Irish People Try American BBQ

Monk: In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, here’s a video of Irish people trying ribs, brisket, and pulled pork along with a couple of other southern staples. Choice quote: “My mam’s Sunday roast tastes way better than that.”

Description: We decided to have our contributors try a selection of classic American BBQ foods. Though we do have BBQ’s here in Ireland they are very different to what you might get in America. Generally they include a lot more sausages and more rain.
