Hi EWI!
We had an interesting dinner at Daisy May's tonight. It was a whole hog dinner. The picture is my trophy hoof and leftovers! There were some great pics taken at the restaurant that I am sure will be sent out by members. It was fun tearing into a pig and ripping out your pieces! We all agree that although good, we have had better BBQ, but it was great fun as always!
The sides included "sweet potatoes" , coleslaw and baked beans. The sweet potatoes were whipped with banana, which I found to be downright offensive. The coleslaw was very mustardy and fine. The baked beans were also very mustard based and had a wide variety of legumes as opposed to the traditional Navy bean variety. Some thought this was fine, I am more of a purist and again found it off-putting. There was only one sauce and it was, again, mustard based. Everything was passable, except those atrocious "sweet potatoes", but as a woman who spend many a year in the south, this place was an overpriced atrocity. (perhaps that is too strong a condemnation, but BBQ is a bit of a religious thing for me! lol)
We enjoyed the experience, especially the final dismembering of the hog. I think we would all agree that we are glad to have done it, and not likely to do it again. That is all part of the adventure of culinary exploration in New York; the good, the bad and the ugly. As long as it is an EWI event, perfect company is guaranteed,a perfect meal is not!
