Vintage Book of the Day - LBJ Barbecue Cook Book by Walter Jetton


For some great info on the Johnson Barbecues, check out Barbecue Diplomacy.












And of course these last two make the strange recipe list. I would definitely be one of the people turning these recipes down if Walter offered them. The thought of Beef Heart makes me ill.  And don't get me started on the Calf Fries. Would someone please let me know when eating animal private parts became a good idea? According to epicurious, there were recipes in Gourmet for them as far back as 1942.

    I remember my Mom cooking a beef heart ... It looked exactly what it sounds like, not a big fan of organ meat except liver pâte ... Think I ate hot dogs that night (which probably had beef heart and more!)
