The White Bread is a Napkin


i am tired of ignorant people complaining on every goddamn post about the bread. they don’t understand the history or culture of barbecue and need educating. mods, can we get some some sort of auto-mod that replies “it’s a fucking napkin” when someone mentions bread? thank you!

    For the amount of money people pay for this, the “napkins” should be a better quality

    I thought it was for catching the juices that flow out of the unrested brisket I squeeze with my black gloves on. 🤷‍♂️

    History and culture can both taste like shit.

    I swear to god I that marshmallow looking, overgrown puffy coat, tire guy gives a star to anyone who serves store-bought bread, I am going to only buy Firestone, BF Goodrich, Toyo, Falken, or really any other tire brand.

    I’m not sure i have even opened a Michelin tire.

    But yeah, white bread is a napkin; you throw it in the trash.

    Is this for real? Like you don’t eat it? You wipe your mouth and hands after eating?

    As a Texan, who tf gives af about the bread they serve at a bbq 😂. They are absolutely not integral to bbq. Something even as trivial as pickles and onions are more important. To me they serve as bonus to make mini brisket sammiches.

    What people don’t understand is that BBQ places are not making a choice between white bread or another bread. It’s white bread or nothing, so be happy with it. You get white bread because it’s cheap and tradition. It’s not like they’re holding out on giving you rosemary sourdough

    You can also use the cheap white bread to dry your tears

    I’m planning my son’s first birthday in a few months. Originally I wanted to do an entire pig and my wife shot it down. So I told her we could do a regular bbq, and now I get to smoke meats for 3 days instead of 1. Win for me. I won with a deconstructed pig essentially.

    As we’re making the menu and grocery list I tell my wife we need a few loafs of white bread. She said “for what?” I told her to soak up juices or to eat with brisket or to sober up on. It doesn’t matter. We just need it.

    Next time we have the discussion I’m going to use the napkin line. She can’t argue that one.

    White bread is the official bread of KC BBQ. TRUTH

    Wrong napkin. In Texas the only choice is Mrs Baird’s.

    The white bread obviously goes very well with the roast and tastes great on its own!

    Hey, I believe you. I also believe that using white bread as a napkin is fucking dumb.

    This is how Arthur Bryant does it and has for decades.

    I thought it was to absorb excess moisture, either juices or steam to maintain the texture.

    I’m not going to yuck someone else’s yum or try to change behavior, but I think “napkin” is a great descriptor in that I also do not want to eat a napkin. It’s a custom, and acting like it started as anything other than trying to fill people up and stretch out a meal is a bit silly.

    Like what you like, but I just don’t care for cheap white bread whether you think it’s useful or not. The places that have or make nice bread? Fuck yeah.

    That is not true at all! Those would be the most expensive napkins on earth then bud. You use the bread to make a sandwich.
