It's been this writer's experience that the most engagement -- and the most passionate responses -- on Twitter/X come from food takes. Say you like Pepsi instead of Coke or pineapple on pizza and watch your mentions blow up.
So Senator John Cornyn, saying the brisket wars have begun, got roasted for his picture of a bacon-wrapped something, that most people didn't consider brisket.

Look -- bacon is great. We love bacon. Huge fans.
It doesn't belong on brisket.
Oh governor no

Heh.
This is what Texas brisket looks like. pic.twitter.com/Z8Bd4ioMYD

Yes it is.
This brisket is as strong as your support for the Second Amendment...

Oof.
So you cook it on high for 3 1/2 days straight, then smother it with 2 pounds of ketchup to try to put it out of its misery??

Smart.
We laughed.
I am going to primary you in 2026

We can imagine it, and it's not good.
Good God, that is an abomination. You must now resign in disgrace.

An abomination is putting it mildly.
Seriously, we need a moratorium on politicians grilling or barbecuing anything in public until we can figure out what’s going on. https://t.co/UELZbf1bJH

We agree with this.
Senator, this is what you think is real brisket when you have been in the swamp too long.
— Attorney General Ken Paxton (@KenPaxtonTX) April 2, 2024
This is what Texans believe is real Brisket. https://t.co/M9Salwwuwu pic.twitter.com/ev5oDqoETW
That looks delicious.
Just seeing this. Oh no no no no no. https://t.co/Ef4u2JCd46

No, no, no, no.

Hahahaha.
Texas should actually be forced to secede from the Union because of this brisket. https://t.co/pSbr5zzsSI
— Prison Mitch (@MidnightMitch) April 1, 2024
Buh-bye.
This looks braised in ketchup. The Senator needs to find the herd that this cow came from and apologize to each of them. https://t.co/t7OsuLTcaY
— Mark 🥓🥓🐊 🇮🇱 (@PitmasterMark69) April 1, 2024
A hand-written apology. Those cows didn't die for this.
I don’t know what that is, but calling it “brisket” is a war crime. https://t.co/Ih7QCwGF7T
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) April 1, 2024
It's actual misinformation, for sure.
How are you from Texas and make Brisket that looks like this?! I’d expect this from like…New England…but TEXAS?! https://t.co/pxmCAI3zRt pic.twitter.com/wdoZeVsQjt
— Shao Trommashere (@MedicTrommasher) April 2, 2024
We're all judging the good senator from Texas.
Jesus just died again after seeing that brisket. https://t.co/pSbr5zzsSI

Ouch. Funny, but ouch.
