Running club BBQ: hints and tips welcome!

You definitely learn something new every day
I have never heard of a meat allergy but now know about alpha-gal allergy caused by ticks sparking an allergy to red meat
My sister has been vegetarian for 40 years and she would certainly be intolerant (e.g. upset tummy) if she inadvertently ate meat but not allergic
She doesn't care much about cross contamination, her other half is a carnivore and they have a small kitchen
One thing I do note compared to modern day vegetarians is that she has never eaten 'pretend meat' sausages, mince, bacon etc.
In fact she has an objection to these as to her a sausage is not veggie even if it is
She will have eaten veggie burgers but homemade not shop bought
If we bbq she just throws on veg and maybe halloumi and eats all the salads and side dishes
Different strokes for different folks

I wouldn't eat veggie food cooked on the same barbeque as meat ...yuck !

you can bbq slices of haloumi cheese for vegetarians.  But I think that you do need to lay your hands on at least 1 more large BBQ.  Do any other club members have one they can bring?  Surely they aren't expecting you to do it all yourself?

All sounds delicious.
Don't dress the green salad - it will go wilty and sad and it will be fine 'naked' if it's to go with other food.
Just keep one end of the BBQ grill for the veggies and vegans to avoid cross contamination if a meaty sausage sticks to the bars.
