Chatting to a mate of mine and he said he hates BBQs and normally eats before hand if he gets invited to one. :eek:

The reasons he gave for not enjoying BBQs include food being undercooked, overcooked, the wet weather, sitting on fold-up chairs and other stupid reasons.

Its not hard to have a BBQ these days...especially with disposable BBQs costing £2 or so and as for the food, just check it and if its not cooked, put it back on the grill again. :confused:

BBQs are immense.
 
they are great. Obviously a boring fart, or gone to bbqs that cost £5 for 5 kilos of "meat" and a cook, who should be flying a napalm bomb.
 
I don't like them much either. Especially if they're in the middle of a field and with a disposable BBQ. They seem to be the new student fad.
 
I love BBQs :) Whether you're using a disposable one or a decent gas type, sitting outside in (hopefully) good weather with a selection of different meats/fish etc is awesome.
 
Well the weather in the UK is so bad, we don't get much chance to practice cooking on BBQ's so it's no wonder he's a little weary.
 
If a person can properly cook great food on a bbq, then a bbq can be fun. If you have someone who ruins the food or it just doesnt taste special then IMO I would rather just cook food normaly instead of have a BBQ.

Quoted for the truth it is :D

You must remember the 12 BBQ Golden Rules though:

1- The woman buys the food.

2- The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert .

3- The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

4- The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.

5- The MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

6- The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

7- The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat.

8- THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

9- The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

10- After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

11- Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

12- The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women
 
I don't fancy them that much either. I don't like the idea of exposing my food to the elements and what ever insects that decide to invite themselves to my barby.
 
i was walking past exhibition park in newcastle the other day and noticed there were loads of cars about lol i get around the corner and it was like one of those bbq scenes from a black gangster movie :D

BBQ's are the best! Nothing quite like gathering afew mates, going down to the beach, cracking open afew, eating some overcooked burgers, sausages, and having a good laugh!
 
They can't be beaten if the food is cooked correctly.

Nothing better than a BBQ while camping after a long walk. I ate like a horse the last time we did this.
