doing a hog does take a bit
I had to laugh when I read your post...after overcoming the outrage of being called a Yankee, of course.
Just yesterday I was reading some online recipes for pulled pork to see if there was anything interesting I wanted to try.
I ran across this:
Long ago, settlers brought pigs to the United States and left them to wander the wild. This climate where cattle perished was ideal for hogs, and therefore became the meat of the South.
In this part of the world barbecue is synonymous with pork. Were you to mention beef barbecue in the Carolinas you are likely to be shown the door.
Once the Texan has been shown the door over his pronouncements of the virtues of brisket, those left behind will most likely start a fight over all the variations of what is called the true barbecue.
There continues to be feuding in the Southern United States over which part of the hog is best for making pork. Typically this debate is over using the entire hog or just the shoulder...
