and is excellent. Usually, I have served the meat cut in slices along with sides. However, this time I am cooking for my daughter who has rented a lake house. She will have a companion with with her plus 6 kids, 4 of whom are her foster kids. So I decided to serve the sliced meat on Kaiser rolls (fill the kids tummies better) There will be a Mexican Rice, coleslaw and a bean dish made by me. Also, sliced tomatoes, pickled cukes. I plan on putting the Kaiser Rolls on the grill to toast a bit on the cut side. My question is, what do I put on the bread? Should I add a little more BBQ Sauce prior to layering the meat on top? Ketchup and mustard does not seem right...nor do I want to spend the time slathering the rolls with butter for 13 people. I thought if I put the remaining BBQ Sauce in a squeeze bottle, every one could add what they wanted. For myself, the meat, tomato and a layer of coleslaw makes my sandwich. Any thoughts?

Just a slight warning: I despised anything barbeque until I was an adult.
I didn't like the smell, I didn't like the wetness, I didn't like the slide-iness of the meat...I just didn't like it.
Now I love it...go figure.
Anyway, If I were a kid and barbeque was the only option, I would eat potato chips. Same with hot dogs. Same with hamburgers...but at least I could get those down.
Just don't want your feelings hurt...it's a kid thing.

Interesting. I have had little kids to dinner who were THE pickiest eaters
who would eat NO meat, but LOVED my pulled pork. As the mother looked on in surprise, I opined, what's not to like about "sweet meat".
If it is too heavily smoked I agree--and don't much care for that myself. ;o)

The bbq sauce I make has more of a fresh taste, not sweet. It has a lot of ingredients
including fresh lemon, and is called Texas BBQ. it is the only one I make. I have made this brisket many times before, and the kids have all loved it. Thanks for the warning, however, I did change my beans from black beans to Pam Anderson's recipe using Pork and Beans as a base. This one has lots of crispy bacon in it and I knew the kids would all go for it.

What about Hawaiian buns for the kids? Slider size, softer, and sweeter than Kaiser rolls. In my
family, we'd slather those buns with mayo, then top with bbq pulled pork. But maybe with the mayo in the slaw, that's enough? I'm still not crazy about slaw on sandwiches but would give it a shot. smileys/smile.gif

I think you are good with serving BBQ sauce on the side for those who like a bit extra. As for the
buns - I'd check before toasting all of them, some (adults and kids) like a softer bun with BBQ.
If some of the kids are new to you (it sounds like they might be) - you might want to have a small bottle of ketchup around, but I don't think anyone would be asking for anything more (mustard, etc) to put on the sandwich aside from extra BBQ sauce.
Your meal sounds fabulous!

Just re-read the original. I think Kaiser rolls are much too crusty--and big. Texas BBQ
brisket is usually served on white sandwich bread--which was a HUGE shock to me when I first stopped for some!!. For takeout you walk out of the place with a loaf of Wonder Bread under your arm!!
Carolina BBQ is on regular hamburger buns--not toasted either. I serve on the Hawaiian rolls as suggested for sliders and it is really good.
We like slaw on or off the sandwich but BBQ sauce is always served on the side, not ON the BBQ as dished up. Of course, for kids it can be whatever is easiest. Unless the sauce is very hot with pepper, not sure what they wouldn't like.
And the idea of mayo must be like the Alabama BBQ white sauce!!

Yikes, now I am thinking of going the route of Sloppy Joes, our kids loved them
and back then, there was a great canned product called Sloppy Joe, you could mix with your hamburger. Anyone have a great recipe for a homemade version?
By the way, the Kaiser rolls we get here are not crusty, They are a nice soft round bun, already cut. I actually toast them on the cut side to give them a bit of crunch.

Don't change! If you like the Kaiser rolls, it is fine. My inlaws would put my BBQ
on a croissant!! THAT was culture shock!!
Sloppy Joes are good. Brown hamburger, add some tomato sauce, spices, onion, mustard, etc. Maybe some bell pepper.
But all my "talk" is about pulled pork, not brisket.
I make a good BBQ brisket/chuck/rump that is NOT authentic Texas BBQ and maybe close to sloppy joe.
Put a nice piece of stew beef (chuck, brisket, etc) on top of two sliced onions in a slow cooker. Top with a bottle of BBQ sauce and a can of beer. Cook on low for 6 hours or so. Shred the beef. Simmer the sauce to concentrate it a bit. Add the beef back in and serve on buns. It is really good!!

~smile~ but I'm actually serious. A couple of days ago I watched
a little video on super tasters and I immediately thought of you. One thing is they taste "bitter" when others don't and you say that a lot. And there is actually a little taster strip that you can find out.

After speaking to our daughter, the whole idea is about the foster kids,
what they have been used to eating prior to coming to her home. She has to pick her battles and make changes slowly. This was the easiest route for us to take considering they are coming on a 2500 mile journey in only 2 1/2 days in a car! Not sure the thinking here, but not my business. Sometimes, one has to just make life easier on themselves, and this is one of those times. I can always make our loved brisket at another time....very soon.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

I made these sloppy joe's from Rachael Ray one time and they were really good.
