    If it takes longer than 90 seconds to cook then it isn't real pizza.

    Check this out.

    @R-L sweet with the meat should be banned.

    What is this utter madness you are jibbering about.. Meat and sweet all day baby!

    Sweet and sour pork? Duck in plum sauce? Lamb tagine? Turkey with Cranberry sauce? List goes on.

    Fucken blergh! What next, apricot chicken? I bet you love that disgusting sweet mint sauce on delicious lamb too you hideous being.

    Apple sauce is great though...in a fucken apple pie!

    GRAVY. That is all.

    Hideous being?

    Sausage and tomato sauce is the limit.

    Roast Pork with apple sauce?

    It's the acidity which makes that marriage work.

    Bit like real life I guess...

    I'm beginning to see I am the sweet to the meat that is the fern... 😔

    @R-L it's all about balance - food obviously; never the fern.

    sour, sweet, salty, spicy, umami. The problem with just adding sweet fruit to a roasted piece of meat is that there is no balance.

    Lot's of people have a pronounced sweet tooth, so for them I guess it's fine. I loathe sweetness (obviously) so I only like a pairing of fruit with meat when the fruit brings an acidity to balance the fattiness. So yes to pomegranate molasses but no to plum sauce etc.

    @dogmeat yeah I'm the same, not big on sweet food at all. Which sucks turning up to client sites over here when they put on a morning tea spread that's all pastries, biscuits, etc and then a lunch spread which is mostly pastries, biscuits, etc...

    I rarely eat puddings/desserts, I'm way more savoury than sweet but a combo like pork and apple is just right.
    Maple Syrup on bacon..... Big no. Even some honey glazed ham can be too sickly for me. It seems to be fruit variations with meat that I am a fan of. Everything has its place.

    Pichana

    spot on fella. Smoked up a whole 13kg brisket at the weekend; 24 hours of cooking, and now I'm drowning in saturated fat. Totally worth it 🙂

    I think those hit the upload size limit. Try again, I've increased it slightly

    @Duluth thanks, I just reduced file sizes, hopefully doesn't bang into resolution limits.

    erg, image dimensions are too big. Any suggestions on how else I could share? I'd use my google album, but don't want internet strangers knowing where I live 🙂

    OK, resized them now too, as well as doing resolution change. Had to dip into Irfanview
