Barbeque

[Barmaid]

Apparently, I am now catering for BBQ on Sunday (how to kill Mr BM and get away with it will be the subject of another thread).

Now I would normally do some chicken skewers and fish skewers, but one of my guests is allergic to shell fish.

Any ideas for other meat skewers that I can knock together quite quickly would be much appreciated. I might go for some home made burgers, which I can knock up in a few minutes, but other than that, what can I serve? (Apart from a Spit Roasted Mr BM - I learned about this 4 hours ago when I was on the telephone to a colleague).

Marinated pork ribs.
Lamb and rosemary skewers are nice.
Can the have salmon? Salmon skewers are good on the BBQ too xx

Butterflied leg of lamb with chermoula dressing.....and lots of other delicious mid eastern accompaniments.

Or down size and have lamb kebabs with chermoula....l.

yakatori is dead easy and you can use it on beef, chick, fish, whatever really

lamb kebabs with peppers and pitta's with garlic mayo and salad are my idea of heaven, in fact what time do you want me.

im a dab hand at skewering

[Barmaid]

Thank you all. There are some good ideas there.

now how do I dispose of a body?!!!!!

HUGE barbecue!!!!

[murraymints]

What time do you want us barmaid ?

[Psybbo]

Marinate him first

[murraymints]

Is he tasty ?

[Barmaid]

As long as I marinade him long and slow, he'll be tasty. He doesn't get why I've got the hump. I'm sodding pissed off that I shall spend all day Saturday preparing for Sunday. I work full time (and then some) and i was looking forward to a weekend "off". I'm really cross.

Run away barmaid ! Come to Edinburgh.....!..you can do my bbq... !

Chop a fairly ripe banana into three or four chunks depending on how big your banana is. Wrap each chunk in a slice (or half a slice) of bacon (smoked if you like smoked). Thread on a skewer with pickled onions, bits of sausage, and chunks of red and/or yellow pepper. Brush with anything you have to hand or make your own with oil, tomato pure, Worcestershire sauce, runny honey.
Each skewer should have two bits of everything on it. You can use chicken, pork or any other meat you might have, as well as or instead of, the sausage.

I love corn on the cob done on the barby. Lamb kebabs are quick to prepare, served with yoghurt and mint dressing

A BBQ is the easiest thing in the world to cater for, everything is going to taste the same anyway -burnt :-) Sausage,steak or homemade burgers, shop bought marinated wings and ribs. Potato salad, tabouleh, green salad, bought dessert or ice cream and lots of booze. All done by 12 lunchtime tomorrow sorted. You can of course battle with skewers and all sorts of fiddly things but frankly this is self imposed martyrdom and it won't be appreciated. Do the above and you will be a stress free hostess and everyone will have fun -yes you too .

Barmaid you are a very intelligent lady but there are some things you obviously do not know. This is how you say NO NO NO tongue against the back of the front teeth now say loudly & distinctly NOOOO I'm NOT doing it. Got it ?

Perfect for veggy bbq guests, and vvv tasty, IMO

Send Mr BM to Asda/Tesco/Whatever armed with several carrier bags and with a shopping list with a single word in capitol letters...

"MEAT"

Then spend the day in the garden and leave the whole lot to him. His idea, his colleagues, let him sort it out.
