Curlys Pulled Pork Review
Curlys is one of the brands of (now Chinese owned) Smithfield, the world’s largest pork processor. They slaughter about 50,000 hogs a day to keep up with your demand for Nathans wieners, Kretschmar deli meats, Cooks hams, and many other product lines.
Curlys makes seven different BBQ products: pulled pork, beef, and chicken in sauce; sauceless versions of the pulled meats. And fully cooked whole slabs of baby back ribs.
The pulled meats are in the refrigerated or freezer cases of your grocer; they come in one pound tubs, and rings up at about .43 cents an ounce. I purchased the pulled pork in sauce, and it can be heated (it’s fully cooked already) in the microwave or stovetop.
There’s a considerable amount of meat in the sauce. The BBQ sauce itself is thick and fairly sweet. (Ingredient list below). The meat has an authentic pulled ‘cue’ taste and texture.
I ladled it out onto a Turano sandwich roll, a popular Chicago brand. It’s a bakery type roll, soft but substantial enough to hold “wet” meats. I like my BBQ sandwiches like they serve in the Southeast US, topped with slaw.
The product will appear in my kitchen again in the future, tho if I can find it, I’ll go with the sauceless choice, and try some of my own preferences, like “Carolina Gold.”
