bbq and chitlins
If there are any teachers out there, here is something fun to try: It only works if more than one third of your class is black. In the middle of a lecture, stop for a moment, look at the kids, and say the word “chitlins”. A riot will ensue. I stumbled upon this accidentally. Over the years I repeated this experiment 10-15 times. Same results every time. Half the class be lovin’ chitlins. Half the class be hatin’ chitlins. Even the quietest kids will share their opinions with mind-boggling enthusiasm. Be sure to try this towards the END OF CLASS.
One of the 3 dorks from ZZ Top recorded (fake?) radio ads for their favorite BBQ restaurant. I have a hard time believing these were actually used…
Queen Bee BBQ – Original Spot
Queen Been BBQ – Mexican Menu

I have to say dad is a picky bbq consumer. Hey I really love this site!

Soooo true! Black folks only have two opinions on pork: addicted or repulsed! I’ve never seen a chitlin in real life, but the thought scares me! But they are no less gross than foie gras! Take that, foodies!
