Subject: Re: barbecue and pig-pickin's



Dennis Preston brings up the term "barbecue" in a discussion of

"loose meat" and "maidrite" sandwiches.

Is the term "pig pickin'" used outside North Carolina for a

barbecue, in the sense of a social event featuring a barbecue meal?

I've heard it in Milledgeville, GA, but I am not sure of where the people

who used it came from.
