Purple pork chops

Anyone care to explain what’s going on here? (edit: sous vided and torched, btw.)

Apologies for the kids’ plate. We don’t eat until later, when my wife finishes work.

 Yeah I would wait to eat that too...

It would be helpful to tell us what you put on them.

For example, foods (vegetables) with anthocyanins can turn blue/purple in the presence of an alkaline pH.  If you take some of that blue/purple and add vinegar, it turning red (or more red) would help confirm that's what it is.

Is one of the kids a big fan of Barney or something?

When I googled “purple pork chops” and scrolled through images - I saw your picture. Other than that, obvious stuff like a red wine brine, or purple cabbage. Freaky!

There is yellow pizza dough and purple hogs 🤷‍♂️

Ok, so what's going on here is someone is playing with software.

Looks like the other white meat to me.

Bingo! Marinated and then sv’d in a red cabbage, onion and jalapeño brine that was simply repurposed from the batch of pickled veggies.

All natural, my friend.
