Hot Off the Grill

I love BBQ's and i my fav is Texas Brisket. Cook it in a slow oven for 8 hours or so in bbq sauce, pepper corns and lots of garlic salt. When done, let it sit over nite in the fridge. Slice it up and lather onmore bbq sauce and place it on cookie sheet and to the grill it goes!

I have a gas and a charcoal grill. The gas is more convenient but i prefer the taste of charcoal. I know many don't as they feel it takes over the taste of the food.

Ahhhh mishaps................I love when you have everything prepared and about to fire up the gas grill and learn you are out of propane. That's good times!

Here in Serbia, we mostly use charcoal grill - and BBQ is practically our national dish! 😂 But we here grill everything - from sausages and burgers to chicken wings and mushrooms. Dunno if it's like that everywhere...

Personally, I absolutely love chicken liver rolled in bacon on grill. Yummy! 😋

Hey lay off the British sausage! Its an institution! Bangers and mash and all that!

but seriously I know what you mean. Give me a BBQ'd chorizo any day!

where are you in the UK Savannah? I get Italian sausages at Tescos now and then.

That sounds absolutely bloody delicious!

I love a good barbie, but the meat has got to be marinated or basted or something. There's nothing worse than a hunk of meat with nothing on it. And I'm sorry my American friends but hot dogs are gross! I'm talking the red skinned frankfurter ones, yuck!

Italian sausages, chorizos, yum that is making me seriously hungry. And its about a quarter past dinner time right now!

One of my favourites is simple, BBQd hot corn on the cob with a bit of butter on it.

My dad is a BBQ mishap king. He's done the old "run out of gas" plenty of times, but they have swap'n'go gas bottles at petrol stations now so its quick to get a new one. But the best one was the day the gas bottle ignited and the whole BBQ went up in flames. This was when I was a little kid. He called the fire brigade and up rolled 2 full fire engines with about 10 firemen in full protective gear racing into our backyard. They get there, assess the situation, and one, just one of them, puts on a massive glove, reaches in and turns off the gas valve. Problem solved. They stood around for a bit, had a chat and a beer, laughed about how they all came around just for that, then left. My old man was left with no eyebrows and half the hair on his head singed.

Yessssssssss and although that sounds really awful the first time you hear about it the corn is actually quite good. Took me a minute or 2 to accept the mayo but was glad i finally gave in.

As far as the hot dog goes Ed i am not a fan either but it is an American institution. Come live visit here and i'll show the best rubber dog joints around and make a believer out you yet!

Poor dad Ed..........did his eyebrows every grow back in?

Yes - smothering in mayo doesn't sound that great, but I'll take your word for it!

"rubber dog" ?!? Is that what you call them? I just googled that and all I get is pages of toys made out of rubber for dogs. 😂

Oh yes the old man's eyebrows grew back bigger and bushier than ever. The smell of burnt hair is not nice though let me tell you!

We had chicken fajitas on the grill and it was awesome. Marinade the chicken and grill it with red peppers, green peppers, onion and tomatoes. Put it inside a flour tortilla with homemade guacamole and yummmmm!

Oh yes sweet corn too!!

Fajitas are delicious! and its fun to roll your own at the table too. My kids love em
