hello all, i have been busy with school for the last little bit, but now that school is almost over, i am having a barbeque to selibrate and i wanted to know what you like better: hambergers or hotdogs.

I like both.

tandoori chicken

Burgers. Or kebabs. Especially prawn kebabs.

hot dogs are an abomination

but now that school is almost over, i am having a barbeque to selibrate
I think maybe you should spend a little longer in school :p

This is such a stereotype, but my husband is always complaining that 'gringos' don't know how to bbq because they like hamburgers and hot dogs. To him, a bbq is about STEAKS! LOTS OF THEM! And pork ribs, and chicken....

I eat everything...including YOU...

I never said I was an English major.spell check would have picked that up for me. :D

I've never liked BBQ chicken, but steaks and ribs are great. Still, the kid's a student, which means he probably doesn't have enough cash to buy that kind of food and still get enough beer and liquor for the party.

BBQ pork, ribs,chicken, steaks,baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, hot dogs, burgers, sausages,pasta salad, corn on the cob and about 15 desserts and various breads.....


well that is if you come to Peechland BBQ...

Nothing. The only Bar-BQ I've ever liked was my dad's pork chops. I HATE hamburgers and I HATE hot dogs.

I like grilled fish. Oh, and grilled peppers with garlic and crème fraiche are good too.

Shishkabobs. :p Chicken, pineapple, zuccini...

I will give you that...however, being a poor college student hamburgers and hotdogs are the pure basics(well as pure as burgers and hotdogs can be :p )

Sounds like my last BBQ! :D
Sadly it was about 2 yrs ago now :(

ribs or steak

*drools*

for me I like hotdogs. now I don't care whats in them I just like eating them ok :rolleyes:

Are we talking hotdogs as in those things you get at the cinema, or just a sausage in a bun?

Venison.

More Venison.

occasionally Beer Can Chicken.

I eat the following at a barbecue:

1. Cheeseburgers (hehe... can't forget the cheese!)
2. Brats (preferably cooked in beer before tossing them on the grill) with kraut
3. Chicken/ribs (slathered with barbecue sauce)
4. Hot Dogs

hopefully all are available...

accoutrements:

1. Potato Salad or cole slaw
2. Baked Beans
3. Corn on the cob (with about 2 pats of butter per ear)
4. Beer(!)

Give me one or two from the top list and all four on the bottom and I'm going to eat and drink till I drop. I love a good cookout.

a hotdog as in the things you get at the store with 8 or 10 in the package for the regular sized package, or the things you get at a baseball game with katchup, musterd, relish, onions and other stuff like that.

mmmm....can i come to your BBQ


indeed! the more the merrier!

Yeeesh, you can keep them. Had one at the footie the other week. Yuck, will stick with a chicken balti pie...mmm, pie...
Erm...is Katchup Ketchup?

i would imagine so

and if Heinz spells it "ketchup" ... then it's "ketchup" by God!

indeed! the more the merrier!

Bratwurst and Polska Kielbasa.

for great brats, click here:

http://www.klements.com/

if they're not in your supermarket, you can have them shipped to you.

Klements makes a great bratwurst

*Note to non-US folks: a "brat" is a type of sausage... they are generally eaten on a bun, like a hot dog. Sauerkraut and ketchup/mustard generally go well with brats, though they may (of course) be topped to suit your fancy.

-snip-

Those look good.

Fools. Barbecue does not deserve to have its name attached to some outdoor cookout. If you want to have a proper barbecue, you must first get a big barbecue pit (a huge metal grill), and some wood. Not gas or charcoal, wood. Keep the fire low, so that the meat is not cooked by the flame but by the smoke.

The meat should be rubbed in seasonings and then put over the smoke for at least 6 hours until the meat is so tender a baby could eat it. Then, put your choice of sauce and serve with pickles and onions.

Now that's a perfunctory description, but you can get a more detailed plan on the web. However, never, ever call an outdoor grill party a barbecue unless you are actually barbecuing.

Get Nurenberger brats. They're as long as your middle finger, gray, and the most delicious little things you've ever had.

well i hate to admit it but a barbeque like that doesn't exist in many places. sorry :(

Those look good.

Potaria
They are good! My favorite type of brat is the cooked brat, and Klements makes an excellent cooked brat. If you go to "gifts" you can get some... just go down the list to where you see the hyperlinks for the different types of brats/polish sausages. i think there's one in there that offers smoked bratwurst, cooked bratwurst and cheesy bratwurst (think that's it)... they give you 6 of each.

that sounds (to me) like a great brat starter package.

I love hamburgers, but it's just too much work to do cheese, onions, pickle, lettuce, etc., so I only eat 'em at restaurants. At BBQs, I eat hotdogs.

well i hate to admit it but a barbeque like that doesn't exist in many places. sorry :(

There are at least 3 or 4 barbecue restaurants where I live.

I think I have to agree here. You can't have a "BBQ" with *only* hamburgers and hot dogs. Hamburgers and hot dogs is called a "cookout". A BBQ requires any number of other foods: steak, brisket, pork, chicken, brats, sausage, beans, coleslaw, bread and iced tea. THATS a BBQ. If you only have hamburgers and hot dogs, it is a cookout.

If you are having a cookout, then hamburgers would be my preference.

Now I want hotdogs damnit.

What he said, grill boys.

And ribs, that's my favorite.

Amen!

I'm originally from Texas, and calling a cookout a BBQ is close to fighting words. ;) Ya'll back east BBQ differently, but at least its real BBQ.

Unfortunately it's nigh impossible to do here in Japan. Not a pit in sight, and not hardly near enough room to keep one. :( There are a few restaurants around that manage a halfway edible version of BBQ - Hard Rock Cafe, Bubba Gump, Outback Steakhouse, and Tony Roma's, as well a few local places. But
a good Korean Yakiniku (Bulgogi) place is usulally a better bet for getting good meat.

As for cookouts like the OP described, brats, chicken, steaks, assorted seafoods, and lots of Korean "yakiniku" style grilled meats. For fixings and sides: usually some kimchi, a good assortment of mushrooms and veggies, rice balls, and beer. Gotta have beer. Lotsa beer.

i dont go to bbqs they make me nauseuas because of all the meat smell

South American style.
Europeans and USians do not have the faintest idea of what a good 'churrasco' is. Steak, ribs, more steak, chicken, more steak, 'costela de doze horas' more steak etc.

Hmm, yeah, but that is not technically barbeque food, it's grill. I know what you are talking about though.

Burgers, ribs, steak, mmm I eat it all

Barbecue in the South means pork. Pork roast, pork loin, pork ribs, pork chops. Chicken, if you are vegetarian.

Chicken, if you are vegetarian.
um....

Anyone here head of porksteaks? That's what I usually have at a BBQ I also like Ribs though.

Veggie burgers or veggie dogs!

And if neither are provided, then I will contendedly munch on side dishes.

um....
It was a joke. Gee whiz. Although, I've met more than a few vegetarians that eat eggs. How does that work?

Eggs aren't killing an animal, they're not fertilized when you get them from a farm.

"what do you eat at a Barbeque?"

In most of the South, barbequed pork.

In most of the West, including Texas, barbequed beef.

Either is fine with me! :D

The real question isn't what meat to grill, but how to prepare it. Do you use a rub, or do you use sauce? Tradition in Georgia seems to be sauce, but I really like a dry rub on ribs. Especially when it has a little cayenne in it.

Eggs aren't killing an animal, they're not fertilized when you get them from a farm.
just cause the farmers keep chickens penned up and just kill off all the roosters, except for smaller local places, but then your killing a chicken

ps i realized that the person wasnt being serious abute the chicken for vegetarians but i didnt get the humour in it

just cause the farmers keep chickens penned up and just kill off all the roosters, cool local farmers, but then your killing a chicken

ps i realized that the person wasnt being serious abute the chicken for vegetarians but i didnt get the humour in it
We don't have too many vegetarians out here. A vegan friend visited once and we went to the local restaurant. He asked for something without meat. The waitress immediately mentioned the fried chicken. I guess it was kind of a private joke.

hot dogs first. i will only eat a burger if it's not dripping juice. also, i won't eat burgers if they are pink ANYWHERE. if it's pink i WON'T eat it. :eek:


:)

Kosher hot dogs are pretty darn good. We have a local barbecue restaurant that serves them. Almost as good as pulled pork.

Veggie burgers or veggie dogs!

veggie dogs *shudder* those are really terrible tasting

Eggs aren't killing an animal, they're not fertilized when you get them from a farm.

But, if you are a strict vegetarian they are, however, chicken periods. Enjoy. :)

You're not killing chickens to get eggs... I always figured the roosters got sold to people who wanted to wake up at the crack of dawn, and if they're getting killed, I'm guessing they're becoming food for other people to eat... which would be happening anyways.

It really depends on the brand. I find yves is good.

I live off them when I go camping. All you need is a stick, a fire and a piece of bread. yum.

You City People...You have to have a rooster or two around the chickens. They won't lay, otherwise.

Sausages, Steak, Dad's Rissoles (Hamburgers for real men), Kebabs, Potatoes, Onions etc. Almost any meat that can be charred and still taste good. Has to be burnt for a BBQ
Out of curiousity what do vegetarians eat, or do you just not show up because it's almost all meat?

Chicken wings. Mmmm....

Just read that utter crap about BBQ's only being fire pits and some other crap. You call an Australian BBQ an 'cookout' and we will laugh at you for hours
Australian BBQ's are cooking as much meat as possible outside while drinking, then eating it a bit burnt baecause you were paying attention to drinking, not cooking.

If its Meat i eat!
If its Pasta its Fasta! :D

Churrasco! There're a few decent places over here. My fave is one run by a staff of only Brazilizans - no Japanese. ;) My Brazilian friends tell me it's the real deal.

The etymology of the term is vague, but the most plausible theory states that the word "barbecue" is a derivative of the West Indian term "barbacoa," which denotes a method of slow-cooking meat over hot coals.
http://xroads.virginia.edu/~CLASS/MA95/dove/history.htm

The Australian and Yankee usages are corruptions.
Regardless of the exact etymology, I do not know anyone who is willing to claim the word is not of American origin. (Note: that is American, and emphatically not USAian!)

Same here in Finland and we only eat sausages, that way the women can't confuse us with shopping lists and such. Sauna, beer, mosquitos and sausages in that order.

The last barbeque I had, I ate king prawn (which you yanks call "Shrimp"), Haggis and roast potato.

Careful when calling a USAian from the south a yank. It's akin to calling a Scotsman an Englishman....

;)

Im sorry, but I always thought of a BBQ as a BBQ... You know, cole slaw, beans, ribs, various BBQ meats. But that could be because im from the south. (best food in the world)

well, I'm a veggie, so technically neither.

I do however cook Quorn burgers, tofu hot dogs, Quorn steaks, Quorn chicken-esque fillets, Quorn Ribs....

so is that both?

ahhh! i could never live without meat, i love it too much :p

i like both, but if i had to pick one it would be burgers. nice and thick, juicy with some onju sauce and mustard and cheese and lettuce and a big side of macaroni....ugh, im hungry now....

sausages.

sausages.

links or patties?

Wtf... Ive never heard of that. Can you tell me what Quorn is?

www.quorn.co.uk

It's a flavoured, texture fungal based protein.

Sounds grim, but it's pretty good.

I was once like you. But there is a tremendous amount of fake meat - steaks, burgers, pies, sausages, pork pies, mince, chickeny fillets, nuggets, cocktail sausages, fish fingers, the list is almost endless

I'm not fussy, any editable meat is fine by me.

I was once like you. But there is a tremendous amount of fake meat - steaks, burgers, pies, sausages, pork pies, mince, chickeny fillets, nuggets, cocktail sausages, fish fingers, the list is almost endless

but do they taste as good? i couldnt see how a fake steak could taste like a real steak...

Other:

Steaks, grilled fish, chicken, bratwurst (yay!) and schaschlicks.

...schaschlicks...

a wha? what the heck is that? :confused:

but do they taste as good? i couldnt see how a fake steak could taste like a real steak...

yeah, they do actually taste good. I was surpised too.

The fish things are a bit dodgy, but ketchup sorts that.

And some of the burgers and sausages my meat eater friends couldn't tell - they tasted like cheap burgers apparently

Italian sausages split and grilled, served on a toasted semolina roll with red & green peppers and vidalia onions.

Lamb chops, roasted red peppers & asparagus.

Grilled Flank steak marinated in oil,vinegar & a little teriyaki-served veryrare and sliced very thin.

Grilled Tuna steaks- served rare with lemon.

Shrimp on skewers with red onion, pineapple and light citrus marinate.

yeah, they do actually taste good. I was surpised too.

The fish things are a bit dodgy, but ketchup sorts that.

And some of the burgers and sausages my meat eater friends couldn't tell - they tasted like cheap burgers apparently

heh, its funny how ketchup can make almost anything taste good :)

ive had a veggie burger before, it didnt taste bad but it wasnt the same to me...

Neither. Sausages and steak. And chicken. If I'm pushed, lamb grillsticks too.

yeah, they do actually taste good. I was surpised too.

The burgers are quite burgery, but the sausages are an abomination.

There's also Swedish balls in there-its like soylent green!
I must admit-I'm terribly deficient in the "fungal based protein" area.

Same here. We put on some music, plenty of beer on ice. kids in the pool, Drink,grill,laugh.

The burgers are quite burgery, but the sausages are an abomination.

yes, the Quorn sausages are dreadful. I buy Cauldron Tofu sausages. Much, MUCH better.

a wha? what the heck is that? :confused:

My bad, fucked up the spelling.

It´s actually called a "shashlik" which is pretty much the same as a shish kebab.

Kosher hot dogs are pretty darn good. We have a local barbecue restaurant that serves them. Almost as good as pulled pork.


pulled pork with hickory BBQ sauce on a toasted hard rolls is damn good.
Just add corn bread,potatoe salad and beans

BBQ pork, ribs,chicken, steaks,baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, hot dogs, burgers, sausages,pasta salad, corn on the cob and about 15 desserts and various breads.....
well that is if you come to Peechland BBQ...
Invite me over some day? ;)

Meat. Pork's belly and neck (Bauchfleisch & Nackensteaks). Mmh. :rolleyes:
Not to forget German beer to make all the meat swim in my tummy :p

But I would eat your hamburgers & hotdogs as well, a nice Bratwurst on the side, potato salad - DAMMIT! Now I'm hungry :D

I usually have one of each or two hot dogs & a hamburger. BBQ food tastes oh so much better.

Konnichi Wa! I'm so excited, i'm going to see GC!

Wtf... Ive never heard of that. Can you tell me what Quorn is?

A "mycoprotein" meat substitute made from a vat-grown fungus. It's been available in Europe for more than a decade. It's supposed to be better than soy-"meats", but there is some scepticism about it.
