Royal Adelaide Show

So, I went to the show.
I love the show and I try to go every year, I even took a day off work to go this year. It was worth it 5 hours of show fun and amusments.
I took lots of photos but thought I would only put in my defining moments for me to have a good Show experiance.

Wood Chopping.
If you haven't sat down for a half an hour or so, and cheered on some guy on stand 5 to try encourage him to win, then you haven't been to the Show.
This year I got lucky and managed to catch the tree felling, this is the best as not only are there sharp bits of metal (ie axes) but also the danger of falling.
Tops. The next defining moment is the purchasing and eating of a Dagwood Dog.
Who ever invented a hotdog on a stick covered in batter and deep fried and smothered in tomato sauce should be given a Nobel Prize in chemistry.
See below for the pure genious of it.
The problem is that they are only avaliable at the show and not for the rest of the year (much like the beloved Bertie Beatle)
Mmmm.... Deep fried goodness.

Can't you just see the smile on my face as I stuff my gob with the pure greatness of a Dagwood Dog.

The only problem was that I kept tasting it for the next 4 hours or so. But even after that long it was still nice and I would do it again in a flash. My arteries might complain a bit though.

i always get excited watching the wood chopping - when i went to the show with my family we would always check the program and schedule morning tea or an afternoon snack to coincide with the chop.
such power - could watch it all day!!
and as for the Dagwood dog - i hate to say it, but I’ve never had one. will have to wait a whole year to give it a go.
