| Spicy Coca Cola Pulled Pork |
If you have flat coke and don’t want to throw it away, Spicy Coca Cola Pulled Pork
is a good way to use it up, assuming that you are not a vegetarian.
I looked at a number of coca cola pulled pork recipes. The amount of coke
varied, ranging from 1 cup for 6 pounds of pork to as high as 1.2 litre of coke
for 4-5 pounds of pork. I decided to use
¾ cup for a pound of pork, which is little more than a litre for 5 pounds of
pork. My thinking was that if I am making coca cola pulled pork I might as well
use a lot of coke, to make sure the coke flavor is there. Plus I had lot of
coke to use up.
The pulled pork turned out great. It was sweet, but I couldn’t taste the
distinct coke flavor. I rarely drink coke so perhaps my taste buds could not
detect it. The recipe is available here.
While the pulled pork was really nice, I would not make this recipe again
unless I had some flat coke to use up. Coke added sweetness, however I could
get almost the same result by adding sugar, hence avoid all the preservatives
and other stuff that goes in coke. I prefer my other two pulled pork recipes:

A fantastic article explaining how margarine is linked
to divorce, or actually how data can be manipulated to reach strange
conclusions.
The graph shows the relationship between rates
of divorce and margarine consumption over almost 10 years.
While the statistics do show a statistical
relationship between divorce and margarine, it does not mean that there is a
link between margarine consumption, and divorce.
There are constantly lots of articles linking consumption
of various foods and drinks to health. For example consumption of olive oil is
linked to good health. Or consumption of butter helps in weight reduction. The real
issue is whether there is a statistical relationship, or a real relationship.
Thats a great coincidence, how about butter and marriage. LOL
ReplyDeleteButter = long marriage.
DeleteYou have finally did it! It looks amazing! I am disappointed to see that coke didn't add anything magical to the taste... It sounded very promising, but the most important is the great result.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, I'm not surprised at the divorce rate: I cannot imagine many couples where introduction of
margarine would not create problems ;-)
Yes I finally did. Maybe pepsi would add more flavour:) Or normal coke, not coke zero?
DeleteI think margarine couples don't last because its based on something artificial - not natural:)
