Re: A typical "Aussie Barbie?"
So I take it from all your very interesting replies that the "typical Aussie Barbie" is just a myth and no different from the "UK POM" barbie. No joke, but in some top restaurants there is, Ostrich steaks, Crocodile and Kangaroo and I presumed that this was part of a typical Aussie Barbie, but I'm sure if it was, you would have informed me. So its just Sausages, burgers, beef steaks with salad. hmm, very interesting

Food at most of the BBQs I've been to consist of burnt sausages and incinerated pork chops, the best BBQs are the ones cooked in the kitchen on the groill and just carried outside to be eaten

The key to making nice food on a bbq is the marinade. There's no point just chucking a bit of plain meat on there and expecting it to taste good (with the possible exception of a good bit of steak).
I did an absolutely fantastic rack of chilli-plum ribs on the barbie the other night. It was fingerlickin' good

We only just bought a bbq a few weeks ago, however I HATE eating outside (flies and other insect bastards) so I will take mines into the house and eat

Re: A typical "Aussie Barbie?"
I think the clue there is the phrase "top restaurants"which are quite a long way removed form your average BBQ. I quite liked crocodile, tastes like chicken, but I've only had it in restaurants. Had kangaroo at a couple of BBQs, but it was mainly there for the novelty value of feeding it to the poms.

We tried some kanga kebabs the other night and it's a very dark rich meat. Will take some getting used to for me.
I'll stick with beef and lamb and chicken for now.

(edit - and I'm talking generally, not necessarily on the barbie)

Very nice, we were in the middle of packing up our villa and had no cooking facilities and were eating disgusting takeaway burgers, so it was lovely to have a nice cooked meal, even the kids loved it. It was at our neighbours so we went back the next day and had left overs for lunch.

It's always better the next day as the sauce has really soaked into the meat/food.
I always make extra so there is some for the next day because of this reason.
Oxtail done this way is awesome. Haven't been able to get oxtail in the UK for years because of F&M , but I saw some in Oz the other day.
Just waiting for my pot to arrive on the ship now then it's happy days.
