I have a question about the flavor of my pork. The rub i use is fairly typical, but the injection has a heavy blackberry and muscadine flavor. I like this, but it hasn't scored very well. I haven't been very happy with the pork i have turned in at competitions as far as tenderness, but the flavor is right where i wanted it. I know it is hard for you guys to guess on this and at the next competition i cook at i want to find some of you to let you taste it and get your feedback, but is a distinctive flavor like an issue? I know it can be a bad thing when you stand out from the crowd and i didn't know how common it is to turn in a strong, distinctive flavor like this. I wish we got some feedback at competitions other than just a score. I wish i knew what i was doing right and what was wrong. Thanks in advance for any feedback
