Smoked Pork Sandwiches With Sesame Slaw

   I was in a bind last spring, trying to feed 2 hungry lumberjacks that helped cut trees all day, so, I came up with these Smoked Pork and Sesame Slaw sandwiches from our fridge leftovers and ingredients.  The mixture of the smoky meat, with the kick of the peppery Homemade BBQ sauce, added to the unique flavor brought in by the sesame slaw, which makes this sandwich SO amazing!  And just when you think it might be too rich, the cilantro comes in a freshens things up.  You are gonna LOVE them!
