I came across this a while ago and had to laugh. For the men who like BBQs, its like looking in a mirror

Now that BBQ season has arrived, it is perhaps a good idea to remind one and all of the tremendous significance of barbeques in the fabric of society and why men have barbequed meat from the dawn of civilization. Keep up the good work, men!

BBQ: It's the only type of cooking a real man will do.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

1) The woman buys the food.

2) The woman makes the salad, vegetables, and dessert.

3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill -- beer in hand.

Here comes the important part ....

4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....
5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.

6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

Important again ....
7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine.....
8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes. And most of all ....

10) Everyone PRAISES the man and THANKS him for his cooking efforts.

11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off."
And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.

But I must add - that is not BBQ. That is grilling. One does not "barbecue" something. It's not a verb.

Barbecue is a special type of meat, varying slightly based on where you go.

This should explain it all:

Thanks for posting Stuart! However, as I reread your post I realize that there is one error here. (Don't worry, being from Ireland you would have no way of knowing) but you seem to equate BBQ with grilling out. They are, in fact, two different things. Please see the (previously posted I know) video below:

Darn! Jeremy beat me to it!

haha, so close!

Obviously written by someone who doesn't know the difference between barbecue and grilled meat.

hmmmm......I must be pure Yankee! I'm starting to not like the sound of that!

For the purist there is a difference.. but I think the definition is changing.. or has already changed for most.

But if you have one of these in your back yard, you might be an orthodox believer of historic BBQ.

Amen. We also drink it cold.

Yes. Jan 1st through Dec 31st.

It's okay, Stuart. In Australia a BBQ is grilling our meat outdoors, too and it usually goes just like you said!.

I'll have you know we shoot the meat too!

Yesterday, I thought our house was on fire until I realized that the fella next door was grilling. Maybe I should have offered him a beer?
