Question:
How do you like your pulled pork?

Choices:
Chunks (e.g. thumb-sized pieces)
Shredded coarse
Shredded fine
Chopped fine

 

Big honkin' shreds! Good stuff.

Okay, but I like it all. So where's the "all the above" radio button?

Shredded coarse - It's called pulled pork for a reason

-Mark.

Perhaps the title should be "Pork Butt: Chunked, Shredded, or Chopped?" Unfortunately, I can't change the title without resetting the poll results.

Chris

Shredded course, I like some feel to what I'm chewing. A fine texture would feel like mush to me.

Thanks for the quick response Chris!

I like it somewhere between "chopped" & shredded coarse. Half-bite sized pieces, so you get little bites of the bark with juicy morsels between.

My wife likes it shredded fine & sauced to where it starts to look sort of like "hair".

Guess I'll have to stop-by a Comp & see how the experts think it's supposed to be?...

None of the above or, rather, a mix. I pull into whatever the shred size and chop better than half the shreds with a knife. Nuggets of bark-y chunks get folded in after.

the fine shredding seems to get a little mushy

If not saucing, trying to keep it chunky seems to help the roast retain moisture till and during serving.

So if I shred until the thicknesss of my little finger, is that coarse?

Quite.

I love those big ole pieces of pulled pork. MMMM! Reminds me of the first time I attended a whole hog cook. They were serving big ropes of pork. I ate myself into a coma.

I serve half large pulled and half pulled then chopped. Makes everybody happy and gets eaten almost exactly equally.

Shredded coarse!

Nice in a tortilla or a sub.

Gotta be shredded. Chopped gets too mushy and chunks doesn't seem right.

I had some chopped chicken salad one time, reminded me of wet saw dust.
