The thread started out with some reference to Mike and Debbie Davis bbq sauce,how to get it overseas.
Folks may not realize how few sauce makers/bottlers there really are,and you can get one with your mother's picture on it,and your name.
Papa,since you have had struggles to get product to you in Germany,here is a tip.
Have a friend ,stateside,get a bottle of lottabull,and a bottle of Cookshack MILD and do a blind taste test with a few friends.
When they can't tell the difference,you know you can get CS shipped to you.
As far as making your own,it is usually less expensive to let the company make it and ship to you.
Might even try the same taste test,on beef and all purpose rub.
Just a thought.
