TASTERS TELL

Published: Thursday | September 2, 2010 Comments 0
Nothing looks as good as this serving of barbecued pigstail bathed in a mango glaze. - Ricardo Makyn/Staff Photographer


1. Like the taste, like it very much. But could have been a little less sweet.

2. Very tasty. Didn't believe the combination would work but it's good. Not too sweet for me.

3. Finger-licking, lip-smacking good!

4. A little too sweet.

5. It's fantastic, I loved it! I had no idea that pigstail could be so delicious. Thanks for the recipe, I am going home to try it.

6. The pork was good overall. Sauce excellent, pigstail succulent. But it was too salty. I think if it can be less salty, it would fly off the shelf.

7. The sauce overwhelmed the natural taste of the pork. The sauce was overpowering, way too sweet and cloying. I'm a pork/pigstail lover and I wouldn't chance another bite without drinking two glasses of water first.

8. This is a vast improvement over when I tasted this some time ago. It's not as salty and I love the mango glaze. This gives me ideas as to the potential of pigstail.

9. I thought it was very sweet - a little too sweet. While the mango glaze had a nice flavour, it was lathered on too thickly. You could taste mango glaze. We lost the flavour of the pigstail.

10. Very delicious and I plan on using the glaze on everything.

11. I was a bit sceptical at first but after the first taste, I was sold. The accompanying sauce was excellent. It left you wanting more!

12. I loved the sweet honey taste. It was a welcoming change from the regular recipes I know; was not too salty, it's certainly an interesting dish to try out.

13. It's nice, apart from being a little too sweet.

14. I really liked the taste with the mango glaze and it was nice and tender, and, most important, it was neither too salt or fresh.

15. This mango glazed pigstail is exceptional!

16. Did not find the cured pigstail to have that extreme saIty taste, and the mango glaze is delicious. I want to have more of this!

17. Wow! Didn't know that pigstail could taste sooo good without tasting a bit of salt.

18. Really really nice.

19. A pleasant alternative to usual ways of having pigstail but should be taken in small quantities along with some other meat protein for balance.

20. The sauce/glaze is a nice blend of the sweet and tart but could use just a bit more pepper. Too much may be cloying, however.

21. Should go well with a 'tall' glass of lemonade or fruit drink, flavoured with a bit of Appleton rum ... LOLOLOLOL ...

22. It tasted great ... like it very much.

23. Very good. Jamaicans will love this!
