Wow...some of these posts can go off in a tangent in a hurry can't they? It's like a BBQ soap opera sometimes.North Pittsburgh, PA

hondabbq said:Here is the recipe I was given. I'm sure zmokin will find fault with this too.
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp soy sauce
1tbsp salty
2 cloves minced garlic
Marinate for 2 days turning occasionally to re coat the butt
I also injected the marinade into it.
Smoke as normal.
I used the left over marinade to season it after pulling. I just boiled it and mixed it in to spread out more flavour.
For or a true Tocino slice pork thinly and marinate for the same time. Fast fry to crisp up.

My wife's family makes a pork on skewer dish that came to them from a Filipino co-worker. Seems quite similar but includes 7up and gin. I wonder if this is a variant of this. It's a mainstay at the cottage on the BBQ but it is not pink, more brown and crispy. We use butt which comes off almost like bacon in some ways.Mt Elgin Ontario - just a Large.

I also only put 2/3 of the salt asked for.
It it was a thin paste like marinade but after a day on the butts it had become a liquid in the bottom of the bus tub I was marinating in. I then strained out the garlic and injected the butt with it. -

The butt is sliced thin and then marinated and skewered. Sorry, not getting into the debate. Especially since I'm headed to Winnipeg at the end of the month and don't want to get hit

hondabbq said:Zmokin said:Legume said:Did they ever make you a happy customer?
Some people may find the title "purist" to be a compliment, but to me it means someone that is closed minded to altering things. I own a particular sportscar and there are purists that view the car as perfect as delivered from the showroom floor and leave everything perfectly stock. I'm not one of those. I like to modify things I buy, making them "my own", and ideally, improving their performance.

Of course not.
Please don't reply to this thread anymore. -
I think hondabbq is pointing out that you took offense at being called a purist, because to be a purist means a person is inflexible and unwilling to accept a little experimentation. You've mentioned that you look upon your fellow 'sports car' owners with some fair amount of disdain for their inflexibility, and that you pride yourself on being able to stray from the hardline, on being more willing to not feel encumbered by the heavy hand of purist dictum
and then you teed off on hondabbq for being flexible, and improvising, and not being a purist.
He was clear about his enjoying the traditional method of making tocino
he was clear that the tocino he had which someone else made inspired him to try the same flavorings on a butt, which was (he acknowledged) not tocino in fact, but hey, why not try it (rhetorically, i'm sure).
basically. A guy tries teryaki. Likes it. Says, (to self) "self, i liked teryaki. Howsabout i tried tryaki flavor on a turkey?"
dude then makes teryaki inspired turkey, using teryaki flavors
Then some dude (who he doesn't know and whose opinion is no more valid than anyone else's) pounces and says "turkey is not traditional teryaki!"
then when people remind the "turkey-is-not teryaki" pointer-outer that he's being a bit of a purist, he (turkey naysayer) launches into a defense of self, and states that he's anti-purist.
Ignoring the fact that he chastised aforementioned turkey-teryaki-tryer (non-purist) for not making the traditional purist recipe
least that's how it looks from the no-dog-in-the-fight seats[social media disclaimer: irony and sarcasm may be used in some or all of user's posts; emoticon usage is intended to indicate moderately jocular social interaction; the comments toward users, their usernames, and the real people (living or dead) that they refer to are not intended to be adversarial in nature; those replying to this user are entering into a tacit agreement that they are real-life or social-media acquaintances and/or have agreed to or tacitly agreed to perpetrate occasional good-natured ribbing between and among themselves and others] -

Well. I'm a bit of a purist that way. Or not. I can't remember which is the good one to be.

I do have one question.... is it pronounced "ToCHino" or "ToKino"? I mean I want to get it right when I tell my friends about this thread.
