I always top my pulled pork sammies with my vinegar slaw. It's very wet, so it's not lacking vinegar and works very well with pork... especially for peeps who say they don't like vinegar slaw, or slaw period. It's very bright and has that zing that you're talking about. -

On a seperate note, glad to hear that you have hit the mark that you were shooting for with the pork.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -

Here's that recipe Cen Tex
1 cup distilled vinegar
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup apple juice
1tsp hot sauce
1tsp crushed red pepper
1tsp ground black pepper
1/2 Tbsp salt
3 tbsp light brown sugar.
Mix and store.
It's killer on chicken too.

I like this mustard vinegar on pork. It also is kicka$$ on wings as a finish sauce.

I'm partial to Eastern style mop. Mostly because my body wouldn't be found if my family found out I used the weird stuff from Lexington.

My simplistic understanding has been that you need some acid to cut the "richness" and make the flavors shine, hence vinegar sauce or slaw for stuff like PP or sometimes brisket. And A-1 for wagyu... just kidding.
Thai food gets this right (IMO) i.e. balancing flavors like salt, sweet, heat, and acid/sour. A well-made papaya salad is the perfect example, and when done right, the balance of flavors is spectacular. But most places don't get it right.
I usually make slaw with green apples and apple cider vinegar to go with pulled pork, but now will try just adding vinegar and see what happens. Pulled pork is usually on the menu when I need to feed a crowd, so don't make it much for just us. That may be about to change.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
I use a variant of Myron Mixon's recipe. I run up against another Wilma Food Challenge here. (Trust me, she has many food challenges). She's not fond of vinegar, so I take some pp in a bowl and add my sauce to that for me and one of my girls. I've never had a mustard based sauce. Gonna have to give it a whirl.Flint, Michigan

My taste tends toward Eastern North Carolina style. I don't want to cover the meat with a tomato based sauce and mask the smoky goodness. I came across this recipe a few years ago from, of all places, Allrecipes.com.
It's what I use now religiously. Another thing that kicks PP up a notch is the slaw. At Bridges, in Shelby, they have a red slaw which is vinegar based. The combo of this slaw with their PP is outstanding.Charlotte, NC

Be interesting to see the verdict after y'all Texas boys toured North Carolina. I doubt we would see any true conversions, but I'll bet you would gain a new appreciation for Carolina barbecue. And don't forget the hushpuppies.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Sooo.... 1185 miles to @JohnInCarolina 's lab. About 17 hrs driving. And a much shorter flight. If I take some days off in the first half of April 2018, this could potentially happen.

Thank you for this post Cazzy and for all who contributed. I tried the shark attack sauce and don't reckon I will pull a shoulder without saucing it in the future. It made the meal.

Boy did I once again learn something from this great site. I have cooked pork shoulders many times but have never added vinegar sauce before. I do love the taste of it. I cannot wait to try both sauces next time I cook shoulders. Thanks once again for teaching me how to be a better cook!Large BGE
