Pig revisited for pulled pork poutine

Well, it's definitely not our first time to Pig restaurant for their pulled pork, nor will it be our last. The pulled pork at Pig sets the bar of competition for all pulled porks in Victoria... so why not pulled pork poutine while we're at it! Pulled pork -- good; poutine -- good; pulled pork + poutine must = good x 2?

So what did we think of it?

Well, the pulled pork as always is incredibly moist and full of homemade flavour. The pork itself falls apart on itself and is easy to shred. Soaked in its own gravy and lathered on top of mozzarella cheese curds and freshly fried fries (say that 3 times fast) and you've got yourselves a decadent pulled pork poutine! The juices flow from the pork and completely cover the french fries, however, not to the point where they are overly soggy unless you happen to leave it untouched for too long. However, as one might expect, putting a salty topping on top of salty fries will lead to extra saltiness. In our case, it did come out a bit much on the salty side hence why we decided to counter-balance our taste buds with a cold refrigerated old-fashioned cream soda. Ahhh, that hit the spot. Anyhow, even though the filling snack was a bit saltier as expected, we finished it all in rapid order and were fully warmed up on a brisk, cold evening. We'd do it again, but make sure you're ready for the sodium chloride.
