Its Looking Like A Barbecue Weekend In Many Areas...

[Chipchopper]

and I'm thinking 'kebabs' with onions peppers and mushrooms.
But what low fat meat is best on the skewers ?

[woofgang]

chunks of turkey breast? but you will have to put oil or something on them.

[Chipchopper]

Thanks Woof, that seems like a good contender.
I have some spray-on olive oil.

[pastafreak]

Maybe some marinated,boneless,chicken thighs. (A bit moister than turkey ). Marinate in Indian spiced yogurt.

How about some fish??? Salmon, haddock and some prawns all marinated and skewered.

I'm not having a barbecue. I hate barbecues!

[gingejbee]

Tilly....I was thinking that we were the only people in the UK who have never had one...don't see the attraction at all!

[shoota]

Venison.

I'm with you there Tilly, I've never understood the fascination with BBQs.
Much better to get pre-packed slads, nibbles, etc from M&S, chill the beers and white wine and relax.

[Tilly2]

We've had them, Ginge. Blooming pain. Too hot, too many flies, too much faffing about.

[-SharonA-]

^^^^^ burnt meat, undercooked meat, why bother??

[Chipchopper]

I have a pouch of 'Hoi Sin' sauce in the fridge, do you think it would make a good marinade.

I like b,b, q's especially if they are the traditional type, that uses charcoal.

Use to really enjoy cooking on the simple old Hibachi barbecues that actually used charcoal. The food actually tasted good. None of this cooking over a huge propane torch, and slathering the heated food with with all kinds of weird concoctions so that you can pretend it tastes better that food cooked in and on the stove.

Can't stand BBQs. Always hate macho men taking over the BBQ soon as the Sun appears and try to prove their culinary skills and smugly pretend they are giving the wife a break but really consider the female too dumb to handle it.
For god's sake I have been the main cook in our family for the last 40 years so I don't consider I am doing anyone a favour by cooking in the garden.
I have a nice Spanish 3 ring paella burner on a tripod with a massive paella pan to match. I would sooner cook a seafood/chicken/rabbit paella any day al fresco.
Any one want a 3 burner BBQ. Had it about 5 years and used it about twice.

[stuey]

OK, Chipperchopper: you got it, charcoal: You beat me to it.

Got to agree with that, old bean.

I remember my mum and dad visiting my sister back in the early 70s. They came back with what was known as the Hibachi then. It was never referred to as a BBQ. Think they got it in a Canada Tyre store.

[stuey]

We used to chuck them, charcoal, and an ice-box full of food and beer, and head down to the beach...Great fun. By the way, it's Canadian Tire:)

[stuey]

Chuck them into the trunk of the car, that is.

[retrocop]

No liquor allowed on the beach around Lake Simcoe when I was last there. The Yorkie Porkies must be Hugenots!! :-(

[stuey]

Retro, one does learn how to become very discreet...Especially this one. Anyway, you lot, enjoy your barbies, and kens: I'm off for wobbly-pops...Cheers.
