the antiqued phases I mentioned that have no relevance to today.

LOL! 'Bumpkin' is the best you could do? You're so lost and out of touch you can't even come up with modern pejorative.
Dude, my dad's family was still in Europe during the Civil War.

I open lots of books. I know for a fact that modern Northern Virginia was 'built' by DC being the capital of the entire nation. A nation that includes 14 states that weren't around at the time "carpetbaggers" was in fashion.

So fuck off with the pointless 'carpetbagger' bullshit.

Now that's just golldarned stupid! Must have been "schooled" in some cotton field down south.

The term "douchebag" appeared also and was entirely applicable. I'll just add "asshole" this time, as in fuck off, you ignorant asshole. Everything that defines fucking MODERN NoVa was brought and put here by the people that numbnuts yahoo dipshits like to call "carpetbaggers." Without these inflows of educated northerners, this place would still be just another patchwork of dusty hovels and inbred sleepy hollers.

> Dude, my dad's family was still in Europe during the Civil War.

When were they kicked out?

Carpetbaggers are the scourge. The Socialist/Democrats royally screwed things up in the Northern states.

So the smart ones come to Virginia, a Conservative state. However, they want to bring the Democrat bullshit that ruined the Northern states to begin with.

In 2016, Virginia will not vote Democrat. We're not Communist like Bernie, and we're not shit-faced liars like Hillary.

FDR was a cousin fucker, by the way.

We might not have Old South BBQ, but we have carpetbaggers in abundance.

If NoVA isn't Virginia, why the hell are you on *Fairfax* Underground?

>If NoVA isn't Virginia, why the hell are you on *Fairfax* Underground

Northern Virginia is taken occupied by federalist carpetbaggers.

No chain fucker here.

Best thing that ever happened to the place. Went from being a dusty hillbilly backwater to being a leading national and international center of economic activity and progress.

So you've tried all the other places east of the Mississippi? How much do you weigh?

I'm a Virginian and proud of the fact. Travelled the world and enjoyed the food of many countries and regions.
All I know about NoVa now is a lot of desperate people moved here to seek employment because they couldn't make it elsewhere.
There's plenty of fine Virginia cuisine if you know anything about the Tidewater area. But we wouldn't want the carpetbaggers fucking this up either.

Baked ham? Boiled peanuts? What a culinary conquest! Even shoofly pie was stolen from a bunch of northerners.

It's the very best. Beats the slop sold around here. Ralphs BBQ near Roanoke Rapids is great if you like Eastern NC BBQ

On a whim, I decided to try Famous Dave's. What a waste of money. Why do they need to put jalepeno in everything? Baked beans were about the only thing that was OK, but a little sweet. I liked the sausage but the ribs and brisket sucked. No meat on the ribs at all and they leave the membrane on. The worst of it is their mac and cheese. It' elbow maccaroni in Velveta with fucking corn in it. Who puts corn in their mac and cheese.

Surprised that their places stay in business.

I guess everybody does. But really, you can do at least as well by buying tubs of pork, beef, or chicken at the grocery store and then augmenting with your own sauce ideas. Just as good and a lot cheaper.

Famous Daves is delicious, the brisket is what I always order. Nice atmosphere too. My only compliant is the side portions are too small. Their homemade chips are really good. I never tried the Mac and cheese because it says spicy and I don't like spicy.
