Calling of The Barbecue

(1/68) > >>

lagerstarfish:
I am calling the 2009 Barbecue Season open because...

*I had a my first barbecue of the year last night

*it was sunny on a bank holiday weekend

*at least 2 neighbours had washing hung on the line within 10m of my barbecue when I lit it and because it was reasonably late in the day I felt no guilt in proceeding with smoke production (photographic proof to follow)

*it was warm enough for me to be wearing shorts - even when the sun disappeared (I'll spare you the photos)

I accept that The Barbeque Season may well have started elsewhere in the country already, but with Sheffield being at the centre of the UK I thought it worth calling.

More importantly, I thought that it was time that we had a thread dedicated to this most enjoyable summer activity


--- Quote from: Lagerpedia - A Guide to The Barbecue Thread ---Pointless discussion about when The Barbecue should be called and how it should be spelt

Post up any good barbecue recipes - vegetarian and vegan ideas welcome too (anyone attempting to take the moral highground either way will be roasted alive and eaten)

Reviews and reccommendations of barbecues and related equipment (home made or shop bought)

Reports of any good times had and respect given to hosts

Post any photos of barbecue food, cooking injuries, sunburn, outdoor beer drinking, foolish behaviour

GCW:
We did one on Saturday, and although it drizzled intermittently for half an hour, it turned out nice again.  Noone came down with GI symptoms though*, so I'm not sure if I can class it as a proper BBQ.


*although everyone that ate Nik at Work's cheesecake came down with a sudden attack of the coronaries

SA Chris:
Had late attendance at one yesterday. We were out climbing, so stopped on the way back, when the food was already cooked, which was was a good way of doing it. There were half a dozen South Africans present during the cooking process, so the meat was done perfectly (this is normally my job). However, no shorts were worn, so I am not sure if this is an official calling for Scotland.

soapy:
no shorts - fail

LucyB:
We're on soup rations due to Mr LucyA's nasty infected throat - again  :(

He had the constitution of an ox before we had a baby.....

However, I am going to buy a barbeque this week - any recommendations? Not too big or expensive. Proper charcoal rather than those cheating gas things. Must look nice and be hard-wearing as it will end up outside all the time.
