Yup. It's real.
Soylent.
The marketing phrase is "What if you never had to worry about food again?".

Coincidence?

Hell yeah!
Damn man, even the music is creepy!
I get the concern for food supply vs demand but come on, the human race has survived how long now?
Personally, all conspiracy stuff aside, as a passionate cook I find it a bit insulting to my intelligence
For them to try and sell me on this product being "superior" to REAL food.
Imagine this scenario-
"Man what a long and tiring work day. I'm starving! I sure could go for a tall glass of soylent..."
NO THANK YOU.
I'm sure some folks will go for it though!
Kinda scary where it might lead in the future...
That's creepy. But also fuckin far out...
I mean it's sorta cool in a feed the people, end world hunger kind of way.
When I drink my dinner I prefer it to come with cool inebriation side effects though 8)

Liquid food - pfff. The dude who invented this shit doesn't have even basic credentials to be an expert at this. A joke. I'll go with the beer girl. ;-)
I'd rather die from eating too many In-N-Out burgers, thankyouverymuch. :)

The only reason to use that much barbecue sauce is because someone didn't know how to cook ribs. I'd still eat 'em, of course, but my previous statement speaks for itself.
Oh, and the young lady doesn't need barbecue sauce either. 8)
Depends on the barbecue sauce. And what the girl tastes like. ;-)
It's a question of which of the holy barbeque cannons one holds as the gospel.
Some believe in the dry rub only rib gospel while others hold to the dry rub for the smoke, then slather (anoint if you will) for the last hour or so.
I'm not personally married to any particular barbeque gospels.
Good bbq is good bbq.
Ya, I'm barbeque-agnostic like you...

We have 2 great BBQ joints in the area here and people tend to take sides.
Not me. They both are great.

and
http://www.dinosaurbarbque.com/bbq-troy (http://www.dinosaurbarbque.com/bbq-troy)
If I had to pick I'd take Brooks but more out of familiarity than a real strong preference.
I grew up on it.
Dinosaur has a hipper atmosphere but both have some serious BBQ.

You're unsure whether or not BBQ exists?

Lol - well caught! My meaning was it doesn't matter between wet & dry barbecue.

As long as they're cooked properly, I prefer dry. Trying to get all of that sauce out of the beard and 'stache can be a real pain in the ass. ;D
So true! That's why I only use sauce sparingly. I like to taste the meat. The natural juices that flow when chewing lightly, licking...
What day is this?
My preference is dry rub on the ribs, sauce on the side, and beer within reach. I can't dig the vinegar style popular in the mid-south. More a fan of the smokey, sweet, spicy stuff...gawdamit, now I need some ribs.
For anyone who still cares about the Soylent thing here's a show about it from NPR.

This thread had me making some ribs on the charcoal grill this weekend.
Which if done properly can make some very righteous swine.
I went with the Stubb's rub and sauce.
It was good but I'd have to say that it's not my favorite sauce.
All time favorite is Brooks BBQ.

I'd have to say I like the sweet/sour sauces.
Ribs came out nice and I made a giant pile of em. So I'll be packing ribs for lunch a few days this week.

That can't be healthy.
That just can't be healthy.
And it says he pisses in the sink.
Well at least there wouldn't be any dishes in there if he's living on that Soylent goop.
