We had two menus, one for those who eat pork and one for those who
don't...

barbequed spareribs, rubbed and mopped
potato salad
coleslaw

grilled filets (by request), also with cracked mixed peppercorns
rosin-cooked potatoes
thick slices of beefsteak tomatoes

grilled corn on the cob for both

desserts were sour cream raisin pie and lime cake with whipped cream
