    ^^, ^

    Have you any idea how complex that meal was? Simultaneous calamari, cod duijons AND burritos, not to mention chips and sweet corn. That's a bit more difficult than just sticking a hunk of meat on a 'Q'!

    ^^ every Q comes with a selection of salads and veggies… but if it was so easy, why ain’t you doing it?

    Burnt meat on fire aint a British thing. We're more refined than that.

    Yeah but.....My steaks, Lobsters, pork chops, chicken wings or fish never look like "drunk' food..... and its not as simple as it looks, because I BBQ, the veggies and taters and there is some timing and coordinating that so they all come off at the same time.

    So I guess my question is, why complicate it. Get a Q and make life simple....Oh wait. Hard to grill 3 cans of peas or baked beans....

    Please clarify "Refined" so we align on definitions.

    A British gentleman does not cook outside on fire and wood.

    Well, yes, that as well.

    Given Chitty's and Mendip's sterling contributions to this section of the forum, I just can not fathom why there are repeated doubts about our national fare from across the pond and beyond when all they offer up in return are incinerated hunks of meat.

I'm a born and raised California guy and you know the saying, "It never rains in California" and the weather is always excellent so we can be outside in shorts, T shirts and Q year round.

    I had to think about it while I typed this, I haven't cooked food in an oven in probably 20 years and never use a microwave or an air fryer and haven't opened a package of frozen anything or a can of anything (Except some Chili beans for Nachos.....and YES, I melt the cheese and cook them on my Q.....Outside...

    Thanks JP. The next time snubby has a pop I'll blame the British weather.

    Joking aside, it's true that. BBQs just aren't a thing for most northern Europeans because of the weather.

    It felt really exotic the first time I was ever invited to one...

    Visited Manchester have we?

    If you google rainy City, you'll note that only one link on that front page rival's Gunchester and that is Snubbys Seattle and the reason the fat koonts always sat inside Maccy D's instead of Q'ing

    Yeah I gotta say, Snubs does live in the top rated rainy location ( Sorry Snubs). I have been there many a time and every time through it was either raining, misting and bit cold. Way to dreary for my liking probably because I could be outside year round.

    Us Californian folk always used to hear cracks about Seattle. They say if you want to be depressed and off yourself, move to Seattle where you never see the sun again...

    Oh, it's all coming out now.

    What do you call two straight days of rain in Seattle?

    A weekend.
