Existential angst aside, the contemplation of one’s mortality brings to mind many, more practical, considerations. First and foremost in my mind is **how the heck am I gonna be able to eat Texas BBQ in the afterlife**??? Lucky for us, the science of archaeology and the wisdom of the ancients has already worked this one out. The Ancient Egyptians [mummified MEAT](http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/11/egyptian-mummies-afterlife-diet/)!!! That article even has a picture of a beautiful mummified beef rib! Finally, I can die happy. ---

If we’re not supposed to eat animals, howcome god covered them in tasty meat? Of course there’ll be meat in heaven. You just have to find the right kitchen. ---

Since nobody in this life was going to be eating the mummified meat, I figured I’d go for MPSIMS 😛 ---

Why the hate, man? Is there not enough love in this world for all types of delicious, tender, slow-cooked, roast meat? In fact, why are we even arguing about this when we could be stuffing our faces with delicious meat? ---

Texas does not have BBQ, they have beef with sauce. BBQ is pork - always and only. ---

> [@Doctor\_Jackson](#): > > Texas does not have BBQ, they have beef with sauce. BBQ is pork - always and only. I like the cut of your jib mister. The ancient Sumerians defined BBQ as “yon pig”. Or maybe it was the old New Englanders. Whoever, they were correct. ---
