I wondered how many of you, having taken the trouble to take the BBQ along on holiday get exotic with it? Do you just whack a few burgers and bangers on or do you get a bit exotic. Yes, sometimes we do the former but we do try to impress a bit if entertaining our neighbours. Beef kebabs which entail beef cube,(beef skirt) followed by  mushroom, followed by onion, followed by red pepper and repeat until the kebab is completed, the whole thing being placed in a sauce which I make myself and served. We hear a lot of oohs and ahs whilst they are being eaten!  Coca Cola sticky ribs are another favourite and take a little preparation but boy, are they popular. What are your BBQ passions?

    Oh we go exotic but not for our neighbours wink I like to cook things on metal skewers as they cook fairly quickly and evenly. My favourites are chicken with peppers, mushrooms, onions and baby plumb tomatoes, or king prawns along with other seafood.

    I can definitely identify with Pizza, Beer can chicken and lamb kebabs. Never tried baked bananas. The prawns sound yummy! Pancakes? would this be a Cadac by any chance?wink I suppose you could do them on a hot pizza stone.

    Not a Cadac Merve, it's a Cobb. it has a fry pan accessory. 

    Bananas are left in the skin, split open, a sprinkling of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey, wrapped tightly in foil and cooked until the skins turn black and the banana is soft. Lovely with some ice cream.

    As above - bananas - split the skin - slit the banana and crumble some flake chocolate inside and sprinkle with cinnamon and / or honey - re wrap in foil and bbq for 10 - 15 mins. 

    Same can be done with big Bramley apple - cored and void filled with sultanas and drizzled with Kirsch or you fave tipple - foil wrap and bake for 20- 30 mins , CAREFUL THOUGH it will be HOT !!

    Most fruit is lovely, chopped into chunks, cooked in foil with cinnamon honey and brandy.  Great for bananas, nectarines, peaches, apricots or mixed fruit.  Served with ice cream or clotted cream.

    we have a Weber Smokey Joe, great for touring or to take to the beach.

    cooks everything beautifully, slower than the average BBQ and you cook with the lid on, so cooks all round.  Wood chips add to the BBQ flavour.

    A tip for vegetarians.... If using chunks of halloumi cheese on kebabs, soak the chunks in boiled water for 10 mins or so before threading onto kebabs.  Crispy outsides and melted middle once cooked.

    Bon appétit!
