Lamb chops are gorgeous barbecued. Just about the only things that are. Although sausages can be quite nice delicious.

Hate the smell, hate the discomfort of sitting outside and I have never ever been given anything I wanted to eat at a barbecue.
Charred vegeburger in a stodgy roll anyone?

Charred offerings on the outside and raw on the inside, I usually accept some salad and a bun and avoid the aftermath. Not saying that everybody has this experience, I must know some dodgy cooks.

Hear hear kitty (or is it 'here here'?)
While I was having my endoscopies on Wednesday (therefore unable to prevent him) DH escaped into B&Q and bought a new gas barbecue so is now keen to use it. I don't mind eating out doors but am not a fan of the BBQ, which is usually cold food by the time I get it.

We talked about it the other night and have come to the conclusion that it is too much faff for just us,

In our house doing a barbecue is seen as 'men's work' so why do i end up running round like a blue tailed fly doing the buying, the salads, bringing plates, cutlery out into the garden, clearing up all the bowls, implements etc in the kitchen and taking everything back inside whilst praising DH to the hilt for his prowess. I manage all the above every flipping night but in the kitchen! confused

He is always very complementary about my offerings but usually just sits at the kitchen table having a drink and chatting!
