[Closed] last minute veggie barbecue ideas

Corn on the cob. Veggie burgers, veggie kebabs

Veggie kebabs.
Pepper, onion, mushroom, tomato - on a stick 🙂

If he eats fish,- mackerel

Do him an omelette. He'll understand

BBQ'd Garlic Roasted Cauliflower always goes down well. 😉
I usually do it in the oven, then whack it on the BBQ for 10-20 minutes , making sure the BBQ cover is on, let it smoke up! Lovely!

Peppers stuffed with fetta, garlic, chilli, onion and shroom. BBQd haloumi is always a winner

Can't you get some of those burgers made out of foot fungus?

barbie, right? that says kebab - so tofu cubes, red and green peppers, quartered onion and cherry tomatoes on a skewer and doused with flavoured olive oil and grilled, served in pitta bread with coriander chutney (bunch of fresh coriander, 2 or 3 walnuts, garlic, ginger, fresh chilli (no seeds), lemon juice, salt and pepper all blitzed in a blender to what looks like the right consistency)

.. or lie and tell him they are veggieburgers, honest

As a veggie myself, if you really wan't to be nice to him, get a separate disposable BBQ for veggie stuff only.
Kind of useless having some lush veggie food if you have to stick it next to all that manky lardy meat.

Most vegeburgers cook ok on BBQs, but the breadcrumb coated 'vege-quarterpounder' type ones can have a tendency to fall apart. Skewered vege kebabs are good, all sorts of chunks of veg on a stick.

Halloumi and mushroom skewers.... Blummin lush!

Tikka skewers.... Nom nom nom...

Pepper and Feta parcels... Gurt Lush!

Above all, don't be a meat-bore...There are some amazing foods to be eaten as a veggie at the barbecue if only you can use your meat-addled imagination 🙂

Nice one for considering it.
Have fun. 🙂

Hmmm, kinda hungry now.. 😕

I'm sorry, but vegetarianism really does look shite

If he eats fish,- mackerel

No, he is vegetarian. Fish is not a vegetable, ergo, should you include it in your diet, you are not a vegetarian, period.
However, PLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEE let not get into that argument. Sun is out, have a barbie innit 🙂

Pepper and Feta parcels... Gurt Lush!

They look amazing, brilliant side dish for a sirloin!

I usually provide at least two options for Vegetarians when doing a BBQ.

1) Make do 2) or **** off*

*Thanks Jimmy.

Yawn...

I'm only expressing an honest opinion. I mean, that stuff looks ok but its hardly......

is it? 😉

Yawn...

+1

With an added +1 for predictability 😐

You're not allowed two +1's in one post Bravisimo 😛

Yeah Binners, 8 tubes of minced pig C*cks, arse rings and ballcocks, real nice...
Bon Appetit.. 😕

pig C*cks

Let's not bring hora and his beautiful penis into this now.

Anyway, for the OP, anything with halloumi is a winner on a barbie.

Blimey! That was even easier than usual...

Predictable though...

Wow, thats a huge vegetable he caught there... 😉

Actually tandori tuna steaks done on the barby are fantastic for the veggie/but not really veggie brigade

😉

halloumi is fab,
mushrooms with pesto sounds like not copping out to me,
the supermarket quorn burgers especially the piri piri ones are good too,

to be honest any of the above would be nicer for him and indeed your meat eaters than tescos market value pig residue.

Although it's true that a vegetarians by nature shouldn't eat any fish (what with fish meat being , well, meat), don't use the 'fish isn't a vegetable' argument unless you want to look very silly very quickly. Eggs, cheese, apples, etc. also aren't vegetables! 😉

These are really nice and easy to prepare

Most of my veggie mates eat fish. Especially if there's fresh mackerel going on a barbie. Just 'cos you don't like it , there's no need to get touchy.
You don't know what individuals eat until you ask them, many aren't as religious as you. And BTW, check the OP before kicking off in future.

Ummm, not sure I or anyone else in the entire world ever suggested that vegetarians exist exclusively on things botanically classified as vegetables. 😀 I am aware that apples are not vegetables, fruit is the word you're after(if you don't want to look very silly very quickly that is) 😉

Eggs and Cheese? Not vegetables, not fruit, not fish, but vegetarian? Maybe...

Hey! Fish have feelings too, man!!! I think. Actually I'll have to check. I'm not sure they do. Does anyone know? Has someone got a graph or something? Showing a sliding scale of feelings from heffers to mackerel?

I'm not 'kicking off' at all as it happens. Just trying to establish whether or not fish are vegetables much like say, carrots or turnips. I think not, and so I would add that your mates are not vegetarians, what they are if they eat mostly food of plant origin but also some fish I do not know, but vegetarian they ain't. Not trying to be funny or owt, but fish does not perform any part of a vege diet, it just doesn't, its an animal....
🙂

Get a camembert, wrap in silver foil and place on BBQ as it cools down
leave 15mins
dip your crusty bread in - heaven

We can all cut and edit dude. What I said was, FISH is not a vegetable, etc. etc....

My point is that the word vegetarian is not literal, it does not mean exclusively vegetables, of course not. However, it does generally mean food that isn't made out of animals which must die to be eaten. I'm sure you know that already really.

Anyway, good luck with the barbie OP.

They imply it by there comments regarding fish. Or it can be understandably inferred.

Thanks bigbutslimmerbloke, that's an ace recipe, I'm doing those at the weekend!!

You claimed to be [i]just trying to establish whether or not fish are vegetables[/i] .
Why? No-one said it was. Nonsensical bickering.
Your [i]point[/i] was to start a pedantic argument and criticise others' suggestions, and their friends. Does that make you feel vegetabley superior?
Like I said, if you don't like it, don't eat it. You seem to want to define vegetarian, and vegetables, by what you want to eat.
Other options exist.

Blanch some asparagus then stick it on the grill for a few minutes.

Wonderful.

FWIW i once met a "veggie" who just did not eat red meat

A separate barbq is a must as i wont eat from the meat one.
I like fruit [ peaches, nectarines, pears, apples, pineapples who cares] in tin foil parcels, pour in some wine, seal and then steamed on top of the barbq. Everyone likes boozy fruit even fish eaters who claim to not eat animals

TBH barbq's are a poor choice for a veggie and I dont really do them for obvious reasons

Baked potatoes also work brilliantly on BBQ's, wrapped up in some foil and cooking away all discreetly like.

+1 for Asparagus, but herby butter on top is a must 🙂

Personally, for barbecues I generally go with non-meat versions of regular BBQ food; so burgers, sausages and the like. I'm not a fan of over-complicating things. IHMO if you're looking at a BBQ and broccoli thinking "how can I combine these two items?" then you're Doing It Wrong.

Veggie kebabs are a good idea, but I'd want to serve that as a side to something burgerish.

Most of my veggie mates eat fish

Please stop referring to fish-eaters as 'vegetarians,' it's misleading and makes restaurant owners think that a tuna pasta bake is a great "vegetarian option".

As a veggie myself, if you really wan't to be nice to him, get a separate disposable BBQ for veggie stuff only.
Kind of useless having some lush veggie food if you have to stick it next to all that manky lardy meat.

At the risk of sounding precious I'd actually insist on this (and ideally separate tongues etc), or I'd graciously pass up the food offer. The last thing I want is my food garnished with years of encrusted dead cow build-up and then drizzled with molten lard.

I'm only expressing an honest opinion.

what do you think?

most of your mates aint veggies

OP, hope the barbie's worked out good.

you and your PESCETARIAN friends can use words inaccurately if you wish
but it just makes you all stupid 😉

veg·e·tar·i·an? ?[vej-i-tair-ee-uhn] Show IPA
noun
1.
a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.

Sounds like we've got a SHOUTY carnivore in the room. Best cut down on your meat intake fella. 🙂

I'll continue to call them veggies (or hippies as per the OP) if that's how they define their diet

You can call them speedboats for the difference it makes; you (and they) are still using incorrect, misleading terminology. It's akin to arguing that you're a non-smoker, apart from cigarettes.

For bonus points, you're also ignorantly assuming that everyone is vegetarian for identical reasons.

"Vegetarianism is harmless enough, though it is apt to fill a man with wind and self-righteousness."

we are not self righteous on this issue we are just right hence why your defence is simply to attack vegetarians.

You are not wrong though we do have more morals than you 😉

Edit: can't be bothered...
😀

That's touchy.

10 foods to boost your brainpower Enjoy oily fish
The essential omega-3 fatty acids - found in oily fish, as well as fish oil, walnut oil and flaxseeds (linseeds) - are high in DHA, fatty acid crucial to the health of our nervous system. Low DHA levels have been linked to a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and memory loss. Fish also contains iodine, which is [u]known to improve mental clarity.[/u]

Edit: 'cos I think you'll prefer this one from this article "High IQ link to being vegetarian"

There was no difference in IQ score between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarian but who reported eating fish or chicken.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/6180753.stm

I'm no vegetarian but if you eat fish you aren't one either - it's pretty obvious really. I've heard people call themselves vegetarians and it seems to mean they don't really like red meat.

+1 for anything involving halloumi btw

bog off grum, its already 4 against one 😉

Wow, someone's trying hard.

No processed meat for you for a week.

Ah, fish oil. There's a grade one Bollocks Bingo quackery subject.

Try http://www.badscience.net/category/fish-oil/ for starters.

(Oh, and there's considerably more omega oils in flax than fish)

its already 4 against one

Does that not tell you anything?

None of that proves that you are not using the word incorrectly so I think it rather proves my point which I shall not labour even if you wish to

Actually reading your link you are joking right?
From your own link

Maybe that explains why many meat-reducers are keen to call themselves vegetarians when even they must know that vegetarians don't eat chicken, turkey or fish."

It also says veggies have a higher IQ which would explain the self righteousness. I assume we can all work out the wind. 😛

I'm not vegetarian btw. 🙂

Grilled asparagus.
Halloumi and veg kebabs.
Corn on the cob.
Alcohol.

Should keep most veggies happy at a BBQ?

I have seen both sides of the fence. People have interrogated me on my reasons for eating or not eating meat. Basically, just mind your own business. I'll eat or not eat whatever I choose.

Tw*ts.

I once know a vegan who happily wore leather shoes but refused to eat honey. "It's bee slavery".

Nor am I, I am much smugger 8)

Did you consider minding your own business and letting them do what they wanted to do with shoes and bees ?
Imagine saying one thing and doing another ...shakes head in disbelief

I'm not. But I've got lots of friends who are.

proper lol at loum

Hope your GD snaps grum 😉

good night

edit: but you need to watch this

Hope your GD snaps grum

With my svelte figure and smooth riding style that's hardly likely now is it.

Please, won't somebody think of the bees?

I posted this, then realised I was supposed to be leaving early to get out of the office before the road closed for torch related shenanigans... interesting to read the aftermath now I'm back 🙂

Cheers for the all the suggestions guys. For the record, he doesn't eat fish - but then he didn't really eat fish before he turned hippy anyway.

I did some last minute shopping at the hippy grocery store while waiting for some fat bloke to run past with a lantern (on bath road, chelt... locals will know the shop!). Got some veggie burgers that looked reasonable - I don't normally go for that sort of thing; I like veggie food to be *food* in it's own right, rather than a pale approximation of something meaty. Why pretend to eat that you have decided not to eat?

Full menu was:
Burgers (beef, made by me with onion, breadcrumbs, egg, s+p and a bit of cumin)
Veggie burgers (from t'shop)
Mushrooms topped with pesto and parmesan (cooked slow on indirect heat)
Asparagus coated in mustard vinaigrette
Crusty rolls
Salad
Load of Chutney made by her indoors.

I've made myself hungry again!

Sounds blummin lovely Dave Alfabus. Nice one 🙂
