Porchetta

Porchetta was introduced to the USA by Italian immigrants of the early 20th century, and is sometimes referred to as "Italian pulled pork". It is in many places served on a sandwich with greens (broccoli raab or spinach) and -- controversially -- provolone cheese. Porchetta is also very popular in Southern Ontario (in areas such as Toronto, Hamilton and St. Catharines) and the term "porchetta" is widely used by Italian-Canadians, instead of simply "roast pork". In Sudbury, Ontario, the slang expression for porchetta is "the greasy beast" referring to the high quantities of grease in the pork.
