bbq: I'm having a BBQ tomorrow, only for 10 of us and I'm after ideas of what food to have. So far, I'm thinking of some french bread, some sausages (any particular type?) and some burgers (ditto?). What other meats are good to have. Also, any suggestions for salads and side dishes? Basically, I've never done a BBQ before, so any ideas would be great!|||Potato salad is always good, easy to make or the deli at your local market will have a few to choose from. Baked Beans are great as well, Bush brand has many great flavors to choose from. Chips and dips, along with great condiments for the sausages - sauerkraut for the sausage for sure, diced onions, relish and mustard - get a spicy brown and a regular yellow mustard. Try serving the burgers on cibatta rolls, onion rolls or whole wheat. Serve something unique for the burgers, get creative.

With a banana still in its skin, cut a slit down the length of it (not the whole way through- sort of envelope like). Into the slit push some chocolate and mini-marshmallows. Wrap the banana in tinfoil and throw onto the barbi. After about 15mins you have the most amazing, gooey, delicious dessert. Or... sandwich a marshmallow and a square of chocolate between 2 digestive biscuits. Wrap in tinfoil and again, put onto the bbq for a few minutes (keep them to the side, where it is warm but not too hot)|||toast the french bread on the grill with some garlic butter!yum- i love brat, burgers are always good with all the trimmings! marinade some boneless chicken in those grill mates marinades- they're all good! serve cole slaw, macaroni salad, potao salad, pork n beans, grill corn on the cob on the grill in the husk!|||Deviled eggs are great. Also "Onion and Apples" get one onion (white or yellow) one apple cut each of them into quarters put butter and salt on them, put them back together, mixing them up (example... 1 quarter of the apple, then one quarter of the onion next to it) and so on... wrap it in aluminum foil and put on the grill til they are cooked and a little soft. It turnes out to be yummy. Brats are good for a BBQ.|||Leg of lamb steak. Chicken wings. Skews of diced beef and mixed veg of green pepper, onion, mushroom. Coleslaw.

Firstly you need to do all your salads and side dishes in advance. It you are making all you own you need to start early. Potato salad is easy but I prefer to do Jacket spuds. 10 decent sized potatoes in your oven wrapped in foil and put them in about an hour before you start other cooking. Make a huge mixed salad loads of lettuice cucumber tomatoes and I always pretty a salad up with some cooked red peppers [easily available in a jar ready done] some Feta cheese cubed and some olives. French bread is always a good one but alot of people love garlic bread so cut a French stick down the middle and crush a few cloves of garlic and mix with butter. Spread this mix liberally into the bread wrap in foil and put in the oven for 20 mnutes along with your potatoes. Coleslaw is always popular but I would in your case buy it ready made. Make sure you have all your cold drinks in the fridge for a few hours at least and make masses of ice cubes and store them. Sausages! do not buy cheap ones as they are full of fat and will turn your barbi into a blazing inferno as will cheap burgers. Too late maybe now to make your own burgers but next time think about it. I would do some chicken as well but a word of advice give your guests ynderdone chicken and you will give them a couple of days in the bathroom. Best bet is chicken breasts and since your oven is on put them in a baking tray for about three quarters of an hour and just finish them on your barbie. You can start to get fancy and learn about marinades but this time keep it simple and you can get some really nice salad dressings and some sauces to put on your cooked food. So get up real early and hit the supermarket having done your shopping list tonight. Make sure you have good charcoal. Get everything prepped up before your guests arrive so all you have to do is cook the meats. Enjoy!|||BBQ on the outdoor grill - Videos: 21.
