Cochon de Lait Po Boy at Jazz Fest Question
Posted on 5/7/12 at 2:59 pm
Posted on 5/7/12 at 2:59 pm
I had one this past weekend and I want to know what kind of sauce was that on it? I think I can pretty much figure out how to do the meat (recipes that are pretty consistent are on line). But, the cole slaw and the sauce provided a sweet, yet tangy taste that really added to the sandwich.
It was amazing by the way and I want to try to do it.
Any suggestions? I can try to reverse engineer it, but am not sure how close I will get to the actual thing.

Does that still come on a sesame seed bun?

No, French Bread pistolete.
The sauce was good, sweet but tangy. It wasn't mustardy at all.

I thought the bread was the worst thing about the poboy. The pork and slaw is very tasty, but the bread is a whole lot of meh.

I don't know what was in it but I thought the whole thing was awesome.

Good grief, the whole thing was awesome.
So far, we have criticisms of the sauce AND the bread. But, every bite was really good to me.
Again, any suggestions on the actual sauce and the coleslaw? It accented the seasoned meat really well.

Sorry, it's a travesty to call a sandwich with that terrible bread a poboy. Would be better on a hotdog bun.

No.

Generally the slaw in Carolina(which I think the po-boy is a derivation of) style sandwiches is a vinegar/mayo based sauce. Mayo, pepper, bit of sugar, and vinegar in fact. The acidity from the vinegar works in the same manner as in seviche and starts to break down the cabbage and other parts a bit.

Ok, admittedly, it was not the best french bread that I've ever had. Now that you mention it, I was a little disappointed in the bread. But, it was serviceable and since I was standing up in the middle of the Fairgrounds in 90 degree heat, I really didn't pay a lot of attention to the bread. It didn't get in the way, in my opinion.
Still really curious about the cole slaw and sauce, though. I could make the cole slaw kind of sweet and tangy and just skip the sauce altogether and kill two birds with one stone,

This article is from 2008. This quote made me chuckle.
LINK This says it is Creole mustard. I definitely tasted that.

"I've used every bread in the city!" she said, laughing. Her favorite bread vendor, the Vietnamese bakery Dong Phuong, had to double its price, she said, and she is determined to keep her po-boys at $5 apiece, so she cannot pass along the increase. Other bakeries, including Leidenheimer's and Binder's, had given her bids.

I was tasting that too but that's because I put on some of the horseradish sauce from the duck poboy people.
