My meat and sweet taste will never meet. Just my personal preference. But regardless of the marinating ingredient: If I am marinating meat in something, there will be either salt in the marinade, or some form of salt added later for seasoning. Just no way otherwise.

I know it will raise eyebrows on some, but if I want to make certain that my meat is really tenderized well, I'll soak it in soda pop. Doesn't matter what flavor, the sweetness of the drink is not passed to the meat. I kid you not, it works! I've even put it on hamburgers and it worked.
