Barbecue for Peace

I have been asked a few times to hold another virtual BBQ. So here we are on a warm sunny evening. After the VE celebrations a Barbecue for Peace seemed appropriate. There has now been peace in Europe for 75 years which is worth celebrating after the carnage of two World Wars.

Anyway the barbecue is warming up and there is a good supply of beers, larger and wines!

So come on in...

Burger, sausage, marinated pork steak, 6 oz steak, kebab or salmon steak? Here's a large glass of Shiraz while you decide...

Another sausage or something different? Does your glass need topping up?

I can't think of any better way to enjoy a celebration of peace than a bbq on a beautiful sunny day.

Eek, this will be my 2nd bbq today but as its guilt free I'll have a sausage with a side salad please. Also, a pint of peroni, thank you.

Edit... I could have worded that better but got massive headache, after the 1st bbq!

Heat, Meat, and 9 Other Surprising Headache Causes🍻 🙄

MichaelJHHeart Star in reply toKoassilator

It tends to be highly processed meats that can cause a headache in some people. The action can be sililar to GTN spray. All ours is organic free range!

I think it was the bbq-ing in the sun that did it!

Brilliant way to end a lovely sunny day.

A barbecue for peace and continuing peace in the world.

May I have a Chilean merlot please to go with a lamb kebab, salad and flat bread. Can it be cooked Greek style on charcoal please?

Cheers and peace to everyone 🥂

MilkfairyHeart Star in reply toMichaelJH

Yes please!

MichaelJH profile image
MichaelJHHeart Star in reply toMilkfairy

All ready. I am always generous with the feta after sending one back for only having one small cube!

MichaelJH profile image
MichaelJHHeart Star in reply toManhattan1

Yes we have. Do you want to have the chicken breast in the side or in a second burger bun? I used to have a mixed grill in a pub where you got 10oz steak, a pork chop, a chicken breast and a jumbo sausage! Could never finish the chips though!
