What do you put on your pulled pork sandwiches?

[bbqLuv]

Plain Pork Sliders or Sandwiches with BBQ on the side for dipping.

Dreamland BBQ sauce and quick pickled red onions. And a nice vinegary slaw.

Rick Bayless recipe for quick pickled onions, Jim, jfmorris . Although his are not quick, since he recommends they sit for 24 hours. They taste pretty darn good in 2 hours though, although much better in 24.

Michael_in_TX tipped us off to that recipe in another topic.

Mustard, dill pickle, sauerkraut, and sometimes Swiss cheese.

You people really know how to fancy up a BBQ sandwich.

Our crew typically keeps it simple to allow that smoky goodness to shine through. If anything is added, it's usually

• Vinegar-based sauce and/or Texas Pete (Crystal is also a solid option here);
• Slaw...preferably the outstanding mustard-based slaw available at Parkers BBQ Restaurants in eastern NC.

BBQ sauce, if anything. I’ve been buying local sauce and Lilly’Q is my favorite. Never liked any type of coleslaw.

Love pulled pork alone, on a bun and then in my eggs the next day.

[smokenoob]

pulled pork in eggs, never thought of that one 👍

[RichardCullip]

Mayo on the bun, perhaps a bit of BBQ sauce and coleslaw on the plate not in the sandwich

Good question! If I make pulled pork sandwiches for myself I keep it simple: a good load of meat, pickles, thinly sliced silver onion and some grated mature cheddar.

Usually nothing, although I'll have a little sauce on the side for dipping, just to mix up the flavors a bit. On a good 1/2 pounds sandwich I'll dip 3-4 bites of the sandwich.
My wife, who was born and raised in NC likes slaw and KC-ish sauce (Meat Mitch Whomp Sauce or Jack Daniels Honey BBQ sauce. I recently got some Lanes "Kinda Sweet" and she like that also.). The slaw on sandwiches is just something I have never understood.

My wife's Buttermilk Coleslaw and Meathead's Columbia Gold

I had some Columbia Gold one night and........sorry, wrong forum.

[Openfire]

[Troutman]

I always thought you guys with high post counts had big mouths but that clinches it! 😁😁😁

For me, usually something slightly acidic, like vinegary coleslaw (sometimes with/without a drop of two of sesame oil), or fresh-pickled onions, or fresh-pickled thinly sliced cukes, or sometimes kimchi or sauerkraut. The kids like something slightly sweeter, like barbecue sauce with hot sauce, or sriracha ketchup, or Indonesian ketjap. Basically, I put some sort of vinegary vegetable on mine, they put sweeter hotter smoother sauces on theirs.

Claussen kosher dill pickle chips or sandwich slices along with a good Eastern NC vinegar based sauce drizzled over the top. A good store bought brand that comes to mind is Mac's Speed Shop Eastern NC style. Sometimes a shake or two of Texas Pete.
