Fairs: Barbequing

By Ian Kleine

Ever wondered what a good grill material would be for a fair?

There are lots of things to consider for a barbie. For one thing, you'd have to get the general consensus that the people involved in your "eat-out" would love the barbecue.

For one, offer variety. There are meat lovers, and there are vegetarians. You probably would have your share of people like this in your life. So when you have the time, go out shopping and have a few hands to bring in your goods. They could even choose what to buy, so that when the time comes for the barbecue, you'd have no hassles left to discuss whatsoever.

The second, is to decide when to start the barbie. At least have one person man the grill while the others are out for fun and for sight-seeing. If this was a family trip, at least have dad or mum handle the grill. Or generally anyone who is more interested or tuned into the idea of grilling as fun rather than walking around and exploring the sights to see.

That person should be able to cook as well, unless you want to come back to a meal with nothing but blackened pieces of charcoal. Meat is generally the safest of the bunch, as it cooks long and is tough. Just avoid bringing in lean meat or anything that is rather expensive if the cook is a novice. Tough meat is much more harder to spoil when grilling.

Fish is in the consensus of a fast-grill type of food. And so are shrimps and prawns (which are usually found in cocktails). Lobster requires a grill-oven for nice cooking, and any other seafood should have it's own cooking process.

Go for the open areas so you wouldn't bother anyone with the smoke, and make sure to clear the grill of any live charcoal too. Go for safety.
