If you had to pick one or the other to have for the 4th, which would you go with?

 

I'd be satisfied with either one, but I'll pick Pulled Pork.

Always brisket.

I know that the big names in barbecue and the pitmasters of the world all say good brisket beats good pulled pork, but I literally mean it when I say that I've never had any barbecued brisket that I prefer to barbecued pork. And that's not for lack of trying it either...

 

Pulled pork for me.

We gotta get you some better brisket then.

The best brisket I’ve ever had definitely trumps the best pulled pork I’ve had. Great brisket is hard to beat. I’ve also had really bad brisket. It’s really hard to screw up pulled pork. I’d have to lean Brisket, but it’s a pretty close race.

Brisket. Brisket though, is much easier to screw up when cooking, and takes a lot of time and attention to cook. There is no just ok brisket. It’s either really good, or really bad. Pulled pork is much easier to cook and while I do like it and don’t think I’ve ever had bad pulled pork, it doesn’t compare to good brisket.

Agreed.

Brisket done right > pulled pork done right.

Same here.

Always brisket.

 

Absolutely. Not sure how this poll can even be close.

Brisket alone for the flavor. Pulled pork depends on the prep and sauce. If both were sitting side by side, I'll go for the brisket.

Ribs.

For the 4th, to honor this country in the manner it deserves, calls for pre-planning and quality brisket. For the ordinary summer backyard BBQ, pulled pork.

I'm with you CWB.

 

Someone tell me where to find brisket that will change my mind. Until it is proven otherwise to me, pulled pork and it isn't close.

I third the motion.
