‘Tis the season, as they say, for some backyard grilling. It always seems like a good idea to fire up the barbie but imagination and reality can be so very different from one another. Since moving to Mallorca I’ve tried to get into barbecuing, but my husband insists that we have a wood fire rather than one of those easy gas grills. “It tastes better”, he says, but because they are such a pain to start, light and maintain we hardly ever actually have a BBQ. So we probably need some practice. When we lived back in that London barbecuing was a “once in a blue moon” event. We were wimps, we wouldn’t stand out in the miserable August drizzle and burn sausages, no, we preferred to stick them in the oven and do something more interesting instead. I remember one Christmas Day, during terrible weather, we were put to shame by our South African neighbours who were spotted standing around a supermarket shopping trolley in their back garden improvising a “braai” whilst keeping a constant torrent of water at bay with an umbrella.
