EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the traditional Cornish custom of a hog roast, as expertly executed by Landlord Les Rowe in his charming old pub. Nestled in the heart of Cornwall, the fireplace of this quintessential English inn becomes the stage for an age-old culinary tradition. The hog, carefully secured to the spit, is about to be attacked by Les Rowe's deftly wielded knife. The anticipation in his expression and the smoke billowing from the fireplace add to the sense of excitement and tradition. Les Rowe, the affable landlord and brother of Cornwall's renowned comedian Jethro (born Geoffrey Rowe in 1948), presides over this historical event with a sense of pride and ownership. The hog roast, a time-honored Cornish custom, has been a staple of community gatherings for generations. The rich, savory aroma of roasting meat fills the room, mingling with the crackling fire and the lively chatter of patrons. As Les Rowe carves into the hog, the crowd gathers around, eager to partake in the succulent feast. The warmth of the fireplace and the convivial atmosphere create an inviting, nostalgic scene that speaks to the rich history and heritage of Cornwall. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional customs and the joy they bring to communities, making it a must-have for anyone with a love for history, food, or the unique charm of Cornwall.
