08/21/09 05:25 PM | WRONG-NOT AUTHENTICThis is not an Eastern North Carolina vinegar sauce. There is no tomatoe or mustard or sugar in a North Carolina vinegar sauce. Vinegar, the juice the meat was cooked in, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper-THAT IS ALL. I don't understand why every "North Carolina Vinegar Sauce" recipe that I see has tomato it.

02/18/09 09:58 AM | No tomato products in traditional NC BBQ sauceThis vinegar based sauce would probably represent a relatively 'modern' recipe from western North Carolina. Most Eastern NC bbq sauce will have NO tomato product at all. An 'original' vinegar based NC BBQ sauce dates back to when tomatos were thought to be poisonous. |
