Let Them Eat Steak: The BBQ Store’s Guide to an Unforgettable Birthday Barbeque
Let Them Eat Steak: The BBQ Store’s Guide to an Unforgettable Birthday Barbeque
Intro: Whether you’ve been roped into cooking on your own birthday, or you’re organising a loved one’s party, nothing says ‘celebration’ more than a delicious BBQ feast. Just because you’re getting older, it doesn’t mean your barbeque skills have to get rusty! You bring the balloons, and we’ll bring fresh inspiration with this fool-proof guide to a feast you’ll never forget.
Appetisers: Let’s face it… nothing is worse than the sound of grumbling stomachs at a birthday party. You can’t leave a bad taste in the mouth of your guests before they’ve even had a bite to eat! The antidote is simple – appetisers. Without filling them up before your mouth-watering BBQ, these ideas are simple and festive.
- Grilled Vegetable Skewers: This guilt-free idea marries the flavours of your favourite vegetables with the natural taste of charcoal-cooked meals, giving your guests a taste of what’s to come. Our collection Cyprus Grill BBQs and skewers are must-haves to perfect the art of this appetiser.
- Garlic Prawns: Lanes Garlic Rub is perfect for seasoning this Aussie classic. Ready in a matter of minutes, garlic prawns need to be at the top of your list for BBQs.
- Grilled Bruschetta: Perhaps you prefer something a bit heartier. In our humble opinion, warm, grilled bruschetta is the best birthday present you could give. Simply toast sliced baguette on a Bugg BBQ and crown with fresh tomatoes, basil and vinegar. Need a punch of flavour or unique twist? We have countless sauces that are guaranteed to impress.
Mains: The appetisers are a piece of cake (pun intended) but we all know our guests won’t stay full for long. Like lollies raining out of the pinata after the 100th hit, good things come to those who wait. Give your loved ones an experience they won’t forget… without giving them the toothache.
- Sausages: Whether you’re prepping a kids birthday party or cooking for a large event, this Aussie staple is a must for hassle-free parties. While this can be achieved on most standard BBQs, why don’t you give the Bradley Electric Smoker a go? Our flavoursome range of Wood Bisquettes will provide an unforgettable punch of flavour.
- Meat Skewers: Picture juicy lamb souvlaki rotating over a BBQ. Or perhaps a Middle Eastern beef kebab appeals to your taste buds. Whatever your preference, our Cyprus Grill or Spinaro BBQ will get the job done, crowning you ‘BBQ King or Queen.’
- Pork: Parties are tricky enough, let alone huge ones! Perhaps you’re planning an event that requires enough food to feed an army. Fear not- succulent, suckling pig and our Dizzy Lamb Zeus Stainless Steel Spit Roaster are the answer to your anxiety. This feast will ensure your guests can go for seconds… and thirds.
Gifts: Believe it or not, that’s the easy part done! We all know how complicated the art of gift giving is. What do you give to the mum who insists she ‘doesn’t need anything’? How about that one friend who seems to have it all. Luckily, the BBQ Store has sourced unique BBQ products from across the globe, including our very own home brands for your convenience. You are very welcome.
- Bargain hunter: We get it. Maybe this present is for the co-worker you talk to about the weather. Perhaps it’s for that one relative you’d rather avoid. These presents will put a smile on their faces without leaving a hole in your pocket.
