Memorial Day Cookout

In honor of Memorial Day, I am having a cookout at my house. And in honor of the cookout, I found some kinda' Limited Ed., definitely hand-made items for cookouts. First of all, I want to settle a little matter of semantics here. Limited Ed. is having a cookout. Meaning things will be cooked outside on a grill. It is not a barbecue, which some people refer to cookouts as, which is actually when you cook a pig for a long time over a low flame 'til all the meat is nice and tender, then you pull the meat and dress it with some type of sauce. Being from North Cackalacky, I prefer the Eastern, vinegar-based barbecue sauce. We will not be having pulled pork, however. Lastly, neither a cookout nor a barbecue should be confused with a picnic. A picnic is when you bring an already prepared meal out somewhere and eat it. No cooking is involved. Sex will probably occur afterwords. That is not the case with a cookout or barbecue. Anyway, enough with semantics, on to the meat. And do I have some nice meat for ya'. If you are going to be grilling some brats, the place to go for 'ems gots to be Wisconsin. And you will find some of the best brats in Wisconsin at the Sheboygan Bratwurst Co. Make mine the sampler pack:



And to go along with da brats, ya' gotta' have some good mustard. Some Black Truffle Mustard would go real nice with them brats.



And at only $65 an ounce, it's a bargain. Now go out and get sunburnt and mosquito-bit like yer sposeda on Memorial Day and eat too much and drink too much beer so ya' feel nice and crappy for work tomorrow in honor of all those who died defending our country. Amen.
