To be sick of pulled pork?

[IsChippyMintonExDirectory]

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

Man v food did it for me.

There's a cocktail bar in Leeds that does something called a Louisiana Jam which is served in a jam jar with apricot jam in it. I thought it was quite cute, but I do dislike eating off wooden boards and find it strange how it's reserved to special foods in the pubs and restaurants around here.

New York chicken= plate. Burger= plank.

One pub near us does nachos and one bowl has nacho cheese and the other has mozzarella. This would usually irritate me, but I like stealing the one with mozzarella and giving the crap other one to DH

I think we ticked all the boxes when we ate out last Saturday on hols.

'Slaw - Check
Pulled Pork - Check
Chips in a mug (WTF?!) - Check
Plank - Check

This was at Harveys in Llandudno and the bill for 2 pulled pork rolls with chips and 'slaw, a kids meal and 4 beers came to nearly £50

Oh I haven't come across chips in a mug yet. Do you think they are using the mug as it holds less chips than the metal plant pot?

We were served chips (well, french fries; it was in the States) in silver goblets at a wedding.

ariad I was more imagining something with whipped up goat's cheese frosting decorated with crisped caramelised red onion!

They do chips in a mug at the canteen at work - it does make it easier for you to just take a portion of chips. When I tip them on to the plate, it looks about the same as I would normally expect for a portion anyway.

I've just had grilled halloumi with my dinner.

Surely caramelised beetroot unlucky83, much trendier.

I love it. YABU. I am definitely going to cook it for supper tomorrow.

YANBU. I used to love it but it's been done to death. Greggs have a pulled pork pasty. It's officially over.

What's pulled pork. Feel free to LYFAO at me for not knowing.

Gregg's pulled pork pasty sounds like heaven in a greasy paper bag to me. [classy]

Don'tgotosleep It's a pork joint (usually shoulder) that has been very slowly cooked and then shredded (kinda like the duck you get in pancakes in Chinese restaurants). It usually comes with a sort of sticky, sweet BBQ sauce. It's yum. But it got VERY trendy a while ago and now it's absolutely everywhere.

Sounds delicious.

We ate it for lunch today and it was yum!

Oh God yes, salted caramel is the sweet version of pulled pork. Cannot move for the decking stuff.

fecking not decking. Autocorrect mind your own business please.

I love beetroot. Always have, since being a small child and 47 now. so not trendy - just love beetroot.

I love halloumi too.

But anything pops makes me stubby.

Cakepops = me feeling stabby.

Lamb lollipops = me feeling triple stabby.

A lamb lollipop is just a French trimmed singular lamb chop to you and me and the butcher. A lamb lollipop is some daft thing thought up by marketing persons.

Oh for crying out loud. STABBY STABBY STABBY not stubby.

Lol at your pacifist, non-sweary autocorrect FB

Pulled pork with honemade rolls and coleslaw here tonight for the family. Cheap cheerful and easy.
I am off for supper at wether spoons with the girls. Real classy here !

Triple cooked chips, anyone? I'm a bit fucking bored with seeing them now, reheated shite.

The joy of food trends. At the moment the food trend for veggies is macaroni cheese - called mac 'n' cheese to make it sound edible. If you have the misfortune of being a veggie at a BBQ the veggie option is a mushroom in a bun. Usually at the same price as the meat option.
Have just come back from a UK holiday & have been moaning about the veggie options especially pub food.
