This is purely from a home cooking perspective. Experimenting on the ingredients for Limp Marinade has always been sort of a hobby of mine. It will always be a mixture of some sort of oil, acid, sugar, salt, spices, and herbs – it’s the type of these and the amount per ingredient that I tweak every time.
