Actually, one thing I discovered at the last barbecue I went to
Was that buying a pork roasting joint, and hacking into big thick slabs, works really bloody well over the coals.

Easy to do, easy to cook, easy to impress the carnivores.

Good tip good tip,
There's an offer on pork at the moment at the local supermarket.

Trudat.
A good bbq costs the host a fortune in meat.

My rule is that I will do it properly if the invitees bring LOADS of booze. Preferrably so I have quite a bit left.

Better still, our test case had a "reduced to clear" sticker on it
We really looked like we were pushing the boat out.

I'm lucky to live 5 minutes from an abattoir
So it's really cheap for me.

I'd be like like a bull in a butcher's shop.

I managed to get 5 huge stewing steaks, plus 10 pieces of chinese style pork for £10
Absolutely fantastic.

that is a splendid idea
particularly if you slice off the skin and fat and cook a slab of crackling as well

Actually, that was the best part about using a roasting joint
The fat crisped up a treat over the flames, so you ended up with huge thick pork steaks with attached crackling.
