It's like burgers in Europe before the artisanal burger places started opening up everyhwere - people really didn't understand how to make a good burger. Pulled pork in places where it doesn't originate from more often than not tends to be bad.

KozmoNaut posted:You had super crappy pulled pork. If your pulled pork is chewy, you have utterly failed as a restaurant, even more so if you drown it in sauce. I think a lot of people think lean meat = good, so they take lean bits of pork and try and turn it into pulled pork. I think you want the fattier cuts, because that makes it nice and tender and juicy? Like how you want fatty ground beef for a good chilli.

Weird that something that is such a staple in the US is just now making it to Europe. Pulled pork is amazing when done correctly.

I was ahead of the curve and have been making my own pulled pork for years. The stuff most people make is terrible, by the way. Basically just sloppy joes with pork.

I find pulled pork exists in some sort of quantum entangled state of both being trendy and cheap, here. Its both cheap American garbage when served with white bread and grocery store coleslaw but super trendy when done as sliders with kale slaw with an aioli made from local eggs.

Well, In Finland we have this thing called pulled oats. "Pulled oats is a new kind of plant protein food that utilizes oats, fababeans and pea as protein sources. Light, cold summer nights and plenty of fresh showers make the Northern oats grow golden, rich and mellow. Oat and beans like each other already on the field, as every second year beans produce high amounts of nitrogen to the soil, and oats utilize it effectively the year after." http://www.goldandgreenfoods.com

Like there's 3 "artisan" or whatever burger places within spitting distance of me, and one being built. Why is this necessary? What happens when the burger bubble bursts?

This is true about legitimate Philly cheesesteaks too. As simple as it seems I've never seen any other city recreate it properly, so I'm sure these chain versions are awful. Has any restaurant made a deconstructed cheesesteak?

I've had the pleasure of trying an authentic philly cheesesteak and it's a good thing I don't live in America because I'd be 900lbs by now because I'd never stop eating them.

They don't understand Mexican food over here in England either. Everything must have japalenos and chilli powder in it. EVERYTHING. Burrito? Gotta be spicy as gently caress. Plain quesadilla? You betcha it's got chunks of jalapeno in it anyway.

KiteAuraan posted:I am still pissed that kale got trendy and expensive. I used to be able to eat it all the time because it was loving cheap. In the Netherlands Kale is called Boerenkool and has been something old people have been eating for a very long time, it's like the least trendy thing imaginable. But as always we're a couple years behind the US and now trendy foodie magazines are raving about Kale, but using the English word, because otherwise people would realize it's not a hip thing at all but the stuff your grandma eats but made into a loving smoothie. Also nthing the pulled pork suddenly appearing everywhere now.

I've noticed a huge trend around here in the last few years to make a "Thai" menu item and it's basically just their chicken item with sweet chili sauce on it. Like, how loving fancy and authentic, you guys.

But the entire country has a weird form of culinary Stockholm syndrome where they swear up and down that blood pudding and bland gravy are delicious. Then when I asked to go get delicious english food to prove me wrong, they took me to a kebab and gyro stand. America will always be the greatest country on earth because it is the only place in the world where you can have the best Mexican restaurant in the world and less than 50 miles away you can also get this:

Yes pulled pork became trendy recently in Australia. Also pork belly at about the same kind too, I think Masterchef had a lot to do with that.

I want to rage out about "bad pulled pork," but it's just one way of serving a protein. You can gently caress it up, sure, but if you try it the way it's meant to be done it's amazing. e: Also, fwiw, my definition of both BBQ and pulled pork is "spicy-sweet red sauce with cole slaw and hush puppies," but that's poor food here, probably expensive food elsewhere.

All these tiny, overcrowded cafes charging $20 for a burger or a serve of fried chicken is so crazy to me. I saw a Domino's ad recently for 'pulled beef' pizza which makes me irrationally annoyed.

 Superfoods are bad enough on their own, but I came across a soap in a store that claimed to include stuff like chia seed and guarana. If they even have any effects whatsoever from being ingested (guarana might I guess if it's in Red Bull etc. but), they certainly won't just from being rubbed on your skin.

Pork belly is loving garbage. It's like eating lard straight out of the tub. I went to an eight-course meal and two of the items had pork belly, I left that poo poo on the plate so they can throw it in the loving trash where it belongs.

I don't mind that it's garbage food because sometimes you want garbage food but a friend took me to Misty's Diner and it was nearly $100 for the two of us which is fine-dining prices for what is essentially fast food. I don't understand why these places charge (and get away with charging) such high prices.
