BBQ Sauce
BBQ sauce here is a tomato based sauce built on ketchup, brown sugar, and vinegar, simmered until it thickens into a sweet, sharp glaze for grilled meat.
Where it comes from
Tomato based sauce is only one regional style among many across the American South, where mustard based, vinegar only, and mayonnaise based sauces developed separately depending on the local hog cooking tradition.
What cooks argue about
The regional fight is bigger than any single recipe: ketchup sweet sauce dominates outside the South, but cooks in different states argue vinegar, mustard, or mayonnaise bases suit pork better than a sugary tomato glaze.
