🌍 Heritage Roots: A Sandwich Loved Across the World

The pulled pork sandwich is a culinary icon with deep roots in American barbecue culture—originating in the American South, where pork shoulders are slow-smoked for hours over hickory or mesquite until fall-apart tender. Traditionally served with slaw on a soft bun and drenched in tangy-sweet sauce, it’s long been a symbol of comfort food and community gatherings. 🍖🔥
