Missouri

[RamFan503]

Alright. We had a write up in Fodor's Travel Guide calling us "the most amazing barbecue this side of Missouri". So that not only gave me an excuse for a blatant plug :sly: but started a small debate around here.

Is it "Missour-ee" or "Missour-uh"? Many of you guys are from around there. I've never been there. And my wife simply doesn't remember. Settle this - will yuh?

Some people here say "Missourah", which can lead to a lot of misunderstandings. The name is, has always been, and will always be, Missouri (with the "ee" sound). There is nothing to suggest a potential "uh" sound in the word.

A lot of old timers say "uh", I think the folks under the age of 50 most all of them say "ee". I'm a pretty country kinda fella, so i talk with a small amount of "twang" and i may say words that a lot of folks may not, but like i said, "uh" is an old timer kinda word

I group in St. Louis and the only one's I knew who called in Missour-uh were people from rural Missouri and people over the age of 80 (like my grandfather). Everyone else called in Missour-ee

Congrats on the write up.

I've been eyeballing your sauces and am going to be ordering some of that and some rub in the next few days.

Ouch! and the Thai Chile sound good so I'm gonna be getting those and a couple of other things.

That Smokin' Wasabi sauce is the bomb. I put that on everything. Even my cereal.

Missouri-ee

Just like highway farty.

A lot of how it's pronounced depends on which part of the state you come from.
The majority call it ee but the Northwestern part of the state was home to the Missouria Indians and the uh is mostly used by those from their or influenced by them.

<a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouria" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missouria</a>

I pronounce it ee a lot of the state wide elected officials use uh, I guess because the uh's are more adamant than the ee's .
But yeah there's a lot of hardwood in MO and hickory smokin is an art form .

Good job on the write up Stu,I can tell the peeps I nose ya

Yeah I have been checking those out myself... but the shipping to RI from Oregon will be more than the rubs !!!

Generally dont use too many sauces. Usually take the dripping from the water pan in the smoker, add Molasses, wochestshire sauce and reduce it down, corn starch to thicken it up and BAM a sauce to compliment the rub

I was eyeballing that one too because I love the flavor (and the heat) of wasabi, and when its cooked and the heat comes out you just have the tangy taste, it's a very unique flavor. I've made a wasabi and soy marinade with sesame oil for salmon and some other fish that is delicious.....the combo of flavors is perfect.

If you like this kinda stuff check out Uncle Brothers. Out of DC. My brother found them, very small maker, and I used to have him send me bottles all the time. Worthwhile.

Actually - we generally use Priority Mail so it costs the same no matter where within the US.

Not many people realize that. So many are afraid of it because they think it will be too hot. It's really not - just really full flavored.

Anyway, thanks guys. I'll relay this to my inlaws who are in town for may son's graduation. I kinda thought that Missourah was kind of something the older generation says for the most part. I hear politicians say it that way but from my experience, most politicians are full of shit and are using it as to make them look folkish.

Guess I'll just keep saying Missouree. That'll keep me in the young hip crowd. :sly:

I know.....it's because people don't cook with it, or cook much in general. Wasabi without the heat is a totally different thing and nothing interferes with the flavor. As you know of course. It's just got a great big tangy flavor, very unique and it's like nothing else.

Ive wondered what it would be like to crust a salmon filet with a layer of wasabi and then cook it.

Done it a few times. You have to be careful. If you cut it with actual mustard seed or sesame seed, it works pretty well. Too much wasabi and it becomes bitter. I prefer to make a sauce out of it and just baste it a couple times.

Not sure about across the pond. I can check it out. I know Canada had some weird import policy a couple years ago when I looked into it. It ended up where it would have cost roughly triple to just send it up north 300 or so miles.

Yeah, you know you want your bottles to end up in Scotland.
Make it happen, Cap'n.
