Hey, a few errors: 1. North Carolina isn't the only state that cooks Hush puppies - (SC, GA, AL all do) 2. North Carolina doesn't have a monopoly on BBQ, BBQ sauce, the methods of cooking BBQ, or BBQ-related get togethers.

This article was written in an extremely North Carolina-centric manner, with (some) erroneous information. 71.76.144.188 00:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)Matt (sorry I don't understand formatting)

I have to agree there. The pig roast is also done in the Philippines (my dad's from there) and traditional Filipino parties in the USA. It certainly isn't solely an NC phenomenon. I'm adding the {{worldview}} tag because of that. ~Crazytales [talk] 11:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Pig roasts are done all over the US. Not just in North Carolina.

I respectfully disagree. Wile pig roasts may be common the world over, a pig pickin is a North Carolina tradition. It has cultural as well as culinary aspects that separate it from, for example, its Hawain counterpart.

It is not just a "North Carolina Tradition" I am afraid. It is most definitely a Carolina tradition (which includes South Carolina as well), but a pig pickin could arguably be defined as a southern tradition. Attempting to make some improvements to this article, most especially adding some more SOURCED information. Let's try to keep this as Neutral POV as possible. --Coldbourne 18:50, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
