The bbq this afternoon

[JanB]

We don't normally do burgers and bangers on the bbq, but Jackie gave us some homemade sausages and wanted our opinion. They don't do bbq's, as they burn things

Not a bad effort, for the first attempt, but too much sage and too much meat.

They burst open We have some leftover for tomorrow, as we've been asked to fry this lot.

But the onions and chips were lush

Sausages and BBQs are generally a disaster - nobody knows how to cook them.

They are not "meat" so do not follow meat cooking rules, and they are not burgers, so ditto.

I have found them best left till the coals are cooler and done slowly at the end or pre-done in the oven and finished off on the barbie for that smoked flavour.

Not a fan tbh - regardless of the flavourings.

We've perfected the art of white coals for the burgers and bangers WM - these were just too stuffed with meat.

I know what you are saying, Jan, but nobody else does.

Get those flames roaring and burn everything in minutes is the British way to go.
