Not offended at all Limey, just giving it back to ya. And I happen to like pulled pork quite a bit - but wouldn't eat hominy or grits with your mouth, nasty, nasty stuff.

This lovely place smokes their briskets and pork butts for 16 hours... and the sauce is on the table not the meat. It's yummeh.

not offended either; just mildly amazed at the effrontery.

I'm not a big bbq sauce fan myself, so I get what you mean.

Around here we use shredded beef, pork, and chicken in Mexican (Tex-Mex) dishes. Also, the smoked brisket (usually roasted with bbq sauce and Liquid Smoke) is a popular party dish--shredded with a fork and offered with sandwich fixins. Can feed a whole crowd that way.

I have a wonderful, wonderful recipe using shredded chicken--Mexican Sopa. A layered dish like mexican lasagna sort of, tho made with tortillas. It's post #3 (2d recipe) here:

Hominy... well, I never got the point.
Grits are tasty.

Pulled pork can be the food of the gods. What do you think the heroes are feasting on at Valhalla? Boneless skinless chicken breast? Puh-leeze.

Well, it's more or less canon that the pork is always boneless. They insist, you see, on gathering up all the roast boar bones to reconstruct the critter for tomorrow's feasting.

That's what I like about you, Perry -- you always keep an open mind!

limey · 10-24-2009, 11:20 PM

Well thank y'all for the enthusiastic (and forgiving) responses! I suppose what puzzled me was that over here mince (ground beef, to you guys) is the cheap stuff for covering with a very tasty sauce, and if you buy an expensive joint for roasting you want everyone to know it was bought in a big lump by serving it in slices under gravy.
So, if I gets me a brisket joint and cook it, and pull it apart with fork, do I serve it hot or cold? As a sandwich filling I get, but what else would accompany it?
Zip - I'll let you know when to expect me.
Perry - get cooking.
I lurve teh Cellar!
Oh, and which piece of pork should I pull?!

Cloud · 10-24-2009, 11:24 PM

serve hot (or warm); typical accompaniments would be potato salad and beans

jinx · 10-24-2009, 11:25 PM

Cole slaw

Cloud · 10-24-2009, 11:44 PM

yeah, I almost mentioned coleslaw. but I like potato salad better.

limey · 10-24-2009, 11:45 PM

And by "beans" you mean tinned baked beans in tomato sauce? or the homemade equivalent? or ?

My dad's recipe:
Tinned beans
Fried bacon, in small pieces
Diced onion, sauteed in the bacon grease
Brown sugar
Dry mustard
Worcestershire Sauce
BBQ sauce

Then bake them low and slow until thick and caramelized.

I wish I could be more precise, but it's really an art more than a science. Correct measurements are "enough" and "taste this for me."

Could always refer you to the Boston baked beans recipe in the first couple of pages of the "Okay, this is the most recent recipe thread." Further on, there is a little bit on using a pressure cooker to fix baked beans. I find I don't buy a lot of tinned beans these days. Depends on how creative I feel; my fellow church parishioners really seem to like them when I bring them to a church luncheon.
