Hmm... I think I get all the reject kroger chit up this way... Not tryin' to hate, but everytime I open one of their cryo's, it smells like death, in fact there are 2 brands that I absolutely will not buy at any price if I can help it... kroger cryo packed pork and Prarie Fresh pork... different stores, different cuts, always a bit funky.
The ones that I've had to cook (nobody else had what I needed) turned out alright, didn't taste bad, but I just hate starting off with a product that ain't quite right.
Usually when I see a sale on kroger or prarie fresh, I take the add into a different store that carries excellent pork (seaboard, seaspray, sea something...?) and ask if they will match it, they usually do! :wink: :thumb:
