My friend, what should I cook next? Have you been enjoying this cooking series? Thank you! 😊

[@redcarcinogenic4941]

Try biscuits and gravy (Sausage country gravy) and hashbrowns

[@TheZombieTurtleWhisper]

try making oven-baked ribs or Boston baked beans with cornbread

[@jameslambert7666]

Make American pot of chili with crackers

[@tonygunk9810]

smores

[@user-dc6ut5uu3t]

Do you guys cook meatloaf or chicken pot pie in Portugal? They are American favorites. That pulled pork sandwich looked awesome.

[@ricklionberger361]

Andre, you should share some Portuguese dishes with us. Most Americans know little of your country and would like to know. Also, my wife and I always stay to the end!

[@european-reacts]

Yes sir 🙏

[@trannigan3349]

[@nanadeborah8717]

I agree with teaching us some Portuguese recipes. I don't know anyone who doesn't love pulled pork. Now I'm hungry for it and coleslaw. Guess I'll have to start one tomorrow. Love to watch you react and loved your wife's reaction. She's getting more comfortable being on video. I think this one she really loved. Happy baby sounds always make everything better!

[@daricetaylor737]

Andre'!!! You keep knocking it out of the park!! You can take the extra meat and put them into ziplock bags in 1 or 2 sandwich portions and freeze them. Then when you have a hankering for one, you take it out, place the baggie into hot water to thaw out and you have your dinner in a snap! I cannot get over how well you are doing with your cooking skills!

Great job on the BBQ. Your enthusiasm really makes it fun to watch. I hope you and your wife enjoy your food exploration.

[@DeniseCampbell-g7l]

When my youngest son was married on a ranch, the rehearsal dinner meal was a whole smoked pig, cooked in a pit and served as pulled pork. The leftovers were frozen and a year later we are still enjoying smoked pulled pork. Hawaiians also cook a wonderful pit pork. Bake a large potato, split open and add butter sour cream, pulled pork, barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese; with a sprinkle of green onions. Also used to make great tacos, and added when cooking pinto beans.

[@Fettman89]

Man, you really are a natural in the kitchen Andre, Going from Deviled Eggs to a legit pulled pork sandwich in such a short span of time is really amazing.

[@DolaPrice]

Brisket and pulled pork are often made for special occasions because of the amount of preparation. They themselves are an event! Your wife is a lucky woman.

[@BasedVidya]

It's also good because it is relatively cheap to feed a large amount of people

Special occasion? I guess. I mean here in Virginia, we make it pretty regularly once the weather warms up.

My cousin has a birthday near the end of July. When he tried a pulled pork i had done during a random visit of his, he just asked if he could have one as a birthday present. So for over six years now i have made pulled pork for him. He and his family usually destroy it in three days. My father used to receive requests for homemade oatmeal cookies as a birthday present. Almost reached 20 people annually. ​@@peachykeen7634

[@alexmoffitt8063]

@@peachykeen7634 I think the difference I noticed between the people who only do it at special occasions and the ones who make it more often is usually the ones who make it more often, their mama can do a damn good job too. Whereas, if it’s a special thing for y’all, it’s probably more daddy’s thing and for most families he’d be working a lot.

BRAVO! YES! Putting slaw on a BBQ pulled pork sandwich is VERY POPULAR! Slaw on top of BBQ pork is the way my Mother liked her sandwichs! I am happy you did that Andre!

[@cynthiapedroso7554]

My wife is a master chef and we live in Alabama. She says she is VERY proud of you! I am too!! I’ve been subscribed to your channel and I give a like every time I stop by. GREAT JOB MY FRIEND!! Always a pleasure. You did that pulled pork perfectly!

[@iDuckman]

For non-butchers, the pork 'butt' (Boston butt) is NOT the back end of the pig. It's the shoulder. It's complex and hard to carve so slow-cooking and pulling the meat apart is perfect. So delicious! Sliced raw cabbage adds so much texture and freshness to the sandwich. Cole slaw is good too. NO BBQ SAUCE, just the reduced juice. Ciabatta roll is perfect and stands up to the wet.

[@brittc3924]

Her eyes rolled in the back of her head!! 😂 priceless!! She is beautiful Andre!!

[@PaleHorseO.o]

Yay! I am from North Carolina, and pulled pork here is king. Ready to see you absolutely ace this recipe as well.

[@PaleHorseO.o]

You should have added green bell pepper. Green bell pepper if you cant use a smoker provides the kind of flavor smoke does. I have had many people ask me how I make my pulled pork sandwiches. Maybe you can try it on your own time. I just add diced onion, diced green bell peppers, and sweet baby rays bbq sauce. You can add minced garlic if you want.

[@PaleHorseO.o]

also maybe put american cheese and pickle extra sauce on toasted bun.

[@Rogue_Centurion]

I’ve never seen something quite like a North Carolina BBQ

[@TheAsches]

It's hilarious asking for a bbq sandwich in northern states with slaw on it. The level of confusion reaches 15 real fast. 🤣

[@Dead_Goat]

Lived in NC for 15 years now, NC ruins pulled pork. PUlled pork is some of the best bbq you can have and NC absolutely takes poo on it with their vinegar mustard sauces and dry pork.

[@cynthiamgrooms8195]

You not only Killed it Andre-You knocked it outa the park!!! Congratulations on making 2 dishes, too many Americans have been too afraid to try themselves!!! Now you just need to do it again for some company aka small party!!!🥰

[@protorhinocerator142]

Also if the pork won't fit into that pot, cut it up some and throw it in. You're going to shred it all later anyway. It doesn't need to be cooked in one whole piece.

[@bethlovcy1276]

In the US, we have something called liquid smoke. For those of us elderly, it is added to slow cooker, Insta pot, or braised meat to giving a smoky flavor. It is extremely strong so discretion is necessary. I use it to make Kalua pork. Not authentic but gets me close. I am 75 and my husband 77 with severe health issues. It will be the closest we get, !ol

[@gayleroberts-stewart3016]

Andre, I have thought about suggesting Wright's Liquid Smoke many times. Hickory smoke flavor. POTENT, start with 2 ml, taste and add more cautiously.

[@judyhuurman1237]

@@gayleroberts-stewart3016 You should send it to him, With instructions.🤣

[@EJ1578]

Absolutely. Especially if you are not able to cook in a smoker, liquid smoke is a must do. As mentioned by others, be very careful how much liquid smoke you use. It is a very strong flavor.

[@AnneBiebrich]

Yes liquid smoke is great!

[@jimstrickland5842]

I'm a senior also now I have to use Liquid Smoke or Hickory Smoked Salt sometimes both. Ahh how I miss the days of youth and could be part of a Barbeque Team again.

[@barryjamesbugarin5736]

Andre, My Friend! You are one of the most joyful people on all of youtube! Maybe even the entire internet! That's probably the reason why we all love you so much. Of course, we Americans love that you love America, but the joy you bring to it is what really touches our hearts! You are a living breathing conduit of American power! By the way, I know for sure that that sandwich is delicious, maybe even a 10 out of 10. But if you actually buy a smoker, your tastebuds will never ever be the same! Much love from Florida, My Friend! EDIT: I'm totally sure that a whole bunch of us out here would love for you to actually share some Portuguese recipes! EDIT #2: Sarah makes every show even better!

[@Lawni]

That pulled pork looks great. Using the juices is absolutely the correct thing to do. If you put them in the refrigerator overnight, all the fat will come to the top, which you can remove, and toss out, or, use it to cook things like eggs or vegetables in. The liquid you can then put in a pot, and reduce down into a sauce that is better on the pork than any barbecue sauce.

[@Angi_Mathochist]

Yeah, I would say just mix enough in with the pork to make it a nice moist consistency, but not drippy. Then store the rest. Use some for dipping juice for your first sandwiches and then take the fat off the top of the rest tomorrow and use the fat for cooking and the juice for sandwich dipping or flavoring gravies or soups or whatever you're making in the next few days.

[@deborahwilliamson2173]

Andre, you are on your way to becoming a professional chef. Your wife seems to have such a sweet nature, and she is lucky that you love to cook. Now, it's time for you to show us some Portuguese recipes, if you don't mind. What main dishes do you make with beef, pork, chicken, and fish? Are there dishes similar to what we have here in America? Whatever your next video is, I'll be watching as always.

[@KarenMoore-p6r]

The more I watch you the more I love your videos. :) I think you are now an honorary American for the love of all of the American's you show the love to.

[@SaraBearRawr0312]

Andre, I am from the state of North Carolina, arguably the state most associated with pulled pork, often simply called Bar-B-Que or BBQ here (we know that this is also the name of a whole range of foods and how they are cooked, but we still simply refer to it as such). We take deep pride in our BBQ culture. There is a deep and rich history of pulled pork that runs through our veins and though we have rivalries over who makes it the best, we all love to sit down and enjoy a good sandwich just as you did and I am happy to say that yours looked fantastic - outside of a bit more charring that happens during the grilling process, your dish turned out like a picture-perfect example and looked like a sandwich I would get from a family-owned restaurant with decades of experience. The slaw also looks really good but you can adjust it however you would like because as simple as slaw may seem, there are many varieties and styles preferred by all - some like it creamier, some like it with more vinegar; some chop it much finer while others like it chopped large as you did. We even have an almost entirely vinegar based version which is commonly paired with fish which may go well with some of your Portuguese seafood dishes. Now you just need to pair this with some Potato Salad and something we call hush puppies which are little pieces of deep-fried corn batter and similar to your Croquetes but with no meat inside, somewhat similar to Falafel.

[@cali2AZgrace]

this is probably THE BEST cooking video you’ve done so far 🥰 it’s a dinner & comedy show, a market & quick town tour and all around good time… you have outdone yourself, chef andre!!

[@wulfwalker2514]

I'm all about the coleslaw on my pulled pork sandwich. The crunch and slight acidity of the vinegar complement the softness and slight sweetness and fattiness of the pork.

[@scottwillcockson6089]

Andre I'm seriously so happy you tried the pulled pork, and you should be proud of yourself, you did a great job! And absolutely you did the right thing by combining everything and making everything as flavorful as possible!

[@Gaeilgeoir]

André, you're making me so hungry!!! 😂😂 Well done!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@falconlore9666]

The juice left in the pot is called the liquor and you use some it on the shredded pork when storing it. You can also use it to make a gravy to used with mashed potatoes or as a dip like you did. BTW the only thing your sandwich was missing was some pickles.

[@screwylooygaming]

The pulled pork sandwich with the coleslaw on it is the grande finale. It really doesn't get much better. Especially dipped in the cooking juices. Sharing with people is what this type of food is all about. Appreciate seeing your wife's enjoyment of your hard work.

[@wonderbubbles4092]

As an American I can say that you are a very good cook. I really appreciate that you take the time to do your research and cook the food properly.

[@SilverbladeDagger]

As was the slogan for old Hardees commercials back in the day, "If it doesn't go all over the place, it doesn't belong in your face"! I make pulled pork all the time, and my family loves it. All I do is get the pork butt or shoulder and book in a crock pot till it comes apart like yours did. I rake it with forks, and then I put on a few big squirts of Sweet Baby Ray's Smoked Hickory and Brown Sugar BBQ sauce. Just keep raking and when the sauce isn't covering the meat, add more. Put in enough so that every bite possible is coated in BBQ sauce. Then I just fork it onto hamburger buns or bread and eat as is. The leftovers, if there are any, I tend to put in goulash, casseroles with potatoes (I make a variation of Shepherds' Pie with it), or even macaroni and cheese for that added punch. Very versatile, always delicious!

[@joyouslyprofane]

you did a great job with this! as good as american pulled pork is, i do have to give props to portuguese caçoila. idk if that's just an Azores thing but we have a huge Azorean population in my city of New Bedford and i feel like the rest of the US is missing out on how good portuguese food is

[@JJlovesPrince]

Right before you mentioned that you research the recipes first, I was thinking about how much I appreciate that you looked into the recipe before cooking it! Then, you did the most American thing by dipping the sandwich in the juice. So great!!!!

[@Quest723The]

Excellent trial run. - After you shred the pork, put it in a shallow dish, pour as much of the jus from the cook into it as you want. Get it sopping wet if you want, the bread will just soak it up anyway. When cold, will get waxy, when reheated, will be juicy again. - Look up "Big Three" BBQ sauces. Tomato, Vinegar Pepper, and (best) Mustard. - Try Yellow Mustard, Honey, Liquid smoke (very little). garlic powder, (+experiment with what you like) - Liquid smoke is good, but better to use in sauce than meat if not using a smoker. If you mess up, sauce is gone, not meat. Some very good BBQ only put smoke in sauce, bake meat. Smoker not necessary for "good," is better but can cheat with oven. - Take your shredded pork, put in bowl. Add your favorite BBQ sauce (Mustard) and mix thoroughly. Fully flavored BBQ, no need to spoon pig juice over top. - Put your BBQ sauce container on lid so it is ready to dispense, not upright like heathen.

[@SalLeeHolland]

My neighbor's Portuguese, but didn't know how to cook their food, and we wanted the real deal. So I helped her drive to her Aunts home in Rhode Island an 8 hour 16 minute drive (535.2 milles). We learned how to cook some things there. Also went to some stores where we could buy some food. The best thing was the home made rolls and bread! It melted in your mouth! I really enjoy your trying different American foods. We really like flavor. I was glad to see you got a Dutch Oven. It is great isn't it. The only thing I do different with the pulled pork sandwich is to put the BBQ sauce in with the meat before you put it on the sandwich. Not on the bottom of the roll. Even if you just make sure you mix it in one sandwich, you want that flavor through out the sandwich. I was thrilled you added the coleslaw on top, many people don't add it, and it really makes the sandwich! If you can't use the broth right away put it in the freezer, just remember to have a couple inches at the top as liquid will swell a little, and could pop the lid off. Thaw it the day before you will use it. Never throw it out! Also save the bone with the broth, or just put it in a bag to make your own broth later or soups. Gives it more depth of flavor. When the soup is ready you can take the bone out and toss it then. I really enjoy your videos, you learn fast, and don't back off from something that takes more work. Many Americans won't even try! They just buy it already made. However, with Covid, I think many are starting to cook again. Blessings from Western, N.Y.

[@pyrotect3305]

Hey Andre, I am both proud and jealous of you. Proud for embracing the american spirit of "that's cool, let me try it". And you did a professional job with it being your first pork butt and being first time with a Dutch oven. I'm jealous of your first time trying pulled pork. I have been eating it for years but I almost always enjoy it like the first time. Also great job with the "slaw". Depending on your tastes you can add alot to it. More mayo (good choice with the Hellmann's, only one better is Dukes) to make it creamer, less mayo/vinegar and add raisins for a sweeter, and a little mustard and pickled jalapeños juice to make "hot slaw" ( MO, TN, SC,KY), it's a local verity. Thank you for your always upbeat, inclusive, and respectful content. It is a great way for me to start my day while drinking my morning coffee. Lastly. MANY MANY people have many many opinions on what is the best smoker and here is mine. Although fire based smoking is "taster" with your limited space and need to "do it right" look at a mid size electric smoker with a chip tray. They help to take out ALOT of the beginners mistakes, keeps the heat regulated better, can easily be moved around or transported to a party, and are much easier to both monitor and master. PLUS since you are "the only one" doing that around you expect many people to be drawn to the smell, wanting you to make them one, or always being asked to bring to a party, so you can get some "cheap tools" that will mostly allow you to "set it up and walk away"

Food shared between cultures was my favorite part of my 21 years in the US Army (other than meeting my Honduran wife of 20 years and having our children). I’m an American who’s moms side immigrated from Italy and my dads side was from backwoods Tennessee, I’ve lived all around the world during my service and got to meet so many amazing people, food was always the glue. I remember marching through the mountains in Korea and coming across a Buddhist Temple, they all came out and had us in for lunch when I was 18 years old. Many other similar stories and am currently 45, we love mixing a little bite of everything people have shared with us in cooking and there is always something new to try❤ its really hard to not get along when you are stuffing yourself with good food. God bless you and your family brother❤

[@sarcazen3171]

Thank you for not skipping any steps! North Carolina approved! It might take time, but it gives you days and days of food. You can put the meat back into the juice and use tongs to scoop it up and onto your bread. Keeps it juicy until you store it. Also, we use a slow cooker, which requires a heck of a lot less basting - if you want a short cut for next time.

@@snakeandnape9252 Never have I seen it in the store in my region

[@tommc3622]

I agree. Many swear by Dukes, but I'm a Hellmans/Best Foods guy myself. Cabbage, onion, salt and pepper, and a quality mayo are all that is needed for crazy good slaw in the right hands.

I was just wishing for a cooking video! This brightened my day. My favorite way to eat pulled pork is on sliders made with the pork on a Hawaiian roll, topped with grilled pineapple, and a tropical style slaw. I think next you should make several versions of potato salad, by asking viewers for their family recipes because there are so many different ways people make it. Or an idea for something sweet you could make banana bread.

Oh, I would love to watch you learn to make barbecue! The Portuguese Pit-master

[@debbers]

Andre, it was wonderful to watch you having so much fun making this American dish! Now I've got to make some pulled pork, thank you for making this so now I will make it!

[@catherinejones5807]

Andre, your hard work really paid off. You nailed the pulled pork recipe. The more you make it, the easier it will become. When you eventually get a proper smoker, you will have even more fun with the flavors. Talk to the Mr. H and Friends folks. They were able to get a couple of American style smokers from a dealer in the UK. They also spent some time learning about American BBQ from some famous pit masters and chefs including Kent Rollins while traveling in the USA. You might want to do some collaboration videos with them on American BBQ.

[@revgurley]

It's amazing that you're making things from scratch! I love a pulled pork sandwich, but I'm so used to going to a BBQ restaurant, I'll just pop over there. But when you don't have that option, you make it yourself. WOW!

[@crazyscarecrow8136]

I love seeing your enthusiasm for our food. Pulled pork sandwiches are fantastic, and you did it just right!

[@manxkin]

Every day is a special day with you André. Well done! Bravo!

[@Gregory7518]

Your face when you tried the sandwich with the slaw on it is what I call a food-gasm. Glad you enjoyed it. Now on to brisket.

[@DeannaAKADeanna]

WOW! You went the whole mile. I love having a smoker and learned why people will put so much time and love to try and do an animal some justice for feeding us (before I finally quit all animal products). I also spent my younger years near our Gulf of Mexico coast, west of the Mississippi River eating some wonderful grandmother-cooked versions of some of your favorites (and some incredible Texas barbecue). Hickory smoke and wonderful brown sugar (in your case a bit of molasses and caster or white or raw sugar would work with chopped ginger, onions, spiced with some cracked peppercorns & star anise; stuff with quartered oranges and coat with olive oil and a little toasted sesame seed oil) brine made the best by far (small) turkeys (for Thanksgiving) I've ever eaten. Yeah, smoking meat changes the brain. LOL Great job, fun video! Now I'll have to pick up a can of jackfruit and some smoky Texas type barbecue sauce and vegan brioche or the like. Just kidding! That was impressive!

[@britt1784]

Wow you caught me off guard with that Canada joke! 😅😅😅

[@DianeCasanova]

Cole slaw can be eaten as a side dish with the pulled pork.

[@awskopw5767]

Watching your cooking videos always make me hungry and leave me wanting whatever you just made. And your pulled pork recipe was completely on point, right down to the Hellman's mayo (whether intentional or not, you chose THE best mayo brand). If I could offer a few suggestions for next time... (1) For a slightly different flavor profile, you can substitute the beer for a can of cola, dr pepper, or root beer. (2) You could reduce the meat jus and mix some of it back into your meat. (3) You could mix a splash of lemon juice and/or meat jus to your bbq sauce for even more flavor. (4) You could add some julienned apple and poppy seeds to your coleslaw. Even without these suggestions, you did an amazing job. Keep it up!

[@BattleChemist]

Excellent job, Andre! I have had many BBQ Pork sandwiches that look just like those in my life here in the States. That one with the coleslaw looked fantastic! Lovely wife getting in there and eating the sloppy sandwich along with two thumbs up earns this American's LIKE.

[@martinkenealy2306]

You have a vibrant American spirit my friend. This is all great.

[@brendahyslop6770]

I could not have cooked it any better! BRAVO Andre, you made a very special recipe that is near and dear to most American's hearts. Job well done, thanks for bringing us along to watch. Bless you and your family!

[@mildredpierce4506]

Our European friend Andre makes cooking videos worth watching. I just came from a different European who had a lot of negative comments so I didn’t even bother to watch their cooking video.

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

Looks fantastic. Meat and patience make for many happy meals. Really, the wait is always worth it because the food tastes amazing.

[@amicooke1790]

Andre, I LOVE that your enthsiasm and effort have compelled other KZbinrs to get out of their comfort zone and take a shot at cooking! You're crushing it, my friend!

[@paulmenard6219]

Green Apple in that slaw will make a huge world of difference. It compliments the pork really well and the tart and crisp goes very well with the texture. Personally, I would put some Diced jalapeños in there as well, but I enjoy heat.

[@TrevorJuve]

The BEST part of a pulled pork sandwich is absolutely DROWNING it in ludicrous amounts of barbecue sauce.

[@gayleroberts-stewart3016]

My criterion...if you don't end up with slaw in your hair and BBQ sauce in your ears, you need more of both😂

[@TrevorJuve]

@gayleroberts-stewart3016 Amen, brother.

[@Chuck_Huckler]

For me, it's gotta be sweet baby ray's, either honey or original flavor. The sweetness of that sauce with the heat and smoky flavor of the meat hits all the right spots...

[@gayleroberts-stewart3016]

@@TrevorJuve I hope you all can get Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce where you are. You may have a favorite, but I guarantee you will like this, too.🌻

[@patrickryan7400]

I like that style as well, but when I fully smoke my pork shoulder I find it needs very little bbq sauce or even none at all . I do mix in the drippings after I remover the fat that keeps it super moist.

[@sljallen]

Thank you Andre for doing so much research into the recipes you make. That's why they turn out so delicious!. The pulled pork looks absolutely delicious. It looks exactly like we make it. Enjoy.
