Thanks, August. If I can get one of my neighbours to get it right, I would be happy. :cool:

I thought this was another football thread :lol:

Very Close. :lol:

If the British can master barbequeing they may revive the empire. I'm just saying...

:huh::o:stare:

I'll have you know that I can indeed cook, and rather well actually. :arrgh!:

I reckon we should revive the empire anyway...:)

Thing is BBQing isn't that hard....you just need to prep.

Most brits get the burgers straight out of the freezer and bung em on the barbie so they cook on the outside melt a little on the inside so need microwaving to make them safe.

You must be thinking of Russel's Ribs. I wasn't too impressed with them. Have eaten their once and never went back.

My candidate for best Barbeque is Flynt's in West Oakland, Ca. Best ribs, hot links,sauce and corn bread around. When I used to work night cutovers in Oakland, we used to go down there for shopping bags full of food. Nothing like being the only white guy for miles around. Got me prepared to do night cutovers in south-central LA and Compton. As far as cooking your own, My old man's technique was to sliver a clove of garlic or two, insert the slices into the meat, then marinate in a sauce of 1/3 soy sauce, 1/3 red wine & 1/3 olive oil for about 4-6 hours before throwing it on the grill. Keep the coals hot but have a squirt bottle handy to keep the flames down. Also score the fat so it cooks up crisp and adds to the flavor of the meat. I once ate at a barbecue/steak house in Phoenix, AZ calld Pinnacle Peaks. There, if you order a steak well-done, they bring you an old boot on a plate. I prefer mine seared on the outside and bloody on the inside, but then I was a butcher in high school.

The best rib house around here is:

WES' RIB HOUSE,. 38 Dike Street in Providence

The wife and I had a barbecue last night, some chinese ribs and a couple of rump steaks with salad rice and a couple of very chilled bottles of white grenache - very nice :O)

Sounds like you cooked it right. :sunny:

mmm....... Here it is a rainy Saturday morning and I'm hungry for some baby back ribs, tattie salad, roasted corn on the cob and a frosty margarita.

The very best thing about BBQ'ing is...... its Mens Work.
:cool:

Well I just cooked some damn good spare ribs. Suck that, english cooking doubters! :D:D:D:D

My neighbour has been reading up how to cook on a barbecue and is ashamed he got it wrong all these years, he puts it down to the great British tradition. Any way on Sunday he is going to give it a go, that is to say the correct way to cook. :)

Well I had one today, homemade burgers, cumberland ring and a nice bottle of Black Isle Brewery organic Heather Honey Beer.

Anyone got good burger recipies?

I get nice beef mince and grate onion and use that as a binder.

Also lamb and beef burgers are nice. I add a dash of pepper and a little salt.

Wondering what I can do to make them interesting.
