BBQ sauce on roast beef or roast pork is exactly like Heinz Red on a
grilled steak. I've never encountered any BBQ sauce, even home
concocted, that didn't ruin whatever meat it was applied too. Again,
pulled pork is how southerners salvage an over cooked roast.... they
hack it up like with mulching blades and drown it with some no account
slime. BBQ sauce is not something I keep at home... actually I'd be
very embarrased at the checkout for anyone to see me buying it.
A properly prepared roast beef needs nothing but ones appetite, same
for a pork roast. About the only condiment I like on pot roast and
meat loaf is horse radish. People who like pulled meat with bbq sauce
are the very same as who dress their hotdogs with ketchup. Yik
