Not healthy.....blah

Besides, anything Corky BBQ means more hosts slopping apart BBQ meat with their fingers.

Pulled Pork & Pulled Chicken are so easy to make.  

The bbq burnt ends are not burnt ends. Burnt Ends are made from the Brisket Point not Pork. Burnt ends from pork are just chunks of pork?

You can buy pork n beans to make your own beans. Make it all yourself & save quite a bit of money plus you will have more food.

DH has a brisket on the smoker right now. Yum can't wait to eat it.

@Bellini13.  Heck I pay over $10. For a pitiful burger, medium fries and Coke at McDonalds.  This meal is an improvement over that.

Many one or two people homes aren’t interested in cooking something like this that mostly leads to leftovers they don’t want to eat or freeze for future meals. I might check grocery store to see if they carry them and give one a try for a treat. Most TV dinners are not large portion size. The sugar content concerns me more than the sodium. I hope those who order, enjoy them.

@Nightowlz   according to many...Burnt ends are slow-smoked, cubed, and caramelized pieces of meat beloved for their sweet flavor and soft-as-butter texture. Made from either brisket or pork belly meat.

 

Corky's has been selling burnt ends for years.  I doubt they would risk their reputation in Memphis for misnaming burnt ends as pork.

 

It's wonderful that you have a smoker.  Millions live in apartments and condos where smokers and grills are prohibited.

If you did what I did today, turn on the Q for a moment to sit with tea for a time out. All I have seen in a half hour is unhealthy food and three men eating in a recliner, or selling coconut bars and now Jim Stovall swirling BBQ meat in a plastic dish ...all three need to get healthy.  Their body frames with large mid sections and the look of people who don't eat well. So to invest 69.99 in these items makes me wonder.

I don't care what the naysayers do, I just watch Alberti quish a coconut bar with his fingers and throw it away.

 

I'm not buying, I'm chuckling and know now why sakes are down.

69 grams of sugar???!!!! I don't do TV dinners, but if I did I surely wouldn't do this one.

I took one look at those dinners and they don't look appealing. I live alone and cook for myself. I know what I am eating and it is important to me. They do have quite a bit of sugar, fat and calories in those dinners.

 

If I want BBQ, we have an excellent restaurant close to me that specializes in BBQ. Each to their own food needs.

I thought TSV’s were something you couldn’t find for less anywhere else? But Walmart has them for less than 1/2 price. I don’t understand?? 😳😳😳

The host just said 26,000 of the TSV TV dinner have been purchased. Who in their right mind would pay $11.66 for a TV Dinner that's a salt bomb? Shame on you QVC.
