Having been born and raised in Alabama, and lived in Texas for almost 40 years, I have to disagree about the Alabama listing.
Alabama is all about a good sliced pork sandwich, with tender meat and a crunchy ‘bark’ on the outside, also aptly as ‘outside meat’, and a tomato-based sauce.
When we first moved to Houston in 1978 and I ordered a sliced pork sandwich, they gave me ‘HAM’!
