Pa...where the Constitution is simply ignored

[ITCHFORINK]

Here's just a sampling of one of my more favorite statutes in the Pennsylvania Code. Curious, can you imagine any sort of picnic/barbecue at your home being invaded by what, the barbecue police? Is that where pulled pork REALLY originated? By a group attempting to determine whether a crime occurred by barbecue? I've tasted a lot of cooking that is criminal, but this statute is unconstitutional on so many levels, yet it stays on the books...watch out...

§ 1.381. Barbecued meats.



Barbecued meats, such as product labeled “Beef Barbecue” or “Barbecued Pork,” shall be cooked by the direct action of dry heat resulting from the burning of hard wood or the hot coals therefrom for a sufficient period to assume the usual characteristics of a barbecued article, which include the formation of a brown crust on the surface and the rendering of surface fat. The product may be basted with a sauce during the cooking process. The weight of barbecued meat shall not exceed 70% of the weight of the fresh uncooked meat.
