Carolina style
Mustard or vinegar
Carolina style describes food prepared in the manner of the Carolinas, especially barbecue.
The term typically signals a vinegar-based sauce rather than tomato or mustard varieties, though South Carolina favors a mustard-based "Carolina gold." Carolina style may also indicate pulled pork rather than sliced or chopped: I'll take the pulled pork sandwich, Carolina style.
