Pulled pork is a popular dish made from slow-cooked pork, typically from the shoulder cut. The meat is cooked until it becomes tender enough to be easily shredded with a fork. This cooking method often involves seasoning the pork with a dry rub or marinating it in a flavorful sauce before cooking. Once cooked, the shredded pork can be served in various ways, such as in sandwiches, tacos, or on its own. It is commonly paired with barbecue sauce and enjoyed at gatherings, picnics, and barbecues, making it a favorite comfort food in many regions, especially in the southern United States.
