We are not pork eaters, both because commercial farming of pigs<\/a> – fairly intelligent animals – is just brutal and because we don’t find pork particularly flavorful meat, but there weren’t many exciting menu choices in the week I chose to try Hello Fresh,<\/a>\u00a0 so we went for this meal kit.\u00a0 We were pleasantly surprised.\u00a0 While I was a bit disappointed on how small the boneless pork chops were – specially after I cut off the strip of fat on one side -, the cinnamon-paprika spice mix gave them a very nice flavor, in particular when topped with the cherry sauce.\u00a0 I don’t like cherry, but loved this sauce and would think it’d go well with turkey as well.\u00a0 \u00a0 The mashed potatoes could have been better – the kit included small potatoes that couldn’t really be peeled, and I prefer peeled potatoes in my mash.\u00a0 The slaw was pretty good, but not earth shattering.<\/p>\n

The meal was also fairly easy to make, the carrots come pre-shredded, which saves a lot of time.\u00a0 The apple was fresh and delicious.\u00a0 All the ingredients seemed to be high quality and the recipe<\/a> was easy to make.<\/p>\n

In all, this was a good dish.<\/p>\n

I’m more likely to pay $12 for it than for the tacos<\/a> I had before.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to try Hello Fresh, you can use this link<\/a> for $40 off your first box (it will also give me $30 towards a future delivery).<\/p>\n
