Great American Texas BBQ @ Kowloon Cricket Club – 27 November, 2018

An evening of heavy cold rain added a unique local flavour to the Great American Texas BBQ 2018 but did little to dampen the enjoyment of prime US meat.

The rain did though allow for demonstrations of considerable dexterity, eating tasty US beef ribs, while holding a plate full of burgers, sausage, chilli, artisan US cheese, sushi; a beer; an umbrella and for the really skilled taking a selfie… And the creation of new friendships as umbrellas, plates and recommendations were shared.

Hosted and sponsored by the Texas Beef Council, USMEF and USDA with music from Taiwanese band Whisky River, the evening promotes and showcases Texas beef and artisanal US products. World Champion BBQ-master Timothy Broderick of Pit Ventures was there with his legendary brisket and short ribs.

American Artisan Cheese @ US Consul’s Residence – 8 November, 2018

‘American cheese’ was for many years synonymous with tasteless slices of plastic cheese… Things though have changed in the last decade as the world’s largest milk producer and a myriad of small and big cheese companies across the fifty states now produce some of the tastiest cheese in the world.

Unconstrained by the tight regulations that define a type of cheese in France / Italy / UK, cheese manufacturers in America have experimented with milks and production processes to create delicious traditional hard and soft cheeses but also many with new flavours and textures. The US Dairy Export Council is working hard to raise awareness of locally and slowly we are beginning to see these American artisan cheeses in Hong Kong shops.
