Think pulled pork and the connection is straight to the southern states of america. In britain, we have had a love of this food for a very long time, for so long it is now considered one our mainstream foods. There is barely a food market, festival or barbecue where pulled pork does not appear. The shoulder is the cut of pork recommended for this dish. It is fatty and rich and stacked with flavor, making it perfect for the long slow cooking. If you can, choose outdoor-reared pork as it is even more flavorsome. To create the lovely, slight smokiness of the pulled pork, i like to use smoked salt. If you can't find smoked salt then you can make your own, or use smoked paprika which also works well. Don't like the heat from chili? Then simply leave it out.
