    These little pulled pork crackers look great! I like Breton crackers, they are sturdy enough to stand up to artichoke dip:) Thanks for sharing your recipes!

    I ALWAYS have leftovers when I make pulled pork. There are only so many time you can eat a pulled pork sandwich and not get sick of it. This is a great idea for something to snack on while watching TV. I love your idea about stuffing it into sweet potatoes too!

    This is a great appetizer recipe. I like the idea of guests assembling the pulled pork crackers themselves. Those crackers sound good. Ancient grains are becoming very popular here in Italy, especially for pasta!
