Eastern NC barbecue. AKA "Pig Pickin'"

An Eastern North Carolina baste is usually a very light vinegar based sauce with red pepper flakes, and Western North Carolina barbecue uses sauce with a ketchup base similar to traditional barbecue sauce.
When the cooking is complete, the meat should ideally be tender to the point of falling off of the bone. The meat is then either chopped or pulled into traditional Carolina-style pork barbecue or it is picked off the hog itself by the guests. It is from the latter that the gathering gains its name. The barbecue is most sometimes eaten with hushpuppies (fried cornmeal, occasionally flavored with onions), coleslaw, Baked beans or sometimes Brunswick stew.
