ahh, the arguments you can get into about how to cook/spice/serve/garnish "X"

Imagine my surprise when I first moved to Wash DC from Kansas, and asked for a BBQ beefsandwich at a little diner..(not really expecting it to be 'excellent', but hoping)..and the guy plops a BIG scoop of coleslaw right on top of the meat!...arrrgghhhhh....(even the 'good' local BBQ and Mexican places just do NOT follow tradition...I asked at a Mexican restaurant why I could not get HOT sauce, only sauce with more ONION..(yuck)..and they told me they tried it, but the eastern taste buds were not adapted, and not enough people would eat it)...I am used to BBQ and Mexican food that cleans the pores!
