Baked Pork Chops, Mrs. Wilkes’ Way
Evidently, according to Ceci Snyder of the National Pork Board, their slogan “the other white meat” is getting a little boring and “just blending into the background.”
Drew McLellan, of the McLellan Group advertising agency, is not so sure that is a good thing as “the other white meat” is a well-known tagline that strongly resonates with customers. He said most companies would love to have a tagline like that one, which is so recognizable with their product and the pork board is throwing that away.
McLellan compares “the other white meat” to Alka-Seltzer’s, “Plop-plop, Fizz-fizz” and the Oscar Meyer Weiner song. Snyder says they really need identity that catches people’s attention…
It makes no difference to me what it’s called but when “the other white meat” is mentioned, I definitely know what that person is speaking of.
Anyway, we had “the other white meat” last night and it was delicious because I used the recipe from Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House Cookbook. The cookbook states “the reason to Mrs. Wilkes’ tender, flavorful chops lies in her use of Worcestershire and soy sauces and lemon juice.” Included also is ketchup, or catsup, per the recipe. I adapted the recipe by adding minced garlic and topping the chops with mushrooms.
So watch out ~ sometime in 2011, there will be a new catchy phrase for promoting pork! In the meantime, give this recipe a try! These chops made Bill a happy man!
