LOL
ok I 'fess up to the same mistake too--but wasn't brave enuf to admit
it--ours was like chipotle or something but still nasty

Buzz--

A cautionary tale...

So,

I'm at my local super-duper warehouse store, and on a whim (maybe I
was tired...maybe I had had one too many beers the night before..who
knows) I pick up one of those marinated pork loins. You know, Swift
Premium whole pork loin...zesty garlic, I think it was...

I know.

I KNOW already.

Alright, I DON'T know. It was just there. And I guess I
figured...hell, can't be that bad...just marinated pork...I'll just
throw it on the grill sometime this weekend and use the leftovers for
sandwiches.

So I grilled it on my Kamado on Saturday. Cooked it PERFECTLY, I might
add....carmelized on the outside, perfectly juicy on the inside...

Looked great. Only problem was when we actually tried to EAT it.
Um...it WAS that bad. Over salted by a mile and a flavor that is
something I am still trying to figure out what it reminded me
of....slightly grilled rubber latex rubbed with stale garlic and
rancid lemon.

Tender though...

We've made the same mistake before, too. :~)

Here too, with some of that pre-brined spares crap. Definately not for
bbqing.

Agreed on the marinated pork but since you mentioned chipotle... Some
how I inherited a bottle of Mrs. Dash low or no sodium chipotle marinade
and used it in an emergency one afternoon... DAM! a low sodium store
bought product that actually produced a delicious and juicy batch of
grilled chicken.

I admit to making man, many mistakes in my life, but buying
'doctored' meat in a box store is not on that list. Thanks to Juke,
it never will be.

I've been eyeing those things in various meat cases for months now. Glad
I have resisted the urge to buy one. Thanks for the heads up. I think I
could
marinate my own with more success then you describe. Likely most if not
all of us could.

I've been eyeing those things too. Glad y'all confirmed the
(mis)taste. You gotta remember, they buy from the low bidder &
marinade ingredients aren't always cheap (if done right).

Harry,

I am glad that someone <ptui!> can benefit <ptui!> from my
mistake..<ptui!> .

I knew better in <ptui!> the logic center of <ptui!> my brain, but
somehow I let <ptui!> the curiosity factor override <ptui!> my common
sense.

Oh. <ptui!> Excuse me. I am still <ptui!> trying to get the taste
out of my mouth...

;-)

Gargle with Scotch, Juke - and don't forget to dab a little behind
each ear, eh ;0)

Who bought a doctored pork chop once when visiting in America just to
look at it close up. OMG!!!

Yeah, I did that once, many years ago. It was sure soaked in salt.
We didn't finish it. But it sure was tender.

All I can say is.. THANK YOU! Not necessarily for doing it mind you, but
for telling us about it after you did... I have to admit I've been tempted..
now, that temptation will disappear forever.
