The foundational food of Raleigh and the NC Piedmont: an entire hog cooked low and slow over wood coals for 12 to 18 hours, the meat pulled and mixed with vinegar and red-pepper sauce only - no tomato, no sugar. The result is smoky, acidic, and distinctly North Carolinian. This is the vinegar tradition that separates Eastern NC from Piedmont (Lexington) style; the pulled pork plate with coleslaw and hush puppies is the canonical meal.
