What do you like at a BBQ?

[FizzyPink]

Planning a BBQ in a few weeks when our new garden is complete and keen to find out what people like to eat?

In my Tesco order I currently have burgers, sausages, beef kebabs, lamb kebabs and halloumi. Will probably also do a big bowl of pesto pasta and buns obviously.

Any other requests? There’s no veggies attending but I’d love some nice easy salad recipes if anyone has any suggestions

I love bbq salmon. I love any fish at a bbq despite being a meat eater, and would go for the fish every time.

I do Delia's potato salad recipe - lemon juice, grain mustard, garlic , salt and pepper as the marinade, it's a lot less heavy than the mayonnaise ones and cuts through the fat on the BBQ meat well.

I prefer chicken. So would swop one of the kebabs for chicken.

Corn on the cob.

Jacket potatoes

Coleslaw

Coleslaw, potato salad, greek salad, tabbouleh (Delia's recipe). I'd prefer any of these to pasta.

Burgers are the best bit of a BBQ for me, so decent lettuce, cheese, proper burger relish, mayo, and good buns. The rest I don't really care about if I'm honest. Good coleslaw I would saw if a must though, and maybe some nice cous cous.

I'm not a fan of burgers and sausages but I love teriyaki salmon and Chinese chicken thighs. Also chicken kebab type things. Tesco do some nice flavoured ones.

I also like a rice salad to go with it and a leafy green salad with feta and olives.

We're heathens and never have burgers or sausages at our BBQs.

You get given things like steak, spicy pork belly strips, chicken drumsticks, lamb chops, halloumi, jacket potato, giant mushrooms, salmon etc

For side dishes I'll make things like cheese coleslaw, potato and bacon salad, Greek salad, curried mixed beans, flatbreads, pasta salads, Mexican rice etc

These are great ideas, will definitely add some chicken kebab type things and corn on the cob.
I’m not a coleslaw fan and didn’t realise so many people are so will find a nice recipe for that.

I’ve also got two of those big mason jars with the tap at the bottom which I plan to fill with a fruit punch/cocktail if anyone has a great recipe. Probably one alcoholic and one non

Burgers and sausages fine, as long as they are the really good ones. Pre-made kebabs, generally bleugh, as they tend to have lots of revolting covering on them. Fine if they are plain, and you put your own herbs and spices on. Would prefer to make own steak kebabs with peppers and mushrooms, or even better, big slabs of steak.

Tomato and morzarella salad, and pepperonata also staples for us.

Chicken drumsticks and thighs.

Also, steaks are absolutely delicious on a bbq and are very easy/quick to cook.

Cob loaf
Corn on cob ( boil and then simmer for a good 45 minutes, marinate in butter , garlic and pepper). Warm on bbq , it will burn quickly so be careful but so yummy
Burgers with nice lettuce, tomato , buns etc
Have maybe a plate of cold meat, salami, ham, twiggy sticks
Olives
Sundried tomatoes

Really good quality burgers and sausages. Large bowl of salad.
Fresh Crusty bread.

I usually marinade pork chops in bbq sauce.

Jacket potatoes also good!

I love BBQs but there is usually far too much meat (I love it, but usually just have a small amount), so good quality meat rather than quantity. I always make halloumi and veg kebabs, tabbouleh and baked corn and they always go down really well with everyone.

Also lots of fillings for the burgers for people to make their own - big sliced tomatoes, mozzarella slices, guerkins, blue cheese and mature cheddar slices. Lots of relishes. Don't forget citronella sticks to keep the bugs at bay!

Yy to pork belly strips

Vodka, coke, ice, lemon

Burger, pork loins, kebab sticks!

I dont do salad we are more booze and meat. We do however do a big bowl of sliced onions, and lots and lots of garlic mushrooms.

Lettuce/tomato/cucumber is available if anyone wanted it tho & a variety of dips of which will be touched by one person each and left to die in the fridge until after summer

Coleslaw, good granary type bread , savoury rice salad. Chilli sauce.

I do halloumi, red onion and chorizo kebabs. yum.

Halloumi salmon in foil and watermelon salsa

This is my go to salad for BBQ’s. It’s delicious with lots of veggies and always gets lots of compliments. It makes a huge portion too. It’s got roasted sweet potato, peppers, onion, corn, black beans and is dressed with lime juice.

Steak, sausages and burgers. Lots of beer!

Grilling capsicums on the bbq is nice, as is chargrilled asparagus. We do a honey soy marinade on the steak, and teriyaki chicken skewers, along with greek marinaded lamb skewers, with a potato and a lettuce/spinach salad.
