Gotcha. So then would it be safe to assume that if I had tasted a lot of bbq sauces in my day and know I don't like overly sweet ones that I could steer clear of a sauce that has dark brown sugar, molasses, high fructose cornsyrup and corn syrup because I make the assumption that is has to be over the top sweet with those 4 sugary ingredients without actually trying it??
Or maybe I would try it because even though I see what is going into it someone said it has a nice combination of sweet, spicy and tangy flavor. So the dark brown sugar, molasses, highfructose cornsyrup and corn syrup were only one level to the sauce as there were other ingredients that went into making the end product well rounded and balanced. But sometimes folks only see the shock value step that is highlighted without seeing the others steps/ingredients involved to make an excellent end product.........
In your example no. Because I cannot see the amounts. But when I sit and watch someone cake pure brown sugar, squeeze half a cup of butter and honey onto a slab of ribs. Considering the amounts I just watched being put on there I promise you I can get an idea of its sweetness. It doesn't make me a guru. I've just messed around with rubs and different amounts of sugar, honey, and other spices to know what certain amounts of seasonings do to meat.
