@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.

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.

It's 10:53 AM and I am already salivating at the thought of cooking Pichana tonight.

I think it is my favourite way of any beef now. Haven't had it in a few months so am pumped for tonights cook.

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

It's good fun - ya just got to get the meat in, and it shrinks with time, heat and smoke

Edit: can post some photos if people are interested

@nzzp

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

[nzzp]

@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

[nzzp]

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

ugh, still failing, image dimensions too big

[Duluth]

@nzzp what's the height and width?

[nzzp]

I've got them down to 1941x926. will try again now to halve it once more

I reverse seared some tomohawk steaks on the weekend. Lots of fat through the meat equals beautiful eating

[dogmeat]

I'm hungry

[Hooroo]

@nzzp they look amazing. Is that brisket though? Looks like Rib?

I'll try and take some photos tonight of the Pichana on the rotisserie
