Taro was impressed. It looked like quite a project Ben had set up there. "Getting all this together must have taken some real effort. That goes way above and beyond what I expected anyone to do for this festival."<br/><br/>He shifted the shoulder strap of his bag over his head so it crossed his torso, keeping it more firmly in place, before he squatted down on his hunches, half way between Ben and the smoker. "I'm Taro. I think we met on the first day here, at the Abnormal Support Club table. But hey, maybe we Japanese all look the same to you anyway?" He grinned at Ben, trying his best to signal that he was just joking.<br/><br/>"So.... hogs, huh? How do you prepare them for smoking?" He eyed the smoker again, his eyes lingering on the device. "You wouldn't have any bones left over? I sometimes make my own stock, but I never tried it with pig bones before. Usually I use beef when cooking bones."
