Pulled pork - my first attempt.






































During my travels in America and Mexico I came across pulled pork on numerous occasions, it's something that I haven't seen much of in Scotland and certainly not in Aberdeen - which is 20 years behind every where else in the foodie world!
After searching online for recipes of which there are a lot, I went for a cross between a traditional pulled pork recipe and a cochninita pibil recipe from mexico.
The one thing I did notice was that these recipes use cuts of meat called pork butt which translates to pork shoulder in Scottish - something I found strange since shoulder and arse are no where near each other!
The pork was bought from Andrew Gordon Butchers and it was some hunk of meat!

Once the meat was cooked I decided to stick with the more mexican serving and we had tortillas, salsa, guacamole, sour cream and cheese - it was delicious even if I do say so myself.

Sunday 4th April - Roast Pork Rolls



Sunday when I was traveling back up from Edinburgh, needing a liver transplant and yet still drinking - well the weekend wasn't actually over - Richard was cooking a lovely leg of pork. Which he shredded up and we had in rolls with the usually bunch of Rocket. Not quite a roast dinner but it hit the spot and we accompanied it with even more wine.
