Everytime I blimmin go to a restaurant or cafe these days everything is pulled effing pork. Pulled pork sandwiches, wrap, flatbread, pizza - even saw pulled pork on top of chips today and so expensive for what is essentially offal, no?

Anyone care to join me in my pulled pork grump? (and yes I know I can order something else) just think it's over rated

Yup, it's overkill. They do it because it's really cheap to produce so they get more profit.

Slow roasted not sloe

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it's the meat nearest the bone I think? Which is why it has more taste?

lol we went off it after doing it ourselves in the slow cooker. The butcher gave us half a pig - we were eating it for days!

Having pulled pork tonight Sad it isn't really offal is it?

SirChenjin · 16/08/2014 18:57

Me too - even single bit of meat is now pulled. Overkill definitely - but bloody lovely all the same, until the next food fashion comes along

anyoldname76 · 16/08/2014 18:57

Its not offall, its slow roasted joints of pork unless ive been doing it wrong.

I love it, although I very rarely eat it when out as I don't like BBQ sauce

dementedma · 16/08/2014 18:57

Its not offal. Its just roasted very very slowly until really tender.

Groovee · 16/08/2014 18:57

I love pulled pork. But I make my own version as I don't like bbq sauce. We only have it once in a while though.

TheBloodManCometh · 16/08/2014 18:57

Pulled pork is a method of cooking pork where what would otherwise be a tough cut of meat is cooked slowly at low temperatures, allowing the meat to become tender enough so that it can be "pulled", or easily broken into individual pieces.

Pulled pork is not offal. Is is pork shoulder slow cooked and

WelshBlackbird · 16/08/2014 18:58

I love pulled pork with BBQ sauce. My family love it too - And it is soo easy to make. I wouldn't order it at a restaurant though. Why would anyone order pulled pork at a restaurant?

Elderflowergranita · 16/08/2014 18:58

Pulled pork is not offal! Offal refers to the entrails of an animal.

DontWorrryBaldrickHasACunningP · 16/08/2014 18:58

Pulled apart. Bloody iphone!

jacks365 · 16/08/2014 18:59

Pulled pork isn't made with offal. It is meat, offal is things like liver, kidneys etc.

Doing pulled pork for lunch tomorrow.

ICanSeeTheSun · 16/08/2014 18:59

I use a shoulder of pork slowly cooked in my slower cooker.

LadySybilLikesCake · 16/08/2014 19:00

It's bits you wouldn't normally buy because they take yonks to cook. They buy them in packs, already cooked so all they need to do is heat them up. They cost very little because people don't have the time to cook from scratch for hours on end. It's not offal. Offal is the bits that no one wants to cook rather than don't have the time to cook.

I've never tried it.

I always think the phrase sounds faintly rude. Grin
