Ahh, The Aussie Summer Barbeque

As we are finally enjoying hot weather and the Aussie BBQ season has arrived, it is important to refresh our memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking as it’s the only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.
When a man volunteers to do the BBQ, the following chain of events are put into motion.

Routine…

• The woman buys the food.


• The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes the dessert.


• The woman prepares the meat for cooking, placing it on a tray 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:

• THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine…

• The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.


• The woman rushes back outside to tell the man the meat is burning.


• He thanks her and asks if she will bring him another beer while he deals with the situation.

Important again:

• THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine…

• The woman prepares the plates, bread, salads, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table.


• After eating, the woman clears the table, does the dishes and takes out the rubbish.

And most important of all:

• EVERYONE PRAISES THE MAN FOR HIS COOKING EFFORTS.
  


• The man asks the woman how she enjoyed her night off. Seeing her annoyed look, he concludes that there is just no pleasing a woman.
