Yes, I see that all the time. But I refuse to go with the flow. Not worth having points and fines.

When my children were small,I bought malt and cod liver oil and tried to get them to have a spoonful each day.
I had to give up after a few days as they hated it and I felt sorry for them.
I left the jar in the back of the cupboard and was surprised to find it empty about a week later.
I didn't say a word,I just replaced the empty with a full one.
After that I replaced the jar many times,never mentioning it.
I think it must have tasted better when they were sneaking it.

Bloody BBQ's. I hate them. I like to know my food is well cooked and no insects or flies in the room. Every summer you get the whiff of some idiots
close by doing a garden BBQ.

I agree Brother in law in Belgium has an elaborate brick built BBQ and the space to accommodate the family which always includes a BBQ meal. You sit for hours to wait for a chicken wing or sausage. For another brother in law's sixtieth party spare ribs were included, a dish of cooked spare ribs was placed before said brother in law and he promptly scoffed the lot !

The best thing about them is that you get to sit outside with people you like (mostly). The food is ok at best, especially if you don't eat meat. On that cooking programme they have on Saturday mornings a viewer asked the chefs there yesterday what vegetarian food can you do on a barbecue. They were visibly flummoxed and muttered something about roast veg, as if no one's ever thought of that idea before.
Our downstairs neighbours used to have barbecues on their balcony, which was just big enough for the grill. It seemed the worst of both worlds - barbecued (ie, burnt and partly cooked) food eaten while inside.

You can still sit outside with "people you like, mostly" without having to suffer and endure poorly cooked or uncooked food I too watched Saturday Live, someone also phoned in to ask how to BBQ a whole leg of lamb!. The answer was "long and slow" If my brother in law decided to do that he would need to start a month before our visit !!! I should add that I have had some delicious fish BBQ'd in aluminium foil, similarly bananas

I fully agree, and the best bit of sitting outside etc is after the food has gone. You do need the food to prepare for that though.
