Wrong! It's not an overcooked roast. It is a seasoned piece of meat
that is smoked loooooow and sloooooow. Smoking it low and slow give the
collagen time to break down and make the meat fall off the bone tender.

Not necessarily. Some restaurants do chop it and some just pull the
succulent meat apart. You can get chopped or pulled pork; your choice.
When I do a smoked Boston butt or buy barbecue at a bbq joint the sauce is
never on the meat. The different bottles of the sauce is there on the table
for the consumer to add if they prefer or none at all. Some folks like the
mild sauce while others like the 'blow your head off' variety. When I take pulled pork to our Fourth of July feast I tell whoever is having the
feast at their house to buy or make whatever sauces they like. I'm not going
to bring smoked pork drowned in whatever sauce _I_ like.

It can be used in other dishes besides meat. But I'm not too fond of the
national brands on the supermarket shelves

It depends on what type of meat you're wanting to present. I'd never do a
smoked butt and try to present like I do a pork roast with apples and
kraut. But barbecue in Texas is mainly of the beef variety. The 4-legged
animal of choice in the South is pork.

Maybe someday you will get the chance to eat some authentic slooooow
cooked smoked pork. But again, there's no law, the barbecue sauce
police will not arrest you if you don't like it on your meat.
