Topic: The Manly Art of Barbeque

Ah, there's nothing quite like cooking up a meat feast over some hot coals!

We haven't even used our BBQ yet. Got it a couple of months ago and it's sitting outside waiting to be used.

Don't forget the cool beverages.

Goddammit!

I can't see the images.

This is driving me nuts!

Looks perfect Kall... except what's that green crap doing near the meat!? And dude, you need a bigger, stronger refrigerator.

Why is it such a manly thing?? I hate it when I start cooking on MY BBQ and the stupid male flatmate comes out and just takes over.

If I started cooking on the stove he'd be no where to be seen!

Mind you he laughed on Saturday night when I started cooking on the BBQ and it then rained on me! Had myself a little bonfire going for bout 30 secs, nothing like flame grilled chops!

The green crap was my flatmate's strange idea.

The guy also decided that it would be nice to have peas and corn with his roast chicken...so he poured them in...with the chicken as it roasted.

He doesn't cook much does he?

Kall - Can you please correct the typo I made in the Thread title? And keep that guy away from the grill - he's crazy!

Not exactly. In caveman days, men dressed in animal skins and cooked meat over an open fire. He carried a stout club, and took no nonsense from anyone - man, woman, or beast!

You see I always thought the cave man sat around and did nothing, while the female was the one who did everything and took no nonsense... all the pictures I have seen show the female dragging the male around after clubbing him... probably dragging him home from hanging out with his mates or something!

A common misconception. The caveman foolishly allowed the cavewoman to paint silly, inaccurate pictures on the walls of the cave. Little did he realize this would become "history".

Now I'm thinking you are mixing cavemen up with the eyptians or whoever they were that painted/etched drawings into the walls of the pyramids.

Could it be that the cavemen were in charge of the barbeque as they were the only ones capable of extinguishing it (accurately) when it was time to put the fire out before it spread to the surrounding grasslands?

Pssst there is the primitave stick figure throwing spears at the woolly mammoth cave pictures from that era.

Then we had the Egyptian's with their more fancy drawings telling complex stories.

Now we have taggers......

Isn't interesting how somethings can come full circle in evolution?


CLARIFICATION NOTE: I am only at the taggers.... "bomb" art in the appropriate place with the owner's consent is something completely different to me.

what makes these cavemen the only ones capable of extinguishing it? they pee on it or something??

(btw I am making myself sound like some major femminist thing here but I'm not really! I just like asking the questions...)

I was waiting for someone to correct me about the drawings lol. but shhhhh Mr Trogg, you are putting holes in my defense!

yeah taggers suck. Where I live are terraced apartments and when they were building it the taggers came and tagged someones place (not mine thank goodness) it was fairly annoying. And the as you drive to Botany one day they had gone a tagged every single new garage along the road, I was so annoyed.

Sorry, I didn't mean to spell it out so plainly.... I was trying to be polite since it is the Cooking Board
