So what is North Carolina's most iconic sandwich?
Pulled Pork
According to the list, pulled pork is the most iconic type of sandwich in North Carolina, and given the state's barbecue reputation, that shouldn't come as a surprise!
Here's what 24/7 Wall St. had to say:
"North Carolina has its own style of barbecue and pulled pork is a prime example. Considered the oldest form of barbecue in the U.S., the pork is rubbed with a spice mixture before it's smoked atop oak or hickory wood. During smoking, the meat is slathered with a spice and vinegar liquid. The meat is then pulled, chopped, or shredded and heaped on a bun or between slices of white bread."
