Vegetarians like BBQ's too

We are a family of vegetarians which we all know, means we don't want to eat meat.
So, does that mean we can't have a BBQ? (barbecue).
No it doesn't mean that at all.
We have had many BBQ's over the last few years and we don't feel like we are missing out because we don't eat meat.

The first thing we put on the BBQ is chopped onions sprayed with vegetable oil and wrapped in foil.
Then we put some large mushrooms on, the kids love the large mushrooms, which always shrink to about half their size and are very tasty when cooked this way.
We get Quorn sausages/ burgers or Linda McCartney sausages/burgers and put them on. To be honest as an ex meat eater I can't remember the difference and still enjoy what some people call carpet burgers.
Another favourite of ours is to chop feta cheese into squares and add cherry tomatoes, basil, olive oil and wrap it all up in foil in individual portions and cook for about 10 minutes. When they are cooked we add a small amount of balsamic dressing. Delicious. We add our burgers or sausages with our cooked onions to a barm cake (bap or bread roll), add some mayo, mustard or ketchup as you prefer vans tuck in.
On the table we always have boiled new potatoes and a large bowl of salad.
We sometimes bbq some vegetable nuggets then chop them up and add them to pitta bread with salad and dressing to make a vegetarian kebab.

Photos will be added later.
A quick note about BBQ safety and carbon monoxide.
Never put a BBQ in a tent or awning or caravan, because they give off poisonous fumes that are deadly. 

This photo says so much about the English

BBQ's can catch fire! This is my friend cooking meat!
