We have received only a few comment cards but everyone of them has been a waste of time and completely worthless.
Here is an example: Last weekend in Midwest City, OK we received a comment card for our pork: "Virtually no flavor down in the meat. Try Injecting." The judge gave as a score of 8-5-9.
First of all If there was no flavor down in the meat I could understand it but leave off the "try injecting" part - I don't need your cooking advise. Second, we DID inject with SOW pork marinade. Thirdly, eat the whole chunk or MM slice - dont pick it apart - eat it as it was presented.
Lastly and most importantly the rest of your judging buddies did not agree with you on the flavor. The other judges flavor scores were 9-8-9-8-8. You completely wasted your time to write the card, the reps time to match it to the score sheet and our time for reading it...although we did get a good laugh out if it.
I wish that KCBS judges would just eat the product and judge it appropriately. What is the purpose of pulling it apart, sniffing at it, squeezing it, tugging on it, drapping it over your finger, etc. Just eat it and if you like the taste and tenderness score it well...if not score it low.
I don't often post about the judging but had to vent with this one.
