Who else is fed up of seeing pulled pork?
I am personally fed up of hearing it mentioned all the time. You see it every where these days, i really do not see the overall attraction of pulled pork.
Its OK but nothing special!, people seem obsessed with it! Give me some belly pork any day!!! |

First time I had pulled pork was about 2 years ago. It was delicious. Since then everything be does it and it varies in quality and taste. Even Lidl and Aldi do it ready to eat.

Posted this the other week Quote:
Pulled 'meat' seems to be the 'in thing' at the moment.
Supermarkets and restaurants selling pulled pork and shredded beef. KFC with their pulled chicken. I tried that burger last week and wasn't impressed. Tonight had the BK Pulled Pork Whopper. Again, not impressed. A regular Whopper would have been preferable. You have to remember that shredded duck / beef has been a staple in Chinese restaurants/takeaway for years so the concept of slow cooked shredded (pulled) meat is nothing new really. |

I am fed up of seeing it too lol. The first time I tried it I thought it was ok. It just seems to be everywhere now. It is even in the fish and chips supplier magazine we get for my chippy. It's so expensive! They say you should give a 6 oz portion. And charge an arm and a leg for it lol

Belly pork and ribs are the best forms of pork. Pulled pork is nice, but I prefer slow cooked beef, lamb and duck.

The sipermarkets & resturants are happy with it because its a way to sell inferiot joints of meat at a premium price. Not a fan & it looks revolting.

Looks and taste are two different things. Take a pork shoulder. Season with onion, garlic, salt and pepper. Slow roast or crock pot it until it is fall apart tender. Shred with a couple of forks and douse with BBQ sauce. Serve on a soft bread roll or with sides like coleslaw, potato salad, collard greens and candied yams and you have some mighty fine eating.

Why would you be fed up of seeing it? Are you fed up of seeing pizza everywhere, or burgers, or fish and chips?
Done well it's a lovely thing, I had a pulled pork and nduja croquette as part of my meal in a restaurant and it was lovely, in another place I had a nice burger with it on too. I've had rabbit done that way too and that was very good. |

Since people started posting about it I've seen it in the supermarket but never bought any
If it wasn't for DS I'd have no idea it even existed |

If you don't want it, don't buy it! How can you be 'fed up' of it? It's there for people who want it, no one's forcing you to eat it! Can't you just get one of the other millions of alternatives?

I see the OP's point.
A decade ago hardly anyone outside of the USA heard of it. Cooked properly with the appropriate dry rub/ bbq sauce, there are few things more delicious. Nowadays it appears everywhere, in sandwiches, burgers and as toppings on pizza Every cuisine seems to be hopping on the "pulled" meat bandwagon.On a daytrip to the beach, during the Easter heatwave ( a distant memory), a busy small restaurant was doing an all day bbq special. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with 'slaw. It bore little resemblance to the original southern states classic. It was a slice of grey white pork, still rolled up and intact, i.e not pulled, with fatty layer, gristle and no hint of spice or seasoning save for a tiny smear of bbq sauce on one side of the bread roll. Translation had obviously been lost somewhere along the line.

Why cant they just slow roast and serve it properly. I have had it before (done at home) it is nice but its just "over egged" |

Made it at the weekend - it was lovely. It's a great way to change up a pork roast, especially now the weather is getting warmer. Fresh coleslaw, little rolls and some potato wedges - yum.

Baby food for adults!
I bet a pork joint goes further in a restaurant when you shred it and serve small amounts in large fluffy mountains. |
