Barbecue is a popular American food. It is
usually made by smoking meat over fire
and then adding a sauce as the meat
finishes cooking. However, barbecue sauces
come in many different styles. In North
Carolina, for example, people often prepare
barbecue sauce with vinegar and spices. In
South Carolina, many folks prepare what
they call Carolina Gold. The sauce gets its
they call caro
name and golden color from mustard, the
sauce's key ingredient. Texas-style barbecue sauce is a thick and spicy sauce that is
made with tomatoes. Finally, Kansas City, Missouri, has a famous barbecue sauce as
well. It is also made with tomatoes. Unlike Texas-based sauces, however, barbecue
sauces from Kansas City are usually sweet. The sweetness comes from using
molasses as a main ingredient.
