There is little better than slapping a piece of fresh meat onto a hot grill while in the sunshine. Wearing your apron proudly while you flip burgers with one hand and drink a cool, refreshing beer with the other. The man’s way of cooking, so they say. However over the past decade it seems as though vegetarianism has really taken off as a form of social protest about something or other. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am all for people’s beliefs, I’m an advocate of free speech and the right to believe in whatever you like. But when it comes to barbecues the vegetarians put me in a difficult spot.
How am I supposed to cater for them exactly? Do I cook tofu? Do I even know what tofu is? What about Linda McCartney? Do I cook fruit? Can you even cook fruit on a barbecue? These are the questions that I don’t have any answers to and probably never will. I’ll just ask them to bring their own food.
