Going to recommission the barbie tonight, boys.

I've got the makings of some fine cheeseburgers right here.

Interestingly, when I checked the sell-by date on the plastic cheese-flavoured product slices still in the fridge from last summer, I note that they have a shelf-life of over 12 months. :hehe:

If something has a shelf-life of more than 12 months, it is essentially indestructible and will be as edible in 10 years as it is now. FACT.

Christ knows what's in that stuff. Mostly wax, I think. :-(

It's the only thing for the job, though.

Still an absolute must on any BBQ Burger :eat:

Oh, yes. Real cheese simply won't do at all.

Will you be popping a butt in at the weekend, do you think?

[Viva Prat Vegas]

Will you have the Shish kebabs ?

[Sir C]

Oh, yes. Real cheese simply won't do at all.

Will you be popping a butt in at the weekend, do you think?

:nod: I have added a butt to th'Ocado order, togther with the essentials for injecting it. I'll give it 8 hours on Saturday. :cloud9:

On Sunday I will spitroast a duck.

There will be no nasty foreign muck round these parts, s.

Does that not throw out a fearful quantity of fat?

[Sir C]

Does that not throw out a fearful quantity of fat?

Yes, but afterwards I'll just rack the device up to 500 degrees and that burns any shít off.

[World's End Stella]

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that BBQs are actually pretty overrated purely from the quality of the food perspective. The idea that the charcoal or whatever actually imparts much flavor is nonsense imo. BBQ meat is only better because the higher heats allows you to char it better.

Nope, BBQs are nice because you can sit in the open air with - hopefully - some sun on you and swill beer or G&Ts or whatever. The food just isn't all that. :shrug:

[Burney]

Yes, but afterwards I'll just rack the device up to 500 degrees and that burns any shít off.

You could probably dispose of a body with that thing.

Good wax all the same.

[World's End Stella]

Good wax all the same.

Bacon as well? Cheese *and* bacon are a must on any decent burger. And it must be processed cheese and crispy bacon.

After that it's up to you but for me - ketchup, mustard, mayo, lettuce, onions (raw) and pickles (dill).

I took the young lad to Wow Burger weekend before last. The females had gone to the theatre but clearly neither of us are gay.

Bacon cheeseburger (double of course, they only do double), grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, WowBurger sauce.

It was simply magnificent.

Side order of chilli fries which I miscalculated as spicy fries but in fact they were fries with chilli on top. Quite the beef feast.

Raw onions, pickles, jalapenos all optional extras.

Was it not terribly messy? I must admit that I'm coming around to the idea that less is more when it comes to the fillings of a burger. With an overfilled burger, you end up smeared in greasy filth and with bits of the burger dropping onto your plate/lap/shirt/trousers/dog.

Agreed. It becomes a chore. You dont really need all that **** in there anyway.

As it's the only cooking I do, we seem to barbecue every few days :-(

No. Insanity is what leads to people eating a burger with a knife and fork. That and insanely dated pretense.

Although I'm with you on the overloading bit. Grilled onions and mushrooms is simply a step too far imo.

My BBQ made its 2018 debut yesterday too. I had to eat my (home made) burgers with knife and fork as I don't have a bun with them.

Absolutely delightful, they were. Did some tandoori chicken for my lunch today as well which I'm very much looking forward to.

It's not tandoori chicken, though, is it? Because tandoori chicken requires a tandoor. What you've got there is barbecued chicken tikka style stuff.

Well it's smothered in tandoori paste stuff I made. I even put slits into the breasts to make sure the paste penetrated deep into the meat. Oh yes.

That's the least arousing sentence I've ever read that contains the words 'slits', 'breasts', 'penetrated', 'deep' and 'meat'. :-(

A cheeseburger needs a burger and some cheese, with lettuce or onion for texture and mayonnaise for lubrication.

Any cheeseburger requiring bacon, mushrooms or onion rings clearly isn't a very good cheeseburger.

Shirley ketchup is a must? Mustard I could accept as optional, but not ketchup.

[World's End Stella]

Mayonnaise? You dirty Dutch b@stard.

:nod: Absolutely required. That or burger sauce, which pretty much fulfills the same function.

[Sir C]

There is no need to be rude. No need at all.
