Pulled Some Pork Yesterday

[Lily Sawyer]

Well, I like to keep the sauce going before during and after the actual pulling.

I bet you do.

Not touching that one...........

Get your mind out of the gutter; I'm losing room.

I didn't have the slaw, but I did have some terrific bread and butter pickles with my sammich.

Heresy! You *never* put sweet pickles on barbecue, Yankee. (Not to mention the fact that you paired quite possibly the most disgusting pickles known to mankind with pulled pork: bread-and-butter. Ew.

Try sweet 'n hot next time. On the side. Dill pickles on barbecue, my friend.

I can connect the dots between pulled pork and the minor leagues (location, location, location), but I'm having a hard time with pulled pork and the majors, especially out in San Francisco and Boston.

Ain't no real pulled pork in either of those two locations.
Any Southern gal worth her chess pie knows the real thing comes from south of the Mason-Dixon line.

I've never pulled pork at Fenway.

I bet you do.

Too obvious?

That is a delicious quip and I'm stealing it. (Did you like the baseball reference?)

My pork was done in the crock this time over about a 10 hour stretch. Impressive to the very end. I have noted your expertise in the pickle area and will certainly be asking for advice if and when I choose to get my pork near a fire.

Would someone please translate for an ignorant Brit, what the hell is "pulled pork" and a "chess pie"?

OoO posted a great basic recipe for chess pie, but keep in mind there are several incarnations of it: lemon chess pie, coconut chess pie, coconut-lemon chess pie (as if one of either wasn't enough). There's also a story behind its name, but I don't want to bore you or hijack this thread in the name of chess pie. ;-)

*sniff* Your crock-pot version is both fast and lazy...but I will give you kudos and applause for attempting to make it. Not so much for trying to pair it with baseball - that would be the hot dog thread! Am I right??

I thought I taught you better: pulled pork is always smoked for a long time over low heat in some fashion, whether it's in a smoker, packed in a fire pit, or shoved inside banana leaves into a sand dune in Hawaii. Yes, Virginia, there really *is* Hawaiian barbecue. Lookie here; this is what Sundrop and I scarfed down in L.A. when she came to visit:

Thank you folks, you live and learn!
Fancy the pie,lemon sounds good but not so sure about the pulled pork.
Think I'll stick with a nice pot of tea and a toasted tea cake. Cheers.

The baseball came into the thread because I know our friend EMARX is a Blue Jays fan and they kicked The Red Sux ass last night (and all of last week save one game). I was trying to make up to him because I had made fun of the Jays earlier in the season. Silly me.

Comforting to know that you and Sunny can find a good pork at the drop of a hat.

Dammit, you just knocked me off the bench!

(but I did appreciate the baseball reference)

And I'm not goin down that other road.....

GNT can do that..

...Hey!....I resemble that remark!....

 

[GNTLGNT]

...I prefer someone else to pull my pork, so I can concentrate on making the sauce....

Now this makes perfect sense.

Also, a lot of people use a fork to pull their pork, I prefer to use my fingers.

She had it all mapped out, then? Kinda like a map to the stars' homes?
