Protein prepared with a lot of lurrrrve, that's what this platter of mixed housemade meats named "The Enthusiast" meant to me.
It comprised of Home Plate Texas BBQ's "Original Sausages" (I liked them dipped in mustard), "Rib Tips" (these were a bit charred but definitely nibble-worthy), a pile of "Pulled Pork" (very juicy, well-marinated pork shoulder, the result of several hours of barbecue with apple wood) and my favourite - the Beef Brisket. Those slices of smoked red meat were exceedingly tender and stunning with flavour. The fat-laced ones were particularly appealing as they were more moist.
I tried mixing and matching everything with the squirt bottles of sauces on the table. Ranging from sweet to tangy with a lick of heat in a couple, they gave the meats varying accents, all of which were appetising.
Special mention must be made of our selected sides of potato salad and slaw served in jars - they're simply superb.
