Last year Costco started selling Sweet Baby Ray's at what looked to me like a special purchase closeout price. It came to about $2.50 for a large bottle. So, of course, I had to buy several, figuring at worst I'd give them away. I generally make my own sauce so it took me a while to try the SBR.
For those of you who are familiar with SBR, is it just me or just this batch or is there a distinct taste of library paste to this sauce? I'm not by any means suggesting my homemade sauce is spectacular, but I thought this SBR tasted truly horrible. How could this stuff ever have become a national brand?
Last summer I smoked ribs for the whole family and made my own sauce. Just for the heck of it I also put out a bottle of SBR. (This was before I'd tried it.) I was kind of insulted when one family member ignored the homemade and went for SBR. Now that I've actually tasted the stuff, I'm well and truly insulted he would have preferred that cr..., er, junk, to mine.
