Here's a strange rub, slightly adapted from one in the Diners Drive-ins and Dives episode about Kansas City Barbecue.
The use of turmeric, ground cardamom and cloves sets it apart from any rub I've seen before. I've made a small batch to test out on some ribs the next time I smoke them.
Ingredients
2 parts garlic salt
1 part turmeric
1 part ground cardamom seed
1 part ground cloves
1 part cayenne pepper
1 part lemon pepper
Method
Combine all ingredients and store in a jar/shaker for use as a barbecue rub.
I was watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives episode on Kansas City BBQ and I saw this rub that includes ground celery seeds. I like the flavour of celery seeds in my Memphis Coleslaw recipe, so I thought I'd make a batch of rub to see what it tastes like.
Authentic Buffalo wings, as invented in Buffalo, New York State, are deep fried chicken wings that are coated in a sauce made of melted butter, vinegar, hot sauce and cayenne pepper. My version cooks the chicken low and slow on the barbecue to give a smoky accent to the flavours.
So here we go for a round up of Day 7 of the road trip.
We pottered around in the hotel for a few hours before heading over for a tour of the Houston Space Center. If you ever travel to Houston you really need to see this. On first entry I was a bit worried - it looked like a kids interactive exhibit, but it's the tour of Mission Control and various other Space Center buildings that makes it worth visiting. In particular, the Saturn 5 rocket in one of the hangars is breathtakingly enormous.
Today was the day when we finally did some driving - 350 or so miles from New Orleans to Houston. It was a loooooong drive that ended with a good meal at a cheap Taqueria.
I saw an ad for the New Orleans RoadFood Festival and decided to head over there in the lunch break from the conference I am attending, in order to film some of the stalls and sample the food.
