Just having this for the first time.

My kid made me promise to go to a place called "Pig BBQ Joint" and buy the pulled pork poutine. It's not something that would ever occur to me to do unless told.

As the name suggests, it is a manly restaurant. Every thing about each single word in their name describes the atmosphere and attitude of the place... with a little, tasteful modern deco. Pig. BBQ. Joint. Going to this place on a date would be the culinary equivalent of being a chick who loves hockey.

Anyway... I got take out and it smelled so damn good I almost stopped halfway home to eat some. Quite delicious though not the healthiest choice of dinners.

"Phils BBQ" best pulled pork in San Diego lines wrapped around the building every day.

Very sad.

What is up with those girls? Theyre a very different breed and I dont understand them.

Regarding pulled pork lets just leave healthy out of it.

The term 'Pulled pork' conjures up un-culinary images this side of the Atlantic

So....what is pulled pork stateside ?

I originally pictured it as being pulled apart in the raw stage... which is why I wouldn't have thought to try it.

As it turns out, it's slow cooked on a barbeque to a tenderness that allows the meat to be pulled into stringy clumps saturated in flavour and, most likely, fat.

Pork cooked or smoked very slowly so that the meat is so tender it is pulled apart rather than cut. :yh_drool

We English are an uncouth breed, obviously.

The "unhealthy" aspect escapes me, it sounds (with, perhaps, a helping of mashed potatoes and a pea or two) just what the doctor would recommend.

It's good food.

Pulled pork sandwiches are the best when topped with a scoop of homemade coleslaw.

hello my long lost friend!

I've never even heard of pulled pork, but it sounds good on rye bread.

Just had some pulled pork yesterday, as a matter of fact, with Hubby at Ryans restaurant. Delicious with mashed potatoes, corn, and cole slaw.

Talk about restaurant ambience. Ryans is one of those all you can eat buffet places. One plate does it for us. They play oldies in the background, but you can also hear the chatter of the other patrons and waitresses and dishes and silverware clicking. A family place to get "a good feed".

It does sound delicious AFTR, what a shame we don't have Ryans here, buffets are the best and I would love the ambiance!

Pulled pork is a staple where I come from. Though we call it barbeque.

The social event is what's called a Pig Pickin'

Someone sets a whole hog on a spit over hot coals, and turns it slowly for hours, basting it regularly in a nice spicy vinegar sauce.

When the hog is done, it's laid out on the table along with all the fixin's and everybody pulls off some meat, fills their plate and chows down.

Quite the feast, it is.
