The Secrets of that
Famous Ox Roast Beef
BackForwardPauseCaption -
Is It Really Ox?
Of course, that famous Ox Roast beef has always been a part of the Fair. Up to thirty-five hundred pounds of sirloin roasts are prepared in brick-lined pits on the parish grounds that are heated days several before the fair with a constantly burning wood fire. The beef is prepared, wrapped in cheese cloth & netting, then placed in the fiery coals, covered over, and cooked for several hours until done to perfection. (You may still see the pits smoking on the corner near the Entertainment Tent). The result is a delicious, slow-cooked Ox Roast beef sandwich or dinner that melts in your mouth!
