>I never hear of roasted or barbecued pork or any other type of food with pork as a main ingredient in an American context.
Huh? Pulled pork is a staple of American BBQ. Pork chops are pretty common too.
Ham…. pork chops…. pulled pork….. bacon
We average out to about 51 pounds of pork per person per year in the United States. Pork is a common ingredient in many dishes. In fact, my homestate is known for its ham. Pork barbecue is extremely common in most if not the entire South.
I just had bacon in my salad today
Have a pork loin in the freezer
People eat plenty of pork.
Aren’t you that guy who insisted we all hate snails (not as a food, but as a concept) a couple weeks ago? Who is telling you these things about us?
Careful now, you’re talking to a Carolinian 😁
Pork ribs, pulled pork, bratwurst, pork chops, hot dogs (some are beef but pork is most common), Christmas ham, and none of that gets into the regional specialties like tenderloin sandwiches, pork steak, city chicken, pig pickin’ in the Carolinas where they roast a whole damn hog. Hell, Spam is a pork product…
Whose ribs do you think we’re cooking?
Bacon, Boston butt, pulled pork, ribbs. Pork lard is a big thing. Maybe all your sources are Muslim. But I promise you, we use the pig over here
You seem severely misinformed. Pork is very popular in America. Bacon, sausage, pulled pork, pork chop, sandwich meats, etc. it’s consumed en masse on the regular.
Hell, many people consider the hot dog the most quintessential American food, which is made of pork
We don’t?
You have incorrect information.
Huh?
When I go yo the grocery store, the meat section is like 1/3 beef, 1/3 pork, 1/3 chicken. And miscellaneous lamb duck etc as well.
Chicken is the most popular meat here, but we do eat pork. Pork ribs, pork sausages, pulled pork, and pork chops are all staples of American BBQ!
Uh… it’s arguably *the* staple of all American BBQ…
Not only do we have eat a lot of pork, there is a lot of incidental pork in food at restaurants. A lot of things on the menu that appear pork free aren’t.
I eat pork all the time?
That is a wildly inaccurate assumption
Don’t eat pork? We eat the whole damn hog! You haven’t lived till you’ve tried good ol’ fashion Scrapple.
What in the world are you talking about? Pork is one of the three pillars of meat in our country. Beef, pork, and chicken. You go to a barbecue, you’re getting one of those. Pulled pork is made with pork. Hotdogs are made from pork. Tamales are made from pork. Breakfast sausage is made from pork. Bacon is made from pork. Ham is made from pork. We put in on our sandwiches and pizzas and bake big spiral cut ones for Christmas. Luaus and pork roasts and BBQs. We eat crunchy, fried pork rinds (in a variety of brands and flavors!) I’ve got several pounds of pork in my freezer right now. I’m making pork chops tomorrow night. We eat SO. MUCH. PORK. in this country! Seriously, where do you people get these ideas??? And why do you ask your questions as if the thing you’re asserting is true instead of asking IF it’s even true in the first place?
I’m sorry but it doesn’t seem that you are very familiar with American cuisine.
With the exception of ground hamburgers pork is eaten more often than beef in many regions of the United States
Just had pulled pork for dinner tonight. It’s one of our staple meats along with beef and poultry. We eat a lot of it.
Chicken is higest, followed by beef, and then pork as the top 3.
Pork chop, pulled pork, ribs, bacon. All pretty common.
The US is the world’s third largest pork producer and consumer. In terms of value and production of meat in the US, pork is the second largest. Beef is first in value and third in production, and chicken is first in production and third in value (iirc).
We eat thirty kilograms per capital per year. What the hell are you talking about?
Girl, what?
My guy. Barbecue ribs, pulled pork, even whole ass pigs.
Pork is a major staple for American barbecues
Ummmm pork is my favorite type of meat 🤔
This was possibly the funniest time of year to post this because tis the season of BBQ
You are incorrect .
I would love to know where you got this very incorrect impression. We eat pork all the time.
Americans eat pork and lots of it. And not just bacon. Pork is eaten in all regions of the US but this article focuses on pork in southern cuisine.

Bruh what. It is literally near impossible to have Southern food without pork-hell, I’ve eaten parts from a pig you probably wouldn’t even consider food. “Never heard of roasted or barbecued pork” OP I am absolutely fascinated to know what, exactly, you think the barbecue ribs that we have literal regional competitions complete with prize money over, are made from.
Beef is not high end meat. Certain cuts of it are definitely more high end than others, but has less to do with the price of beef overall and more to do with the cut of the meat. Ground hamburger is like, famously, very much a poor person “I have $5 in my bank account and need to feed my kids something til my next check comes in” type of beef. Several regions in the US are known for their cattle farming, so beef is cheap and abundant here-genuinely baffled where you got the idea beef is high end meat here from.
We LOOOVEE pork here in the States- for a very long time, pork was THEE poor person meat. Unless your religion prohibits it or you have some kind of dietary restriction I can promise you that if you’re an American, you eat pork.
Ribs, porkchops, ham, ham hocks, pork rinds, bacon, lard, chitlins, pig’s ears, pulled pork, back bacon, sausage, sausage gravy, hot dogs, pork tenderloin-the hell do you think all that’s made out of? Damn, now I made myself hungry.
What is your problem? How can you use the internet to post this question and fail to use the same internet for an elementary search that would show you that the U.S. is the world’s third largest producer and consumer of pork?
