having been to Texas a few times now and having tried BBQ (which I learned is Texian for Brisket)at several different spots, i just dont get the the appeal... to me the meat is always far to sweet for my liking and what the hell is with all the beans at every meal??

I am much more fond of taking that brisket and making a corned beef and having it stacked a mile high on a fresh onion or on serious rye bread with mustard lathered on it with a side of speck,a good Kosher dill pickle, and a tall cold beer!

I like most things done on the grill but brisket isnt one of them ... maybe I just havent had it done right yet.

do they do it different in Hill Country( aka God's Country)? ... that is where I have sampled it the most.
