I've never really been a kitchen princess, and I probably won't be. I mainly cook because there is a need to eat (preferably somewhat healthy too). It's not his biggest hobby either. At least, until summer arrives again. Mister loves BBQ'ing. Like all men I believe – do they sometimes have an extra barbecue gene? But what do you do when you invite a party of friends for a BBQ at home? You can organize yourself, but then you will still be in the kitchen for a long time. You can also rent a BBQ, I'll tell you how we liked it!

No matter how much they hate cooking, behind a barbecue every man turns spontaneously into a master chef. Or so they think. You won't hear me complain about that because it saves me (certainly in this way) a few hours at the counter, just like with the Buffetten Boer. And admittedly; I also like meat best when it comes from a grill and can be eaten outside. Less fat, so that's also a plus!
And then after the BBQ, enjoy a few hours at a fire with all the friends while the kids play and swim together. It doesn't get any better than this! Unless you still have to clean up all the mess! Good news… if you have a BBQ delivered to your home from De Barbecue Boer, you won't even be bothered by that. They will just pick up all the dirty dishes again 😉 .
Who is behind the BBQ is never up for discussion with us (hubby). Whoever has to go to town and country for shopping doesn't have to (you can guess 3 times). Anyone who has ever organized a barbecue knows that most of the work is not in grilling the meat. And that the most fun is not in stocking up the groceries… But with a barbecue package that you order online you really only have the lust and not the burden of a summer barbecue. That is, if you buy enough Chardonnay yourself, because the drinks are not included. But hey, if I'm good at something, it's the latter 😉 .
The Chardonnay even tasted so good that after a game of dice, friends of ours decided to stay the night instead of driving home 😉 . A nice idea by the way… they had a die with 'who is cooking today'. Instead of cooking, it was only necessary to read 'drive'. Both partners roll the dice together and the outcome determines which of the two drives home. Or who will quickly get some sleeping stuff and then also have a nice drink!
What is never in dispute is who is going to eat all those delicacies. Except maybe who gets that last burger. With 10 friends and just as many kids, our BBQ party had about twenty mouths to feed. Kids first you understand that, especially at the time the BBQ was delivered to us. They were supposed to come at 17.00, but unfortunately it was only 18.05 that the BBQ was delivered to home. Back then there were already many children who hung from my (proverbial) skirt to check when they could now eat. I'm sure you understand. But to be fair, the supplied gas barbecue was a professional device that grilled the first burgers in no time!
You can of course make it as crazy as you want. We opted for the luxury BBQ package, but you can also go for a basic package or a meat and fish barbecue. There are even vegetarian, halal and gluten-free menus! There really is something for everyone, because you can order all the packages together. The Barbecue Boer brings everything neatly to your home. And we really mean everything; from a gas barbecue to crockery. Oh, and a lot of kilos of meat and salads, baguette and satay sauce of course.
You don't even have to do the dishes yourself, because our new favorite farmer also takes all the dirty dishes with him when he comes to pick up the BBQ. Salads, baguettes and sauces are homemade (somewhere on the barbecue farm I assume). The meat does not come directly from a farm, but from a good butcher, and you could taste that too. The marinades are delicious, the meat really tender. All in all a BBQ at home that is worth repeating. You can arrange a drink and dessert yourself. Everyone happy 😉 .
After grilling fish, rub your barbecue with lemon. This neutralizes flavors and odors, so you can just go for a satay after the fish without it still tastes like salmon. For more advice you should contact De Barbecue Boer, that's the expert 😉 .
