On the Shelves now !!

Just been to Asda and to go with their range of pre cooked ribs, you can now get 'pulled pork' and slow cooked brisket.
That bandwagon is getting jumped all over :-)

Probably a teenager on work experience, using the cheapest meat available to get the best markup... Or am i just being cynical...

:shock: I was told about this last year and considering the research and money that went into this. I was hoping that they ended up with a much better product than what is being described :shock:

I owned up to buying some for evaluation last year. I think it's the same crap quality product some wannabe Tex-Mex restaurants use to charge an extra £3 to create a Pulled Pork burger. I haven't tried their brisket but it cannot be worse than the Texas Brisket that Waitrose sold a couple of years ago.

Like the Waitrose products, I think the aim is to get people who haven't tried the real thing interested in the style of low and slow. Then maybe find out how to make the products themselves? Buy a Pro Q or WSM? Or am I just being naive.

It's a thought, but they had a whole shelf full of BBQ wonders including Heston's burgers which were A SIGHT MORE TASTY than the beef

Just back from Asda their quick cook flavoured ribs now include cherrywood smoked, bourbon glazed ribs and slow smoked Beef Ribs. Maybe after the course on Saturday we'll try some when the price is low, then we'll be a better judge of their quality.....or lack of it ;)

Go to agree with Toby here

Bloody awful :x

Tried pre cooked ribs today....euchhhh! Absolutely tasteless and dry, says on the packet they are cooked in the bag to retain flavour and moisture :lol: the wife got them for me from Sainsbury coz I was staring at the wsm longingly and needed a fix. Words can not describe just how bad they were....only done ribs a handful of times and I ain't no championship cook but mine are a million times better.

Best given a miss, boiled in the bag rubbish and at six quid....daylight robbery :|
