Short stories: Hickory smoked baby back pork ribs
Every year as the Perth Royal Show approaches, I think about this particular stand with the yellow roof, and I dream about hickory smoked baby back pork ribs in special sauce.
We shared a rack of ribs at the Royal Show today and my sticky fingers gave my new camera its proper christening.
The special sauce was as lip-lickingly awesome as ever, though if I’m being honest, the meat was a little dry this time. But we made short work of it and left behind a pile of well sucked bones.
The crowds always make photography challenging but this year the rain added to the difficulty (I used the old ‘camera in a plastic bag with a hole cut out for the lens’ trick). I’ll be sharing my favourite shots with you this week via a special run of Royal Show-themed short stories, including more Royal Show food.
