Slow-cooked pork
Pulled pork stands for a slow-cooked piece of pork, it usually goes around the neck and/or shoulder of the pig. In general, we use attorney and the entire shoulder for this. Pulled prok is from America, where one speaks of ‘Boston Butt’. The name is a bit confusing for us Dutch, since the meat does not come from the back of the pig. ‘Butt’ in this case stands for the barrel (a butt) in which the meat was previously stored. Moreover, Boston does not stand for the geographical region, but for the cutting technique to prepare the meat.
Pulled apart meat
Pulled pork is a piece of pork that is marinated (for a day) and then cooked and cooled. After that, the meat is easily pulled apart, something where the name comes today. Pulled pork is nothing but pulled pork. The meat looks a bit like the well-known pulled pork in the Netherlands. In this case, however, it is pork with a rich and sweet taste, thanks to the marinade which has penetrated well deep into the meat due to the slow preparation.
