=====================
 Hi, Jim,

 JM> Now you guys got me reading labels! I bought 2
 JM> bottles of Wegman's BBQ sauce today to try,
 JM> ($1.99 for a 20 oz (567g) bottle) because
 JM> the ingredients labels read:

 JM> Memphis Style: Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste),
 JM> Water, Sugar, Fancy Molasses, Distilled Vinegar,
 JM> Cider Vinegar, Salt, Modified Food Starch,
 JM> Dehydrated Vegetables(Bell Peppers, Onion,
 JM> Garlic), Spices, Mustard Flour, Natural Flavor,
 JM> Paprika, Citric Acid.

 JM> Asian Style: Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste),
 JM> Sugar, High Fructose Corn Syrup [Whoops, I missed
 JM> that on the quick run-through], Soy Sauce (Water,
 JM> Soybeans, Wheat, Salt), Hot Peppers, Distilled
 JM> Vinegar, Fancy Molasses, Salt, Modified Food
 JM> Starch, Orange Peel, Lemon Juice Concentrate,
 JM> Ginger, Garlic, Spices, Sesame Oil*, Natural
 JM> Flavors, Acetic Acid, Citric Acid, Calcium
 JM> Chloride.  *Adds a trivial amount of fat.

 JM> In other words, they are made mostly out of
 JM> real food ingredients!

 JW> I'd buy either one.

 JM> I'll try to remember to
 JM> report on these as I taste them.
 JW>
 JW> And adjust to MY tastes which seem to appreciate chile heat and
 JW> acidity more than the average consumer. Let's face it sweet sauces
 JW> sell.

 True. And actually I like sorta sweet sauces, especially for pork.

 JW> I got a kick out of "*Adds a trivial amount of fat." I just bought

 I think they added that because the required nutrition label did say
 "Fat 0%", which was probably correct as the sesame oil probably ups the
 fat content to less than 0.5%. I think the caveat was put in to stop
 would-be smart-alecs from complaining the company was lying. The bottle
 didn't have any big banner saying Fat-Free! on it for advertising
 purposes, though it did have a small symbol for FF, as well as one for
 lactose-free and another for "vegan". It had a little symbol for
 Allergens (contains soy, wheat). And I just found, in checking for
 these, another symbol for heat, showing Hot for the Asian and Medium
 for the Memphis. This isn't marketroid stuff, particularly, just info
 the consumers want available and the government sometimes requires.

 JW> some eggless pasta that claimed to be low fat and trans-fat free.
 JW> Great! I can eat it with my caffeine-free jelly beans and sugar-free
 JW> pork rinds and be healthy. I just hate corporations that treat their
 JW> customers like morons.

 Now, now, Jim. Watch the blood pressure during the rants! I found the
 Wegman's label very straight in telling people what was in the bottle.

 Pork doesn't have to be sweet, it can be sour and tangy and still good.

      Title: Pork Ribs with Potatoes and Onions, Garlic and Mustard
 Categories: Pork, Garlic, Casserole
      Yield: 2 Servings

      4 lb Pork ribs, country style or
           -"Western style"
      4 md Onions
      4    To 8 medium potatoes
      2    To eight cloves of garlic,
           -depending on size and taste
           -for garlic
           Grease
      4 T  Lemon juice or vinegar
      1 T  Sugar
      1 t  Salt
      1 T  Prepared mustard
      Pepper to taste

    Grease the casserole dish, then line evenly with potato slices.
  Arrange the pork pieces with spaces over the potato, then fill in
  with onion slices. Slice the garlic cloves thinly and distribute as
  well as possible on the meat surfaces. Mix the mustard, vinegar,
  sugar. Salt and pepper the casserole as estimated as desired. Drizzle
  the sauce over the casserole and bake at 350 F for about 2 hours,
  covered.

  If the need is for a smaller scale, feel free to scale down! I do so
  regularly! It's a general method I am trying to scale to a particular
  recipe scale.
