Yes I do tend to buy it when there is a special offer on or the counter where things need to be eaten as they are near their sell buy date. You can get some real bargains then. The last joint I bought was £7 and that was half price! It was lovely though, we had the last of it yesterday, so it's all gone now.

Yum yum
remember my sis telling me they went for a barby at a couple local to them in germany, where they had a hog spit roasting, they were just about to help themselves when the police arrived arrested the couple & confiscated the hog
seemingly in some parts over there its illegal to kill those animals

There's a local hill farmer up here who does spit roasts at all the events. Lush!
We also have a continental market once in a while. There is a stall that sells German hotdogs etc. The sausages are cooked on a MASSIVE round grill, but what I love is the Heath Robinson mechanism that they have in place to lower the grill and raise it from the coals. It's too cool - and probably an insult to call it Heath Robinson.
I would love one like that for my garden!

When my Dad lived in England, he had a specially dedicated wheelbarrow, just for BBQs. When it started to rain, we'd wheel the BBQ into the garage! It was such a good idea, as our bbqs were very frequent and normally for enormous gatherings!
