Is it possible to use a pork loin for pulled pork? If not, can you recommend a good pork loin sandwich recipe?
I have all of the ingredients to feed a large crowd this evening with pulled pork sandwiches but my lovely husband showed up with pork loin. We're in a remote area so returning to the store isn't an option. Help!

Now, don't let your husband do the grocery shopping anymore:):)
Happygoin is right. Find someone else to do your grocery shopping. Pork shoulder and pork tenderloin are pretty much the polar opposites of pork cuts (there's also on different sides of the carcass).
I'm glad to hear everything ended all right. Clearly consulting this Q&A forum before you proceeded averted an expensive disaster (since tenderloin is WAY more expensive than shoulder).
I might roast it, slice it thin and make Cuban pork sandwiches. A much better bet!
