The season of the male preserve, the Barbie!
As a reasonably good cook, I have to admit my attempts at a bbq are laughable.
I can't light it or get the heat right when I do.

It takes enormous amounts of practice, unless you have a natural talent. After decades of BBQing mine are often over or underdone.

I Light mine with kindling and it is easy. I abhor the smell of the bloody lighting fuel people use. If they cant taste it, I can.
As an aside, my son in law is vegetarian which he treats as a religion. So I bought a small gas Barbie which was just for his crap qorn burgers or artificial kebabs, whatever.
One evening a friend and I had steak, and since it was a lovely evening used the little gas jobbie to cook it, it was great.
A couple of weeks later SIL came, and we cooked. He reckoned his vegie burgers were the best he had ever tasted.!

A little poem about a vegetarian wot I remember from Lilliput magazine - probably with a cartoon illustration:
Roger
Our lodger
Eats piled-up plates
Of nuts and dates.
Mother says it's quite in order
She calls him our herbaceous boarder...

Why do Veggie's have to have vegtables made to look like meat?
I ordered various veggies dressed as meat from sainsburys....Sausages/burgers, that sort of thing....
They were foul ....the dogs dined heartily!

I've often wondered about that... from nut 'cutlets' to various fake 'joints' to TVP mince... oc course the nemesis for many of them is bacon. My family vegetarian has confessed to me that she has erred, over a bacon sandwich - but not to tell her old man...

 Just unearthed this picture, showing that we used two barbies, not un, but deux (Memories of Monsewer Eddie Gray) Date was some time in mid-late eighties... |

No - that was a young lady who moved in with me for about seven years... she'a married now, and I have no contact, because hubby is the jealous sort... bloody idiot. This was the second Mrs Scorp:  The one in the towel was Charley,our Cairn. |

Seems an awful long way to go for a rejection!
