IT SEEMS that everything
tastes better hot off the
grill!

Sizzling steaks done to a turn
over red-hot mesquite.

Juicy burgers, nicely charred at
the edges, ready to tuck into a
toasty bun and pile. high with all
the trimmings.

__A-thick fillet of salmon done
over glowing alderwood, ail
smokey and succulent. 2

Crisp chicken basted to a golden
finish with your favorite hicko-
ry-flavored barbecue sauce.

But nothing seems to beat ribs!

And that's what this week's
finger-licking feature is all about.
Baby back pork ribs. tender rack
of jamb ribs, and the kids’
favorite (or destined io be) —
dJurassic-sized prime rib beef
bones.

And I’ve got just the sauces,
bastes and glazes to go with this
rib-sticking roster.

Where better to start than with
a stop at your favorite butcher?

I find myself more often than
not over at Peter Black and Sons
Ltd., master butcher, in West
Van's wonderful new Park Royal
Marketplace.

Peter's family has been around
West Van' since 1948, when Mr.
Black senior established his first
butcher shop, coming directly
from Scotland.

Black’s son Adam insures the

third generation. ;
The shop’s meatcase is filled to

brimmin’ with ribs this summer —
all kinds,

And he has laid in a whole
mess of those oversized prime rib

-beef bones I’ve suggested this

week.

f even took a platterful by last
week for him to sample (see
photo).

Give Peter a call anytime at
922-5116. .

So... clean up that grill.

Haul out the basting brushes,
your mit and apron and tongs;
