Any offers on barbeque type food?

MrsE_2

Planning on a barbeque tomorrow (for my DDs 22nd birthday).

Any offers on barbeque type food (good burgers, sausages, drumsticks, etc).

I bought the Delia Summer Cooking, so I will have a look at that today & get some "different" ideas.

Going to do the usual, jacket pots, salads, pasta salads, rice salads, cheesecake, maybe a fresh fruit salad, that sort of thing.

So any BOGOFs on good stuff?

if i was you, i would try your local butchers, all the ones around where i live will do a good deal on burgers etc, and some sell good value bbq packs

Had a little look today when getting my mums shopping, will get mine later or tomorrow.

How much of everything do you think I will need for 14?

Do you have any access to Makro? They have had some extremely good barbecue packs. I got two £8.99 packs plus some kebabs (labelled okay for barbecues) which easily fed 8 adults, with a vast quantity either burned or left. There was very little 'sides' as well. T

Also, I would always go for cooking less than you think, with a reserve 'just in case' that you could also use up later in the normal way.

Also, I have heard though not seen, that Iceland do some good packs.

Thank you, I was thinking drumsticks would be the best for a barbeque?

What do you think?

No Makro:mad:

Someone at work told me I could get a card easy enough, I should try. Don't know where one is, I think the nearest is about 10 miles.

you can do sweet chilli drumsticks too if you want ..eithers good
if i make fried chicken i buy the basics frozen bags from tescos/sainsburys as they are fine to use, just different sized peices
you can get the basics lamb chops too and could do your own coating with mint and yougurt or something

Iceland do a proper bbq pack, you get drumsticks, HUGE (and gorgeous!!) sausages, and burgers too.

8 chargrill beef quarter pounders, 9 pork and beef jumbo sausages, 8 chicken drumsticks.
