Family BBQ May '09

[Sundae]

This might have easily slotted into the Images thread, but I'm hoping that other people might share their family BBQs too, and the link between us will definitely be food and drink.

From the top. This was the first family BBQ of the year. It was a very English BBQ. We dont do it like the Aussies or like the Merkins. We have about a day's notice of warm weekend weather, get some sausages and burgers in, and cook too many on tiny grills.

Today was the day after Dad's birthday, so it was counted as his birthday celebration, albeit small scale (again, because we can't rely on the weather).

Pic 1 - Dad and the grills. The greyish discs are really very nice burgers, there's also a chop which has been marinated in an American BBQ marinade.

Pic 2 - condiments, salad and chips (crisps to us). Sadly, what I forgot to get a good photo of was my rainbow salad. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, and no-one wondered why the English salad staples of tomato and cucumber were served separately (because I loathe them).
