Her two little girls tugged at her skirt begging for a taste of the smell that filled the air in their home. Substituting the ingredients she had on hand, Carol stirred and blended her own version of the fancy recipe she attempted to follow. Nervous about feeding her company, Carol kept trying, adding spices, and oils until the taste fit her palette just right. Marinating a pork loin in the newly
invented concoction, she nervously plated the food and served her company. Silence fell over the room as she grew increasingly tense with anticipation of their critique. Just then one of her little girls yelled out in front of all of her guests, “Mommy, what good meats!!!” Everyone giggled at the reaction from her little girl and also agreed that it was “good meat marinade” and immediately asked for the recipe! Carol hesitated thinking that there is no recipe; she simply made it up as she went along, so from her daughters mouth came the name of her famous concoction. “What Good Meat!” From there Carol knew that this would be her claim to cooking fame, her secret recipe that would have her guests begging for more. Good Meat Marinade has been a secret in the Polifrone family for years & will be passed down through the generations. We hope that you enjoy the marinade and sauce as much as we have and use it in many ways.
