I have been pondering this... what is this... issue? conundrum? Enigma? Whatever it is... I am, shall we say, confused. Here is the scenario...
Several weeks ago a nice company sent me several samples of rub and I have used them for various things. I like the ones I have tried and they don't seem to be all salt or paprika as some of them are. I put one of them on some pork chops and it was quite tasty. I had 2 of them, so I told the wife that I might order some of that since it was good and I only had one more sample.
A couple of weeks later I was doing 3 or 4 butts for my step-sons Birthday party, no food porn on this one, and made my own rub as usual. With this exception-- I had gotten a new cookbook from a Q champion and wanted to give his rub a go. I also thought about using Chris Lilly's injection baste, but didn't because it seemed too salty. Anyone ever use something like that? But I digress... When I made the Champin' style rub I thought... I have smelled this wonderful aroma before. And... you know... this orange red rub looks sort of familiar too. Wow... it tastes a lot like.... damn it looks the same too... wow... I think I found a match between the sample and the recipe!! Can this be?
So here is my question... Would someone lift a recipe from a book and then sell it as their own? Seems un-cool too me. What y'all think about that?
