Those nice people at Tesco have sent me a portable BBQ and asked me to promote their BBQ Challenge. Which they have set up to decide which of the sexes is best on the BBQ and presumably flog a few BBQ products as well.
Yesterday I finally unpacked it and challenged wifey to a BBQ cooking contest. But she wasn’t that interested in it.
“Why do you want to burn nice food?
“You are not meant to burn it. There’s a skill involved.”
“Whatever darling. You win.”
Then it started raining. So we put a frozen fish pie in the oven instead. I have to say it tasted very nice and it wasn’t burnt at all.
If you are interested, Tesco’s are looking for recipes that add a creative twist to tried and tested BBQ classics. Just visit the Tesco Real Food site, and enter your great BBQ suggestion. There’ll be a different category each week for 3 weeks (eg kebabs, salads, fish and meat), and they’re looking for the best ideas on how to do something different and tasty on the BBQ.
Enter your recipe name, a description and a photo if you have one. The winners will receive a great gas hamper from Tesco Direct and have their ideas featured on the Real Food site.
