sidcow Posted May 30, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2020 End of last summer our Gas BBQ packed in and we threw it out a couple of months ago expecting to get a new one for this summer. Then the lockdown happened and I haven't been able to get one (I'm not going to pay megabucks for a big brand name). So today I got the old charcoal BBQ out and had and old skool BBQ. Haven't used it in years. I have to say I actually found it more controllable and easer to cook on than the Gas. If it overheats and starts flaming, move the grill right up to the top. The Gas one even though you can turn it up or down still basically starts flaming up at the meat which is on a fixed grill immediately above the burners even on low setting once the fat starts falling into the flames. OK it's a fair amount of hassle getting it going and disposing of the used charcoal and you get covered in smoke but I definitely got better food out of it. Then again maybe it's my fault for not forking out on more expensive gas BBQs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A gas one is just an outdoor oven. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other half went for that yardbird burger you’ve got in the photo. Yeah didn’t last long enough for a photo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted May 31, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Pickled herring (1 mustard and 1 leek flavored), homegrown salad and chives. Spuds are not ready yet so I cheated and bought these. And a lager, because it's hot.

sidcow Posted June 3, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted June 3, 2020 I've bought some Chilli flakes because I'm going to make some Potato Bravas. But just had some beans on toast. I did my usual large dose of Worcester sauce on top to pep them up but then also sprinkled a few Chilli flakes on top in addition. Wow, talk about a transformation. Definitely my new favourite way to do beans on toast. Keep it real people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely my new favourite way to do beans on toast. Keep it real people. Better still, stir the chilli flakes in to the beans when heating them. Or.....melt a load of jalapeno cheese on top of the beans on toast. You can thank me later. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I had German chilli con carne last night for the 1st time Chilli is one of my favourite meals, they don't put onions in it, they did however put sweetcorn in it, like 30 - 40% sweetcorn... So much that it flavoured the sauce and changed the texture Not sure how they can get it so wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
