We had our first bbq of the year last week-end as well. Ours was not as classy as yours though : we cooked mergez and drank beer.

It's nice that you're passing your vast knowledge on to your son. Also, it was nice of you to let Jane put stuff on the BBQ. I'm sure she appreciated that quite a bit. Finally, dipping the asparagus in mayonaise was horrible. Is that really done over there?
SteveR 1 year ago

If it's a good-quality mayonnaise made with free-range eggs, then I don't see why not. I wouldn't serve boiled asparagus with mayonnaise, but if it's been barbequed or deep-fried in batter, then it works really well.
Bill 1 year ago

I prefer butter and salt and pepper....maybe garlic butter even.

"In the summer months one of the greatest treats of all is real, proper home-made mayonnaise; a thick mass of unctuous golden ointment, perfect for dipping asparagus into."
-Delia Smith. Are you disagreeing with the sainted Delia, Ed?
SteveR 1 year ago

Gordon Ramsay (lovely bloke) serves asparagus with mayonnaise at one of his establishments:

I'm a garlic butter person myself. The Mayonaise reminds me of when I went to the home of a college girlfriend who lived in the "country". I was asked if I wanted salad with dinner and it was cut-up iceberg lettuce with about a quart of mayonaise stirred into it.

I would have to disagree with Delia on this.
Bill 1 year ago

Suddenly Gordon Ramsay is an ally?
SteveR 1 year ago

He's my new best mate.
SteveR 1 year ago

Actually, he's a twat. He just happens to be right on this issue.

"that's what happens when you pretend you can cook once a year"

your bbq looked amazingly good.

alby is a very fast learner. so manly already!
Buck Flashroy 2 years ago

Good stuff. I'm hungry now - especially after seeing those steaks!

I've tried those barbecue bags before - they're certainly convenient, but I think the real man makes the fire as manually as possible!
Tallulah 2 years ago

There's nothing quite so manly as a Pimm's and lemonade. Looked delicious, though I'm sure you wouldn't mind if I referred you to Gordon Ramsay's method of properly preparing asparagus on a grill.
Andrea Allen 2 years ago

Oh my gahhhd. Did he say "sod it" at :36? That made me laugh so hard, I can't even explain!

And are those really your grills? You've got to be joking. Those look like stools. No self-respecting man would call that a grill.

American BBQ version on the way.
Karen Abad ♥s Dinosaurs. 2 years ago

hahah agreed. I thought they were stools, I thought you guys were gonna sit on them and have tea.

apparently you grilled from them...

...haha.

Jane certainly was a good sport about this, wasn't she? With all of your manly barbeque posturing and all...
Bill 2 years ago

How Jane tolerates the bumbling old fool is beyond me!
Bill 2 years ago

We did the same on Sunday, only our asparagus came straight from the garden. Your manly behaviour around the barbeque was a little suspect and the drinks were totally poofy. Whats wrong with cold lager?
Scruff_E_Guy 1 year ago

lemonade isn't a manly drink? Oh....so THAT'S what I've been doing wrong....

you are GENTLEMEN, in America Men at a barbeque drink way to much cheap beer and fart,barf,smoke,toke,coke,cheat,steal,lie,boast,roast,puke,hurl,Ralph,snort,and shoot.

You need to do a clip of a BBQ in which all of that happens.

mayo on asparagus? really?? gack!
SteveR 1 year ago

Try some at your forthcoming BBQ, you won't regret it. Don't forget the Pimms with lemonade, it'll go down a treat with all those butch Texas men.

Mmmm...that asparagus looked so good!! I can smell it all the way across the pond.

Funny vid! And thanks for the comment (yes, I know it's English, but it also appears to be quite popular in Germany.) And, I had no idea there was a "marmite" channel... the things you discover on the Internet... ;-)
SteveR 1 year ago

I didn't know Marmite was popular in Germany. You learn something new every day.
Bill 1 year ago

He didnt say it was popular!
SteveR 1 year ago

He said it was "quite popular".
Daven 1 year ago

It's true, I did. Although, in reality, I could be totally wrong.
Rich Smith 1 year ago

If thats manly behaviour then Im the 4th Dreg!!!!! By the way, my Mum drinks Pimms and lemonade.
SteveR 1 year ago

The Dregs are a trio. A 4th Dreg is a contradiction in terms.

so british.
asparagus always makes my pee funny.

I reckon that if your son substitutes pink champagne for tinnies of lager he'll be well on his way to an Honourary MBA (Master of Barbeque Administration)
John E 1 year ago

I love asparagus, but I just can't see the mayonnaise working its way into the equation of a proper bbq. Everything else looks great. Personally, I'd replace the lemonade with maybe a southern sweet iced tea, and switch out the pink champagne with a good Hefeweizen, and bob's your uncle.

My fav part is Jane saying you pretend to cook once a year! HA!
SteveR 1 year ago

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Mrs A. Any chance of a "Like"?
Deane Somerville 18 days ago

This is great! You and your son are brilliant.
And mayo on the asparagus? Sounds good to me.
