The cry went out, where can we get liquid smoke in Townsville?

My young adult son had found a great recipe for BBQ Sauce but the success of the recipe depended upon ‘liquid smoke’.

So I let my ‘fingers do the walking’ and telephoned two delis “Essentially Fresh” and “Angelina’s Deli” and luckily both had liquid smoke in stock.

The sauce was a great accompaniment to the pull pork he also made in his new purchase : a slow cooker and pressure cooker combined.

Looking forward to the next meal he makes.
