There’s more to an Irish barbecue than just damp charcoal…
With thanks to the good guys at Chef, who are constantly making tasty tastier, we’re bringing you a list of all the people you’re guaranteed to meet at every Irish barbecue.
The control freak
This person is as chilled as the coal they’re barbecuing on. If you think you’re getting near those cooking utensils… think again.
The vegetarian/vegan
Generally speaking, veggies are OK… but have any of you guys ever tried to grill tofu?
The ‘no it’s not too wet for a barbecue’ brigade
We all know somebody who just won’t accept defeat, even when a monsoon hits.
Sometimes it’s just better to eat indoors, but don’t tell them.
That person who brings nothing but eats and drinks everything
If you don’t know who this person is, it’s probably you, because there is at least one at every Irish barbecue.
This person is so cheap they take the batteries out of their clocks when they sleep to save on batteries. This person is so cheap, they eat their breakfast cereal with a fork to save milk.
This person is so… you get the idea.
The party starter
This is the person everyone wants at their barbecue. That is, until the next morning, when you’re getting up for work with a very sore head because you had a little too much fun.
The over-eater
‘What’s that? seconds… don’t mind if I do.’ We’ve all been this person at some stage of our lives.
The ‘who invited you?’
Nobody really knows who invited this person, yet they’re there, in the corner, looking shifty.
So there you have it, seven people you’re likely to meet at every Irish barbecue. Now, whose turn is it to buy the burgers?
Brought to you by Chef Ireland, the perfect accompaniment to your summer barbecue.
