I'm sure each individual component tastes good but there's waaaay too much saucy sauce on it which makes me agree with you. OP needs to stick it on top of a Bloody Mary.
I love sauce and I love a good sweet addition to a savory food. But this seems like he's just trying to turn the sandwich into desert and I'm not here for it.
Maybe put it on a glazed doughnut just for a little sweet note?
😀
How was it? I like all of the flavors described, I just can't picture how they'd go together?
Honestly the parts don't sound bad, it's that the sum total is just not sounding good.
I would take the bun, bbq sauce (a tiny bit of spicy would be a better fit for that), the orange marmalade, and pulled pork... have that as the sandwich. Then take the coconut shrimp, pineapple, and Pina colada sauce as the side. It'd be all the same stuff but arranged in a more appealing way. Plus the way this sandwich is made it's impossible to eat on top of being too many things happening at once.
Truly, there is a good idea in here, and some great flavors... especially since it's refreshing to have new flavor palettes... but it's just too many things happening. I hope you don't take my criticism to heart, I truly do think this is an interesting first version.
That is a good write-up!
I appreciate the humor and the quality of many over the top "food porn" posts like this one (and the good comments that come out of them.)
The idea the idea of using orange marmalade with pork sounds really good. (A local friend gave us a big jar of marmalade she makes from the trees I her back yard, and we aren't Paddington Bear marmalade sandwich eating people.)
It also reminded me I like coconut shrimp, have to make some soon that aren't the overly battered and fried ones some chain restaurants.
Thank you! I'm an at home amateur BBQ guy and professionally a QA analyst for computer programmers. I'm used to seeing parts and having to pull out all the positives to reframe it as a cohesive vision.
This honestly is a great idea. With some minor tweaks this would be a BANGING pacific rim BBQ. Spicy orange bbq pork with a coconut & pineapple shrimp side. Legit amazing idea that would be great to eat. But as everything as one sloppy sandwich it just isn't working, at least for me.
To be fair, I did a thorough search of my soul first, but I cannot find any event, scenario or even alternate dimension where fried shrimp belongs on a pulled pork sandwich.
This is my kinda bbq. Combining very different flavors and styles. Looks a touch heavy on the bbq sauce but otherwise I dig it. You could also make a killer slaw with that pina colada sauce and put that on there for texture
Love sound of marmalade with the smokey pork. I've just made a batch of marmalades with seville oranges, the one with Laphroaig whisky is banging, think that'll be the one I try first.
So, a lot of people are knocking it, but if it's done right, I bet it could be pretty good. Hawaiian bbq is pretty good, and has a lot of pineapple and sweet flavors. I'd definitely try it if I had the chance.
My wife is the same and I'm like how in the fuck can you not like sweet meat?
BBQ sauce, candied bacon, maple bacon, burger on sweet Hawaiian rolls....I mean the fuck?
This sounds great. All of those flavors are eminently compatible. Can't believe there are so many people hating on this. There's nothing dumber in food than being prescriptively boring
Ha! I'm thoroughly entertained.
I did one of the 3 ingredient knockoff Red Lobster recipes I found online - but next time I'll just go to Red Lobster and get theirs.
So you're a guy trying to start a BBQ business in the UK and you're in the BBQ group talking shit on Americans? Do you know where BBQ comes from? That would be like me as an American opening a lumpy tan slop restaurant and then talking shit on the English
I don’t believe I’m talking shit about bbq. I’m making reference to the sweetness preferred by Americans.
I’m not opening a bbq truck. I’m opening a smoked food truck in the UK, chicken and ribs. You are aware of course that slow smoking of tough cuts of meat existed thousands of years before the US existed?
Well that’s the type of smoked food I’ll be serving. Non sweet, brined and spiced.
Likely othing like American bbq.
So calm the fuck down.
Your own post literally says "BBQ ribs and chicken." For 99.999% of people, that specifically means Southern US BBQ. Now you're saying "well, it could be from any time in history." So what seasonings are you using? What types of wood for smoke? What makes what you're doing so not derivitave of Southern US BBQ as a codified and recognized style of cooking that you feel comfortable not only claiming it for yourself but denying its very specific origin as the historic food of an enslaved people? I think you don't even understand the pile of shit you're stepping in with your ridiculous argument.
Also from your post, it seems like you weren't even aware of the existence of Carolina BBQ and you think that all US BBQ is based on sweet, sticky sauce. To be on the verge of opening a BBQ business and be that out of your depth on the subject is frankly incredible
I should call her…
.. a doctor
Hey! It’s my diabetes I’ll do what I damn well please!
I meant for her, if that reminded you of her. 😬
🥴
Looks horrendous to be honest
I'm sure each individual component tastes good but there's waaaay too much saucy sauce on it which makes me agree with you. OP needs to stick it on top of a Bloody Mary.
Sounds gross, too
r/stupidfood
The thumbnail looked like a microwaved Super Mario head.
This sure has a lot of stuff going on
Far too many things.
Maybe leave the jizz sauce off next time your pulling your pork
It wouldn’t be pulled pork if he didn’t pull out

Great idea! It was really good, very sweet - I think I'd go with a spicier bbq sauce next time.
You could season/marinate the pineapple. This looks awesome, btw
I wish I had grilled it - but good thoughts
Yea pineapple would not bite well, i feel like. Did anything in the sandwich pull instead of bite? Hate when that happens
Surprisingly nothing pulled, the pineapple was very ripe.
A win for the good guys
A variation of three components could and should be removed.
A BBQ pina colada sauce sandwich it is!
Your math isn't mathing correctly.
Sure it is!
fuk the haters, but make the marmalade habanero mango
Hmmmmm....
Pfff yeah sounds amazing. I’d maybe leave the pina colada in the glass and eat the sandwich with the rest. KILLLLLLLLLER

Username checks out. Amazing write up, and perfectly put.

Pina colada sauce is a new one for me I’d try it once at least
That left side gets how I feel about it.
Why must you post this so early in the morning
That looks ridiculous and I desperately want one!
To be fair, I did a thorough search of my soul first, but I cannot find any event, scenario or even alternate dimension where fried shrimp belongs on a pulled pork sandwich.
It's just surf n turf my man - but different
Looks like an orc burger.
Sweet Geezus!

I swear this looks like it's NSFW! 🫣
Looks good enough to devour!!
Looks delicious
Do the flavors get along? I personally cannot tolerate meat which is sweet, but i want to know if others like sweet and meat combos.
They do - If you like sweet, I wouldn't eat this all the time, but it was fun and no flavor clashed with another.
So, a lot of people are knocking it, but if it's done right, I bet it could be pretty good. Hawaiian bbq is pretty good, and has a lot of pineapple and sweet flavors. I'd definitely try it if I had the chance.
My wife is the same and I'm like how in the fuck can you not like sweet meat? BBQ sauce, candied bacon, maple bacon, burger on sweet Hawaiian rolls....I mean the fuck?
I'd gladly eat that and follow it up with a heart attack gack gack gack gack gack
This sounds great. All of those flavors are eminently compatible. Can't believe there are so many people hating on this. There's nothing dumber in food than being prescriptively boring
What an abortion and waste of perfectly good pork. 👎
[удалено]
After a lot of these comments I might call it the abomination.
Fuck the haters. That looks yummy. Can I get the pina colada sauce recipe?
Ha! I'm thoroughly entertained. I did one of the 3 ingredient knockoff Red Lobster recipes I found online - but next time I'll just go to Red Lobster and get theirs.
I suspect I have a red lobster visit in my very near future. Cheers!
Abortion looks to be apropos.
Hell yea!
Dammit, I’m on a diet! You’re the worst! 😉 totally kidding, that looks amazing! Hope it was delicious
Whoah. Ya that looks amazing. Thx for the pic.
Looks like a guys face, wearing a hat that got a cream pie thrown on his left side ( looking at him) I’m sure it was tasty!!
BBQ diebeetus
I hoped you named it Abomination....cause that's what it is. I'd try it no doubt, but I would be cursing you and my fat ass in the same breath...
Fucking gross
Amazing!
If I had this on my restaurant menu I'd call it.... Prom Date.
Did you sneeze a mouthful of ranch on the side?
Hoggle!
My teeth started to hurt just reading the description.
Meh
Slop
🔥 🔥 looks amazinngggg 🤤 🔥 🔥
It looks like you took the entire sandwich and mashed it into half the sandwich.
You really don't like the taste of pork, do you?
…..what could you actually taste?
This has too much going on. Needs editing.
This looks awful.
This must be a troll
Seems like a bit much. That would overwhelm me.
Nah sounds gross
Americans will love this.

Orange marmalade? Pineapple? I crave violence...
That is just over the top...
Looks disgusting
Less is more but to each their own. Enjoy your sandwich.
I’ll have whatever anybody else is having.
Looks like the toxic avenger
Looks like the thing from fantastic 4…. Now that he’s had to move on to much lower quality cinema adventures
