You take a beautiful piece of barbecued meat with a wonderful
exterior, and cooked perfectly and you smash your hand in there and
rip it apart. I was watching a barbecue contest (TV) the other day,
and they made some beautiful pork shoulder and also brisket. Instead
of slicing the meat nicely when it was done, they just ripped it
apart. I'd never do that. I find it very unappetizing. It kind of
reminds me of another barbecue show that I watched, where they put a
side of hog on their smoker. When it was done, they shredded all the
meat and mixed it up. It just doesn't do anything for me. I mean cut
it off nicely etc. Up here in Canada our grocery store has already
gone in on the shredded meat craze. They sell pulled barbecue pork at
the deli counter. Count me out.

So, don't eat it. What good does it do to complain here?

He's only at the beginning stages of picky. Shredded pork, properly
flavored, is TDF!! ;-)

To what purpose? Is he not confident of his opinion? Would
finding like-minded people here validate his preferences?

Sometimes people post what the rest of us think is odd to find out if
they are alone or not. Nothing wrong with that. We have some people
with real peculiarities posting here, so there could be quite a
contingent of like minded people.

Q really is an American thing. Pulled pork sandwiches are the best
especially when served with a layer of tangy cole slaw. We serve it all
kinds of ways and pulled is just one.

Not all Texans are Mexicans, but that's still a great question. I think
they do; especially cabrito.

Don't Mexicans use shredded meat?

There's a Mexican dish (not Tex-Mex) called Piccadillo (sp) which uses
shredded meat.

As am I. I just made some shredded beef in the ol' slow cooker on
Saturday. I'm eating it in fajita-sized flour tortillas with havarti.

As crude as it sounds, I might do pulled pork (with barbecue sauce) this
coming weekend.

And yes I floss daily, so it's not a big deal.
