Pulled pork vs chopped pork?

[Cattoon]

Normally when I do pork butt I separate the muscle groups and then chop/slice across the grain into 1/2” or so thickness. I prefer this to shredded or pulled pork. Anyone else have a preference for pulled vs chopped?

I prefer pulled but most of the old school BBQ joints down here have always done chopped. Love hearing the dual cleavers hitting the cutting board in rhythm.

I like both. Depends on what I want as the end result.

I like both too . I really like beef chopped over shredded , for sandwiches .

 

[ajbert]

Pulled for me.

I do pulled but I feel like chopped means the pork or beef wasn't tender enough to shred.

A vote for pulled here

I like both. I don't chop because IMO that isn't something I want to do in my kitchen. Outside - I'll chop all day long.

Chopped whole hog is mighty hard to beat.

It goes by muscle groups or me. Deep down inside I love a pile of pulled with cole slaw and East Carolina sauce on a big A bun. but, depending on the cut of the butt I'll actually sperate the money muscle and slice with a knife for plate or sandwiches. I really depends on the size and the efficiency of the butcher and muscle groups after cooking.
