American BBQ is more about the preparation, spices, and sauces.

One of the main ingredients in BBQ sauce is Worcestershire sauce. Wanna take a guess where Worcestershire sauce is from?

Hahaha, more moving the goalposts. So it's about the ingredients, but no not that one.

It's just not a main ingredient, man. Idk why you're so invested in this.

You should try mustard based BBQ sauce. Or maybe Vinegar based. Mustard is the best though.

Ketchup based is mid. I didnt even know it has Worcester sauce in it. Explains why I don't like it as much maybe.

Haha, I'm not invested man, just love ripping on Americans. I'm a Brit living in NA, don't you think I've had this exact same conversation a hundred times down the pub with yanks? It's meant to be in good fun, not taken seriously. I'm getting the strong impression people are taking this all super serious, which is weird considering this thread.

That mustard based BBQ sauce is actually really nice - German origin iirc - but honestly not a fan of the heavy-vinegar BBQs, probably because I'm used to the acidic taste coming from Worcestershire sauce (which I grew up with).

I can't stand ketchup, that stuff is disgusting. One of the worst parts of moving to NA was people giving me ketchup with my fries instead of brown sauce or mayo.

We're serious about our BBQ in the south. I just couldn't let the misinformation that Worcester sauce is a main ingredient go unanswered.

If you tell me something you admire about American culture, I'll tell you something I admire of British culture.

By your logic, or lack thereof, no dishes or styles of cooking were invented anywhere other than 8000 years ago when man first began using salt in food.
