South Carolina Hash

[Pappymn]

Watching Andrew Zimmer doing a BBQ trail. Several places had South Carolina Hash, and it is not what I think of when I think of Hash.

Any love here for it?

Going to have to google that up. Sounds interesting

OH YEAH!!!!!

Whenever I am in the Midlands of SC ( around Lexington, or Columbia ) it is a common menu item at BBQ shacks - and I alway have to get some. Maurice's BBQ is a small chain in that area that really does a good job with it.

Like it a lot.

I have tasted it once.  Not too bad at all.  I've heard some "strange" stories about how it is made.  Apparently "old school SC hash" might not get past the FDA.  I heard these stories after I tasted it.

Many years ago, I was at a local BBQ joint in Johnston, Georgia.  It was one of those places that you ordered and picked up your food at a counter, and sat on community tables.  All food came with part of a loaf of sliced white bread.  They made their hash outside in a large black cast iron pot not unlike a kettle for "witches brew".  They had a wood fire to cook it slowly and used a wooden paddle to stir it up.  Inside they served it over rice.  Had a lot of stuff in it but it was sure good; brings back memories.

A nearby town to us has a "Burgoo" festival in the summer. Burgoo was traditionally a frontier-style stew consisting of meat (originally game) and various vegetables.  It is slow cooked in cauldrons over a wood fire. This cooking takes 24 - 36 hours and is stirred with canoe paddle look alikes. But what I will add is many years ago a girlfriends mom , who was on the commitee for the BurgooFest voluteered our services to stir the stew overnight. We saw road kill be tossed into the vat! The locals didn't used to partake of this.....wisely.

Just looked at a recipe and I don't think it's for me.  Sort of like I used to eat Scrapple, but I just can't do it now.

Jim'n Nick's, Bar-B-Que in Bluffton, SC on Fording Island Road has some terrific Hash to go with it's excellent Que.
I asked what was in it and was told "what do you care as long as it taste good" with a smile.

I can tell you this...I have watched the making of 'hash...And - if you are sensitive on the subject of organ meats...don't eat it. Liver, tongue, ....and few parts in descending order  on the scale of " foods least likely to be consumed in a country with a 1st World economy" are in a good hash.

Hash is exactly what Andrew Zimmer would salivate over. Yeah...I love it too. But - full disclosure - I will eat almost anything. I said ALMOST......

The pleasant lovely elderly lady did say it was everything not at the Walmart meat counter.

I've had the honor of judging hash competitions in South Carolina and enjoyed them immensely.  Like some others who have posted here I had to ditch my preconception based on what I call "hash" (breakfast side made with diced corned beef, potatoes and onions) and embrace a new form using the same label. 

The samples I got to judge were all very savory and meaty but the similarities ended there.  Spicing can go in several directions.  Consistency (mouth feel) of the results can differ, too.  Since this is a non-standard entry, there are no parameters set for judging it and we judged it simply by what we liked best (not a valid test in the four standard meat category competition).  My highest scores went to the entries that were on the thicker side, texture wise and had a lot of flavor depth (not just one overriding thing in the flavor profile).  Good stuff!  I hope to get to judge it again soon.
