Burnt Ends anyone?

My husband and I hardly ever eat meat, however, may be willing to try the burnt ends I've seen that you just heat and serve.

Pork or beef? Any preference? Are they super good to you?

Any special sides to go with them....thinking of trying and I knew this was the place to come for answers.

My DH loves them, I like them as well but they are in a sweet sauce so I don't eat more than 1 or 2 pieces, he prefers pork.

Charred or burned meat is not healthy to eat. It contains carcinogens which are the product of cooking meat to the point of burning it which causes carcinogenic nitrates to form.

@SilleeMee Thank you for that reminder. I care, however, my DH does not. He consumes a lot of bacon and prefers it very crisp....gasp!

@kindred cats

I know, I love a good crispy charred pork rib with bbq sauce. I stopped eating charred meats years ago when I heard about the nitrates. But before that I ate charred meats all of the time...yikes.

@SilleeMee Same here! My first husband grilled steaks all the time and I loved them charred.

Gave him up and all the meat too.

We like burnt ends made from the brisket point.

They are also made with pork belly or chuck roast the poor man's burnt ends. They are about half fat so it's not something I want to eat all the time.

One of the BBQ restaurants here came out with them several years ago. Their recipe was really good. They have since changed their recipe so we no longer buy them.

If we want some DH makes them on the smoker. We like brisket but we always buy the flat. It has less fat.

@SilleeMee

We like our steaks a little charred. I don't want it burnt though.

I like them made with chunks of chuck roast.

I have a chuck roast in the freezer. I could tell DH to make some. He's making pizza tonight.

DH smoked a chuck roast to make poor man's brisket once. It was ok but not brisket.

This just makes me laugh! We are now willing to pay big bucks for a burnt, end piece of meat. Brisket used to be considered a cut of meat you used when your freezer was getting empty and you had to use it up. My, how times have changed.

Our local B-B-Que joint sells burnt ends. This is brisket prepared with a rub mix that is smoked for hours. The ends are cut away to expose the moist meat in the interior. The ends are sold as burnt ends. I do not like them. There is too much rub and bark.

@On It

DH makes our BBQ. I don't like all the bark either. The older I get the more my stomach doesn't like it.

Some BBQ places have Creosote buildup that causes it to taste bitter. Also numb effect to the tongue. I hate that.

I don't like the packaged ones I have tried.

Only a TV shopping channel would try to sell the burned meat that most people either throw out or feed to the dog.

I love a good smoked brisket so yes to naturally burnt ends. Packaged burnt ends usually have some ingredients that I try to avoid.

@brandiwine That wasn't the case where I grew up! It is treasured meat for those that know how to run a real barbeque pit, and people who love a roast cooked low and slow even in the oven.

Brisket is much loved out in the Texas, Oklahoma area! That is what we think of and mean when we say "barbeque". Pork bbq is something if you can't get brisket.

I don't eat burnt ends because my palate can't handle anything charred or bitter, but a very good BBQ restaurant in our area offers them as a Friday special and they're sold out within the first hour every single week. With the high demand and long lines, most people who don't want the burnt ends don't show up to the place until 1:00 or so on Fridays just to avoid the craziness.
