Talk:Pig pickin'

Errors
Hey, a few errors: 1. North Carolina isn't the only state that cooks Hush puppies - (SC, GA, AL all do) 2. North Carolina doesn't have a monopoly on BBQ, BBQ sauce, the methods of cooking BBQ, or BBQ-related get togethers.

This article was written in an extremely North Carolina-centric manner, with (some) erroneous information. 71.76.144.188 00:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Matt (sorry I don't understand formatting)
 * I have to agree there. The pig roast is also done in the Philippines (my dad's from there) and traditional Filipino parties in the USA. It certainly isn't solely an NC phenomenon. I'm adding the worldview tag because of that. ~ Crazytales  [talk]  11:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Pig roasts are done all over the US. Not just in North Carolina.

I respectfully disagree. Wile pig roasts may be common the world over, a pig pickin is a North Carolina tradition. It has cultural as well as culinary aspects that separate it from, for example, its Hawain counterpart.

It is not just a "North Carolina Tradition" I am afraid. It is most definitely a Carolina tradition (which includes South Carolina as well), but a pig pickin could arguably be defined as a southern tradition. Attempting to make some improvements to this article, most especially adding some more SOURCED information. Let's try to keep this as Neutral POV as possible. --Coldbourne 18:50, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Eastern South Carolina?
In paragraph 4 under "Cooking", I'm pretty sure the author meant "Eastern North Carolina" rather than "Eastern South Carolina". While South Carolina has a long and storied barbecue history, it is not as often defined as a distinction between Eastern and Western style, (although I'm sure there are significant differences and a good eating debate). A Google search for "Eastern South Carolina Barbecue" yields few relevant results compared to "South Carolina Barbecue" or "Eastern North Carolina Barbecue" which has a ton of stuff for both. Eastern North Carolina basting sauce is typically the vinegar pepper sauce attributed here to "Eastern South Carolina". I'm not getting into a regional debate, I think this is actually just an honest mistake by the author. Jcrabill (talk) 03:44, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Title and Redirect
What is the deal with the title of the page? "Pig Roast" redirects here. But it seems like "Pig Roast" (or hog, or boar) is a more appropriate title and "Pig Pickin'" is a colloquial term of limited geographical distribution. I think "Pig Roast" should be the page title, with "Pig Pickin'" redirecting to it, if "Pig Pickin'" ought to exist at all. 216.36.186.2 (talk) 13:07, 9 July 2008 (UTC) — Berean Hunter   (talk)  23:37, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sounds fine to me. -- Jayron  32  23:17, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 * (noticing the 2008 date on the post) This article is about the Southern institution known as a pig pickin. The only thing that does count here is the common name of that limited geographical distribution. Trying to change it would make as much sense as trying to change the name of the Luau article to "pig roast". They're simply not the same.
