Am I The Only One That Does Not Like Bark? - Page 2

dig'em · 02-10-2010, 04:15 AM

Everyone in my family loves it. I have eaten pulled pork and briskets before with very little bark and I much prefer the thick bark.

I have used baked beans recipes that call for burnt ends, but somehow i never have any of them to spare for some reason.

Captain Dave · 02-10-2010, 05:36 AM

I think bark is overrated also. I trim the fat so only the thinest possible fat cap is left and use a sugar free rub. Better that way.
I like women too.

I'm somewhere in the middle. I like some but, I have had a few pieces that where too think with not much tender meat.

Ruff, RUUUUFFF. Bark rules!!!

I do foil, after about 5+- hours on smoke. When foiling, I spray it down pretty
good. The bark isn't nearly as crusty & hard as it once was. The family used
to not care for bark, now they're barkaholics...

Ruff.

It's funny you ask. Just last night I was picking out some bark from a frozen bag of left over que in the freezer and my wife looked at me and said "you've got to be kidding me". To which I replied, "Oh honey it's my new invention. The pork-cicle! She apeared to gag. I LOVE BARK!

I mean, it's gross
Look, its just so... black

*rap*
I like barked butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
A hunk o meat gets walked with that dark crusty taste
Just a round thing in your face
You get sprung
Wanna pull out yo tongue
Cuz you notice that butt was stuffed
Deep in injection its wearing
I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
That meat I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that butt you got
Make Me so horney
Ooh, rump of barky skin
fans of my brethren friends
Well use me use me cuz you aint that average groupy

So Fellas (yeah) Fellas(yeah)
Has your meat got a barky butt (hell yeah)
Well shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake that healthy butt
Baby got bark

My anaconda don't want none unless you've got bark, hun

I love bark, but have some here that don't so I shred it as fine as possible and mix it all together for added flavor! Works well

wayner123 · 02-10-2010, 08:08 AM

I love a nice piece of bark. But then again, I chew the fat like bubble gum.

Do you typically like jerky?

Alexa RnQ · 02-10-2010, 08:13 AM

No, I don't like bark.

RubMeTender · 02-10-2010, 08:19 AM

This is a surprising thread. I'm mostly surprised at how many people don't like bark. I think a properly done bark is one of the most important pieces of smoked meat.

Dutchovendude · 02-10-2010, 08:32 AM

Properly done, it is to die for. If it is dry, bitter (burned sugar and creosote) and tastes worse than an old roasted shoe, I'll pass!

Surprised me too!
My bark is a bit crusty and soft and holds the flavours of the rub.
No bitter,burned taste....even my blackest porkneck turned out tasty and boy was that 1 black!!!
