Living in West TN for 30+ years, also having lived in South Carolina a
couple of years before that, I've never heard of a mayo-based "white sauce"
for pulled pork. Reg stated there is an Alabama sauce that is mayo based.
Not around here!

Most folks just use their fav (red) BBQ sauce. It's up to you whether that
BBQ sauce is mustard or vinegar based. I prefer the vinegar based since I'm
not a huge fan of yellow mustard. The sauce is added as a topping as
desired to the pulled pork, whether you eat the pork as a sandwich or not.

As for the slaw, if you're going to make a pulled pork sandwich, around here
it goes *on* the sandwich (which is served on the cheap hamburger buns
others have mentioned). But I don't like cole slaw so if I must eat pulled
pork I leave slaw off completely.

Tara mentioned the usual sides - BBQ or baked beans, potato salad, pickles,
potato chips, are all common sides with pulled pork. Tara also mentioned
desserts - banana pudding, cobblers and the like.

Are you going to make the pulled pork at home or have you found a place that
you can go to eat it? (I forget where you live, sorry!)
