America doesn't have cuisine it has food. Do we really need to eat it in the UK?

The other way around isn't it? It's the UKs lack of a coherent culinary tradition and lack even of consensus as to what constitutes a decent meal that seems to make it susceptible to ever more exotic food fads.

With slaw and sweet potato fries

Now your talking ( drool )

Never tasted it - is it shredded slow cooked pork belly?

Don't trust US food after a holiday in mid-town Florida [borrowed time-share admittedly in the late 90s] where Denny's and similar chains were the only places we could find to eat.... 22 oz Coca Cola and mechanically recovered 'treated' meat previously unfit for human consumption... yuk.

Pulled pork is great but the problem is that it's so cheap and easy to make mediocre pulled pork that everywhere is doing it now.

I remember when there was about 2 places serving pulled pork in Glasgow, and they were both brilliant

Down in Lyme Regis is a little shop called the Whole Hog that has been selling pork roast rolls for years.

Very very yummy

Jambalaya.

It may not be cuisine, but if liking it is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I found this recipe which looks like it might be rather good for a bone-in shoulder.

America seem to be very good at selling really cheap rubbish as a delicacy.

Most decent cooks would not buy ready made mince but they sell it as burgers.
Pulled pork is just cheap and tough pork made tender by the slow cooking. Surely not worth restaurant prices?
As for hot dogs - I dread to think what they are made of.

Next it will be mutton stew with a new name.

[QUOTE 3241091, member: 259"]No, usually the "Boston butt" is used - the shoulder to you and me.

The belly is too fatty for pulled pork, and you need it to be on the bone to get the most flavour[/QUOTE]
Thanks for enlightening me.
