Summertime! Let's BBQ

Lamb is definitely a great BBQ treat

That time of the year again :) BBQ is my favorite summertime food. Does anyone use American BBQ sauce in the UK?

Fisz, have you ever grilled raw pineapple?
Its unbelievably good...and makes an interesting side dish. Peel and core a fresh pineapple, and slice into rings. Mix some sugar with the grated peeling of a lime. Dip pineapple rings in melted butter, then roll in the limed sugar, and grill. OMG it is so good :) Goes really good with jerk chicken. And a margarita.

Mmmmmm....

BBQ Baby Back Ribs with Corn on the cob!!!!!

Have You ever used the Charcoal chimney?
Just put a piece of newspaper in the bottom and lite
then wait about 10 mins and all the coals are evenly hot.
Dump into the Que and your ready.
No more nasty tasting lighter fluid!!!



It works great.....

Hey fisz, the bbq has been perfected in Australia.

OMG I'm agreeing with an Aussie. Best BBQs I ever had were in Oz.

Lmao we are the best bbq country

I think it's what you throw on the grill that makes it perfect. We all know what they have in OZ....

mmm kangaroo steaks yummy lol :)

Buggers to BBQ though keep hopping off the grill

hahahahaha!!! Good one!

how about BBQd plantains? (savoury bananas).. wrap them in foil and serve with hot Jamaican sauce.. make a tasty vegetarian treat. Salads are important too.. at least 2 or 3 different types to serve with your choice of meat. What do veggies think about cooking meat and veggie options on the same grill.. acceptable or not? guess it depends how fussy you are about not eating animal fats.

Ribs are the best!!!



of course you have to have a ribfest,
any excuse to drink and dance...

the best is karkówka, meat taken from a pig's neck (shoulder) that is

not on really, and its as much about the taste as it is with dripping fat

and has anyone else noticed how the vegetarian food is always the first to go at barbies... whatup with that?

mmm.. I have one veggie friend who wont even go to a BBQ cos of the smell.. but shes very weird anyway. I used to be a veggie but now eat meat and when I was a veggie it didnt bother me as long as the meat wasnt touching the veg stuff, but I know some people are a lot more fussy.. its a dilemma tho isnt it if you have lots of veggie friends a and lots of meat eaters.. do you buy two BBQs or end up grilling veggie burgers in the kitchen? Even tho. I eat meat now I still prefer the veggie food.. so maybe thats the answer BW.. also whenever we order sandwiches for a meeting, Ive noticed the veggie ones seem to go first..they always seem more attractive somehow.

Taste of Polonia BBQ......... Only 3 more months away!

barbies are so cheap nowadays that having 2 is a simple and easy option, even if the scond is just a cheap disposable one. I have 2 - a funky little cauldron pot which is my veggie barbie, and one of those big things that meat eaters can play around with if they want... grilling veggie burgers in the kitchen just aint right ;-)

good option.. it means extra coal and attention tho... makes mental note to ditch vegetarian friends.

sell out :-P

as an attempt at consolidation of the thread, if you were hosting a typical Polish BBQ for friends, what would be your menu?

pork ribs, pork shoulder, bacon, sausages - good ones, chicken legs and wings

vegetables served fresh as a side salad...

bread, beer, vodka, cigarettes :)

sounds pretty much like in the UK.. but you forgot the wine and strawberries

i haven't, wine and strawberries wouldn't even cross my mind, honest.... or maybe... as the years pass by, more and more friends would opt for wine...

ah well.. each to their own.. strawberries are nice after all that meat and they cleanse the palate.. and wine is just nice any time. only my opinion of course. I would also recommend potato salad and bulghar wheat salad along with more traditional green or tomato salads.. and lots of chilli sauce, mustard, ketchup etc. etc..... must go Im feeling very hungry.

Yummy, my favorite combo. Don't forget the chocolate over the strawberries.

I haven't but I will try this. I actually just made Jerk Chicken the oither night :) I love that stuff!!



Yeah man..Shrimp on the barbie :) I'm sure you bbq more, but this is the good stuff here.



No way. I think our Texans will bbq circles around you Aussies :)

Just kiddin, but you can't say you're the best :) It all depends on who's doing the cookin ;)

Can Szaszlyk be made from any meat or just lamb? This is the only way I know. I also use tomato, shallots, bacon and peppers. Does anyone have any other szaszlyk recipes? I've also had a good pork marinade in PL but can't remember the ingredients. Anyone?

Does anyone have any other Polish grilling recipes?

yahhh.....
