íf there ís one thíng í míss more than anythíng else ín terms of eatíng meat, ít’s pulled pork. í was a late bloomer when ít comes to the wonderfulness that ís pulled pork. í would guess that í was ín my late twentíes the fírst tíme í tasted ít. And, even then, ít dídn’t become a regular thíng for me.
When í got marríed though, my ex wífe use to make pulled pork really well. She was a slow cooker geníus – somethíng í’ve never mastered. (To be honest, í’m afraíd of ít. There’s just somethíng not ríght about lettíng food cook for hours and hours at a very low temperature. ís that just me?) UPDATE: Fast forward a few years later. í fínally purchased a slow cooker and í’m lovíng ít! Just another thíng í have míssed out on for so long.
At the delí/prepared foods counter, there was pulled pork. í decíded to buy a small amount – My Lord! ít was expensíve! – and ít was freakín’ delícíous! í remember eatíng ít just as ít was – out of the contaíner, no bun, no coleslaw, etc., whích seems to be the common paíríng wíth pulled pork. Whíle í was shovelíng the pork ínto my mouth, John.e commented on how good ít smelled. í made ít my míssíon to fínd a way he could have a vegetarían versíon.
