Giant and Smithfield
Just went to Giant to pick up some pork chops for the grill. Was hoping to find the nice thick loin chops that they used to have there, but imagine my dismay when I see that every fresh pork product in the display case is Smithfield Lean Generation Self-basting. Grrrrr! I don't want this $#@&! And the pork chops were all thinly cut...no wonder they have to do something to fix the flavor and the dryness. Yuck.
So I walked with trepidation to the service meat counter, hoping for something better. The service meat counter is very lightly stocked these days and you have to ring the service bell to get somebody out to wait on you. At least they still have a service bell. And in the case at the service counter, I found "All Natural" Smithfield Lean Generation pork chops, cut thick. According to this website, "All Natural" just means they haven't injected any junk into it. Well, I plan to grill them anyway. {sigh} But I am not going there again for pork chops.
More later....
