Not what was presented!

crazy4bears — Thu, 20 Mar 2025 23:31:30 GMT

Just received the TSV Corky's BBQ heat and eat honey bbq dinners in the pulled pork.

While I liked what I ate, just wasn't enought for 2.

When this was presented there was so much pulled pork in the trays. That is the reason I purchased as it would be enought for 2. NOT.

I have on auto delivery but hesitate to continue it.

8 ounces of meat is enough for 2 portions

google defines a normal portion of meat as 3 to 4 ounces

for 2 it would be 2 four ounces on sandwiches which is what they showed.

@crazy4bears. Why would you think a dinner for one would feed two people? Visually, you can see there isn't enough food in the tray for two.

If you read the boards that day, I described the serving size as "skimpy", even for one.

For what reason? The serving sizes are clearly listed as 13-16 oz of food per tray including the sides.

I didn't watch on TSV day so I accessed the video. It's obvious, IMO, that the meals are single servings.

Just FYI, during the presentation, they SAID it was enough for 2 people. They took a fork and separated it in the container and put half on a bun for a sandwich and left the other half in the container. This is what I went by as seeing that I thought it would be enough for two people! I dont' care about the baked beans and apples, it was the pulled pork that I have an issue with.

Comparing what I had in the first one today and to what they showed, no comparison at all.

I even went back to the video and mine looked nothing like what they presented.

I am not contacting for a refund. When we eat them again I will just have to do two of them. But still undecided to continue the auto delivery.

I watched a little of the presentations, but it seemed clear to me that these were single-serve meals. And I thought they would have to be supplemented with some additional sides or vegetables, unless they were meant for a light lunch or dinner.

As much as I love pulled pork, I passed on this TSV.

@crazy4bears Yes, probably best you cancel the auto delivery so you don't continue with it as you can see up close and personal it is smaller portions than you were led to believe.

4 oz. of meat on a bun is a decent amount, so in that scenario it could work. Without a bun, a person would likely consume more meat. Since you are dissatisfied, it's probably best to stop the AD plan. Good luck.

They do say that it feeds more on many presentations, and I believe we saw this one and that said the same thing. IF one were making a sandwich that would probably be true but if one were to just eat it and part of the meal then I don't think it would. DH and I watched because he likes pulled pork, I cannot eat it due to the sugar content. Right before I submitted the purchase he said not to order it.
