A local food truck operator is believed to be rugging up this afternoon in preparation for some hours work in her commercial deep freezer.
Lifting several cardboard boxes marked ‘Country Music Fest’, it’s understood local food truck owner Shonnae Webb is returning several hundred kilos of defrosted crumbed sausages back into an icy abyss.
With thick beads of sweat forming on her brow, which very much resembles the thick beads of sauce she squirts on her famous ‘Double Dagwood’ special, Webb told The Advocate she was disappointed to face the postponement of yet another festival.
“Bloody oath I’m disappointed!”
“The Country Music Fest is a real jewel in the Akubra for our region!”
“Course we couldn’t put it on last year, so all these battered snags have already been back and forth into the freezer, it’s just a real shame!”
Asked about the potential breach in food health and safety due to the transferring of processed meats between scorching summer heat and a commercial grade freezer, Webb said the loyal country music crowd was well acquainted with the risks associated with eating a sausage on a stick.
“Nah they’ll be right, the people that turn up here to fold out a deck chair and sit in January Tamworth sun for three days listening to Lee Kernaghan can handle a pluto pup.”
“They love em!”
“And anyone that gets crook from my food are probably city tourists, the ones that swan on up the New England thinking they’re about to walk into an episode of Back Roads.”
“You know, the ones that stop off in Murrurundi and buy some antiques, they won’t bother buying any chips on a stick, I’ll tell ya that much for free”.
The Advocate must also publicly disclose that our reporter received two free coupons for a Pluto Pup, which we plan to cash in at the festival’s scheduled return in April.
