Customer Review: Product listing jambalaya: Porkert, counterfeiting, etc.
Summary: 1 Stars
April 5, 2011: I've decided to correct and completely update this ancient review from June 29, 2008. This is a rather obscure product and I don't review extensively but when I do I try to add value in return for all the excellent information I've received over the years from others.
After some digital forensics research I think I know what happened:
The original product listing said this was a Czech-made Porkert meat grinder. If I remember right, it was even using a Porkert photo with the raised cast iron "PORKERT" brand. I believe the vendor at the time was VillaWare and it was listed as "V265-08 PORKERT Meat Grinder #8" (the original listing is immortalized in another reviewer's post).
However, their meat grinder was clearly not a Porkert and---without hesitation---I commented on their false advertising and gave the product 1 star. Theirs was not an honest hawker's exaggeration. It was a lie. I went away and bought a real Porkert somewhere else.
When I checked my old "counterfeit Porkert" review recently I found it attached to a "CucinaPro 265-08 Healthy Meat Grinder - #8" listing with no reference to Porkert (CucinaPro seems to be a brand od VillaWare or vice versa). I did not know how long it sat there but my review no longer made sense and it understandably caused some irritated comments (see below).
I deleted the original text of my review and relocated it to the comments (for posterity). I replaced it with the text you are reading right now.
I left the original 1 star rating unchanged but I encourage potential buyers to put my rating and the comments below in their proper historical context.
The actual product as advertised and sold today is not a Porkert but it may very well deserve more than 1 star. It no longer seems to be misrepresented. It is cheap and that is a virtue---ceteris paribus. Concerning quality I would defer to other reviewers. I have a Porkert, just as durable as they used to cast them since 1800s. Double hot-tinned in good, food-grade metal. I am not a health nut but when it comes to metallurgy I like to know what we are putting in our food.
But enough about our brave new world. Back to cookery.
