This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred something a little lighter.

I thought the quince was a bit too overpowering. I think I would have preferred a more subtle flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pork was dry and tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pork and quince compote dish was an absolute delight! The combination of sweet and savory flavors was perfectly balanced, and the meat was fall-off-the-bone tender.
