Overall, this was a good dish. The clams were cooked perfectly and the pork was tender and flavorful. However, the sauce was a bit too thin for my taste. I would recommend thickening the sauce next time.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. The flavors were not very pronounced and the pork was a bit dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. The clams were cooked perfectly and the pork was tender and flavorful. I would recommend using less salt next time.
