Default Who the heck would think this is a good idea?

I don't know what time period that one is from, but this one was
probably inspired by something similar to yours and it is my favorite
marinade for scallops. I don't like it as well on shrimp. I've never
tried it on pork even though I think it would be tasty, but I wouldn't
even consider it for beef. How I would consider it for lamb.

Mustard and Bourbon Marinade
Recipe From: The Best of Gourmet 1989

Makes about 1 1/3 cups

1/2 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup bourbon -- plus 2 tablespoon
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup dark brown sugar -- firmly packed
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup scallion -- minced

In a bowl, stir together the mustard, bourbon, soy sauce and
Worcestershire sauce, and the scallion.

Use the marinade to marinate shrimps or scallops, covered, at room
temperature for 1 hour, or beef, chicken, or pork, covered & chilled,
overnight.

Baste shellfish or meat with the marinade as it is grilled.
