Well I'm throwing a BBQ soon and want to change it up a bit.

Usually I'll do homemade burgers, sausages, steak, pork chops, ribs, chicken kebabs and maybe some sort of fish (More difficult as the nearest decent fishmongers is quite a drive)..
As well bbqed potatos, corn, peppers etc.

Just looking for more interesting bbq food, some inspiration?
 
Virtually all veg can be done on the BBQ, and it all tastes kinda nice and different (bigger veg you need to boil first).

Also my mate bought over some special unmelting cheese (cant remember the name) which we shoved on and it went down a storm ...

Finally, you can change all the meats by adding any kind of basting you want. Go buy 5 pots of flavours (BBQ sauce, salsa, garlic dip, nandos peri peri sauce, reggae reggae sauce, that kind of thing), some herbs, and even if you kind of sprinkle on almost random herbs, and pick any combination of flavours it will add a twist and not taste disgusting.

We always throw in some tiger prawns or add some tuna steaks. Prawns are really nice on the bbq. If you going to do ribs, blanche them first, add the sauce, leave over night and then crisp them up over the fire.
 
Halloumi cheese. Simply the best BBQ food ever, fact. You can put it on your burgers etc rather than normal cheese if you want , but doing so is just wrong.

EDIT: Doh! Beaten by my slow typing.

I usually coat them in brown sugar and a few spice, seal them in a baking tray with some water and cook. Then pelt them with bbq sauce and finish them off on the bbq. Always the best ribs.

Never thought of halloumi, done toasties with that so I might try do some halloumi and vegetable kebabs.

Some good ideas coming out though, liking the mushroom idea.

If I do lamb it's usually marinaded with fresh mint and oil. Anyone care to suggest a better marinade?
