This doesn’t make any sense. It’s ripped to shreds BECAUSE it’s so tender that it’s just too damn easy to do

and then slathered in some sauce to cover the taste.

Have you ever had a freshly pulled piece of pork butt after it’s rested for a little while? My God is fantastic. Sweetness from the rub and sweet vinegar mop sauce (that you quit putting on a few hours before finishing it) and from pork’s natural sweetness. Savory from that tender, succulent pork shoulder. frick it’s good.

I personally like pepper vinegar sauce on the side so I can can dip it, but it absolutely doesn’t need it. Saying pulled pork needs pepper vinegar to taste good is like saying brisket needs sauce to be juicy
