Real American BBQ sauce

I just moved to a small village north of Munich (Ilmendorf to be exact - it's near Geisenfeld and Ingolstadt). Unfortunately the grocers that are most convenient to our apartment are discounters. I can normally make do with what is available or make a special trip to mini mal for the other things. However, I have yet to find anything that even closely resembles American BBQ suace. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Crosslink by admin: British and American foods

You can get Hunt's, HP BBQ and Roadhouse around town here in Munich. Try Minimal and look for a North American section (I know the big one at Arabellapark has one). Or Kaufhof, and/or Hertie, and/or Walmart. We have gotten various bottles at different places around town.

You can also order online from the British American Food Shop.

Failing that there are tons of recipes online about how to make your own (if you are using it to baste and then cook meat rather than dip things in).

Not sure about the small village...seems to me like you will need to make a trip to a bigger city.

Ketchup, vinegar, sugar, salt, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

Enjoy.

WalMart has a BBQ section now!! Lots of stuff although I don't know exactly what's in it.

There is an Esso petrol station on Westendstrasse (right by the U-bahn) that had some Jack Daniels BBQ sauces and maybe a few other American ones. They were quite expensive though, over €5 a bottle.

My favorite is Scott's Barbecue Sauce which is made in North Carolina.

That helps.

Yeah Biff, Scott's is great, you can get it in most gas stations here.

I might sell you some that I make myself or come down for the Independence celebration on the 3rd of July and I may be selling it there.

Thanks for the tips, guys. I found my way to the Wal Mart in Freising (kind of small, but it'll do) I stocked up on Hunt's Honey BBQ. However, as I am a true BBQ lover (we cook baby back ribs and BBQ sandwiches almost weekly), keep the suggestions rolling in case there's some wonderful, undiscovered secret sauce out there.

You can get Scott's barbecue sauce online, you might have to pay a tariff for it though.

I know this is a bit off topic, since it's not available here, but has anyone ever heard of Riscky's BBQ sauce? My husband bought it while we were visiting family in Dallas, and he really loves it.

BBQ Sauce

I highly recommend it for people living overseas that may not find American BBQ sauces readily available. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

3/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Heinz chili sauce
1/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup molasses
1 teaspoon MILD Dijon mustard (can use regular
mustard if you don't have any around)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke**
1/4 teaspoon plus a good pinch of paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

**If you don't want a super-strong smoke flavor, this ingredient can be reduced by 1/2 teaspoon. I'm going to try 2 teaspoon next time just to see what happens. No matter what, use at least 2 teaspoons.

Mix ingredients in saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 20 minutes or until sauce thickens.

Jesus, you Americans are serious into your BBQ's huh? Where do you get the babies from? Do their parents mind? Maybe you have a baby farm/tree?

This is a very famous joint in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. All of you Alabama folks will know of this place. I live in Panama City Beach, FL now and it cost $9.99 per quart here. www.panamacitybeachonline.com

I sure miss Munich!!

1 (28 ounce) can tomato purée
1/3 cup yellow mustard
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
1/4 cup dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Whisk together tomato puree and mustard until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to boil.

Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve this sauce warm.

The first recipe is about as northern as you can get. I am tasting it now and it is too damn sweet.
The second one may be quite nice for those that don't know BBQ and the various BBQ sauces. I have to wash my mental palate out, but I am thinking it is doable for the majority of folks here who thing BBQ is grilling. Not bad actually, although I would add substitute V8 or "gemusesaft" for the tomato and boil it down. You can substitute Überrube for molasses, but you will need something malty then. Perhaps a bit of Karmalz.
Still, both recipes are good for the novice and thanks. I know that I am stingy with my BBQ recipes, but I have to be because someday, I may want to sell them and I just can't recommend anything less anymore. For those that actually know what BBQ is, PM me and I will give you the recipe for real Tennessee BBQ sandwich sauce. Easy to make and all the ingredients can be found here at any local markt.

PS: It is the vinegar based sauce. You that knows will know what I mean.

Umm... this Real American BBQ sauce...

...is it made from Real Americans?

MMM - My favourite!

@Sin, you can't handle real American BBQ sauce. Your weak vindaloo palate doesn't know the meaning of BBQ sauce. You need our sauce, you want our sauce and you just can't admit it in your little cocktail parties.

Where do you get items like this in Munich? I cannot find packed brown sugar (proper sugar that does not taste entirely like molasses)...haven't seen molasses...or proper mustard (other than the French's I can buy in North American sections).

What is liquid smoke?

The problem with some of the recipes on here is the lack of availability of ingredients. Or if you can find them...the high cost of purchasing

At least I know I can find this here:
Germany is definitely not lacking in the paprika department

It was the "little cocktail parties" bit that made me larf hardest. Thanks eurovol - Classic
