Us Brits love a BBQ!

Summer is approaching and us Brits love a good barbecue and the great outdoors! The air will soon be filled with the smell of sizzling meats, enjoying beverages and of course, the sunshine! Even the men will turn into cavemen when there is food to be cooked over a fire.

Every barbecue begins with a food shop. You will only pop in for the usual, sausages, burgers, steaks etc – but before you know it you are quickly gathering anything that advertises ‘Perfect for BBQs!’. Then you realise you’ve forgotten to pick up the bread rolls, condiments and salad, so your quick shopping trip has turned into a 2 hour shopping spree like an episode from ‘Supermarket Sweep’ and the till total is considerably more than you ever anticipated!

So the question is, what is it about barbecues that appeal to us Brits so much? Is it an excuse to have fun in the sun and to have a good catch up with friends and family? Or is it the food itself? Here are some fun facts and figures we’ve served up on an infographic platter for you to devour.
