🔥 Get your grill on, Britain! 🍔🥓
What’s sizzling on the nation’s BBQs? According to the latest survey, everyone still loves the classics—beef burgers, pork sausages, and a side of fresh salad reign supreme at the top of the BBQ list. But hold on, it seems Brits are also spicing things up with a bit of BBQ wild side!
Top-tier treats like chicken skewers, chicken burgers, and classic sides—think chips, coleslaw, and corn on the cob—are lighting up the BBQ scene. At the same time, a few curious contenders like kofta kebabs and grilled courgette, found themselves sparking some debate in the bottom ranks.
Despite our infamous British weather, it looks like nothing can stop us from firing up the grill. A whopping two thirds of us have braved a BBQ in the rain! So, what’s the secret to an unforgettable BBQ? Almost three quarters of us say enjoying food outdoors simply makes us happier. The magic mix of good food, sunshine—or a sprinkle of rain—and great company is what makes these gatherings a staple.
BBQs aren’t just about food! Nearly 87% of folks agree they’re the perfect way to bring friends and family together, making memories you’ll always cherish.
The survey, backed by Calor, revealed an impressive openness to try new things, with 45% of us willing to toss pineapple spears or halloumi slabs on the grill. And it’s not just about the food on our plates anymore. People are investing in their gardens and mastering creative new recipes for their BBQ parties.
Reality TV star and barbecue fan Ryan Libbey summed it up perfectly: “BBQs mix tradition with a touch of experimentation. Burgers and sausages are classics for a reason, but everyone loves a personal twist!”
