As for taste and texture, my slow-cooked pork was as good as, while slightly different from, Wilber's smokehouse pork. I will no longer feel I am missing out on anything when I make pulled pork "barbecue" here in Saint-Aignan.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-61932754296658948702017-10-27T04:31:52.067+02:002017-10-27T04:31:52.067+02:00I've seen the Scott's sauce in the grocery...I've seen the Scott's sauce in the grocery store.<br />However the taste test worked out, in the side-by-side picture, yours has (to me) a more pleasing color.Emmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365143273404503659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-58420378038373045662017-10-26T15:07:59.027+02:002017-10-26T15:07:59.027+02:00As I said, I knew it was not a problem to bring me...As I said, I knew it was not a problem to bring meat or fresh vegetables into France.

Is that the difference between American and French pork?

We were not aware of an actual dish called <i>barbecue</i>. When we were moving to St. Louis, and stopped to see a friend of my dad's, in Indiana, they made us "Barbecue Sandwiches". It was this (but not with the NC style sauce). I had never had it before!<br />Judy<br /><br />Seine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-86568693860395756932017-10-26T12:32:22.234+02:002017-10-26T12:32:22.234+02:00Think rillettes with spices and less fat.
