Trivia: What word refers to the crunchy exterior of barbecued meat?
Plaster
Bark
Armor
Whiskers
The correct answer is Bark
So why is this answer correct? : The bark is one of the most succulent elements of barbecue cooking. It is formed during the smoking process when the dry rub on a piece of meat hardens to create an edible “shell” that is packed with flavor. This crust is formed at the perfect temperature midpoint, as too low of a temperature will fail to create the bark, and too high a temperature will burn the meat.
