Hi Steve, struggling to understand your post but if i have it right you are asking why there is a difference in flavor if a judge has one bite or eats the lot? The reason for one bite judging is due to the sheer volume of food a judge will consume during a competition. 6 bites (or 12 if the taste burnt ends too) for brisket, 6 bites of thigh, 6 bites of ribs and generally two different type of pork, pulled sliced, chopped etc. It is impossible for a judge to eat everything, a man vs food challenge..........
