You may remember, many times whenever they ordered lunch at the office
for meetings (we were lunch meetings meetings all the dang time) it was
catered by Corkey's BBQ. Pulled pork. With cole slaw and some sort of
"hot" pinto beans. I'm convinced they were dished up from an industrial
can and served in trays.

I don't care if the company paid for it. It put me off pulled pork and
"fixin's" for a very long time.

braise.
