Hi Alan
good to see you.
I AM a veggie so they're not much use to me
Other people's barbecues are a bit smelly too aren't they?
Think maybe things can get a bit noisy too and too much booze can be consumed resulting in neighbour disputes.....
We tend to eat al fresco, but more salady type stuffs.
Love

I lurve BBQs! We should make the most of what little summer we have and spend as much of it outside as possible, hence cooking and eating food out there too!
My brother has an industrial steel BBQ with two ovens and gas rings and grill. It's basically a kitchen in his garden and he cooks lovely food on it. Including veggie burgers for vegetarians.
They have a bad press but it's often the few that spoil it for the many.

And worst of all, adults with camera's wanting to take pictures of young children. Bloody 'eck the 'elf and safety and PC Brigade would have a field day, not forgetting the risk of some twerp demanding compensation because he singed his lip on a hot sausage. Arrrrrrrgh! The whole lot of them drive me mad! So much so I feel another story coming on!
Good to see you back Rehab - it's about bl00dy time!

Hi Alan,
I am another veggie... hey we don't just eat cold food you know I do mean quoin roast and very nice white stews for winter. Del knows the most amazing veggie recipes and so man suitable for winter but with out that stodge the meat ones I remember having
BBQ are sort of boring to me, I never really liked them but do have them from time to time as other people do. If I have to cook meat I cook it first and then just burn it to taste Cris x
hey rehab you forgot the crying kids cus the dogs have stolen their food xx0 -
Yep Alan
Lots of different veggie soups and stews. You can get textured vegetable protein as Cris says and do your onw curries, lasagne and almost anything to be honest.
You could try it out - say a couple of days a week and see how you go on.
OH yes and you can EVEN get VEGGIE BURGERS for the barbecue
Love

There now, me and the OH thought we were the only ones who loathed barbies.....both the food and the smell of them! We would do anything to avoid going to one and now that we have moved, we don't have to, 'cos no one knows us!
If we get any invitations, I will have to be 'poorly' again!

I cannot for the life of me see the point in eating some horrendous
sausage that has been burnt to a cinder, but horrible in the middle.
Then theres the burgers, same thing really, I think it's just to keep the kids happy, because to be honnest with you, no-one with any sense would go out of there way to eat one.
Wow, I can feel myself going all veggie after this thread, all I'm saying is, if were honnest with ourselves barbecues are all hype, and thats it for me this summer , it's a barbacue free zone for me, at least I'll survive a trip to the D rop In Centre.
What do you think ? Alanmancunian
I hate, detest, loathe barbecues. go and live in Australia If you want to stink the street out with the fumes of rotting meat. :shock:0 -
i love the socialising side but havent been able to attend any for a few years cos of my son. Nobody invites us now cos we turned so many invites down over the years.
But why does the barbie-man always wear a silly apron with some naked body parts on the front?
