Subject: barbecue vs. sloppy joe



The barbecue sandwiches that I am now priviged to eat here in the Deep

South, shredded pork or beef covered with sauce, are a real treat and

a far cry from the ground-hamburger-in-tomato-sauce sloppy joe sandwiches

that they would stick in my throat as kid growing up in Chicago. I do

recall, vaguely, sloppy joe referred to as barbecue, but, in my memory

at least, sloppy joe was the preferred term then (50's & 60's).
