sotv Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) With lockdown still in force and no chance to cook for family friends for many of us, on what would have been a large scale celebratory weekend . I thought an Imaginary BBQ/Smoker get together this weekend for your family and friend to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of VE Day on the Bank Holiday Weekend was in order. With the equipment you own what would you have cooked and done as mains & sides for say 6-10 people and you were allowed free reign on what to serve up I thought I would go with a small bone in pork shoulder with some pit beans underneath for the drippings as well on my ProQ and on the Smokefire 2 x Jacobs ladders, a Kellybab and 2 x racks of Spicy Ribs with a tray of @Mick Mac&Cheese and some homemade smoked scotch eggs. For the sides some homemade Chipotle Slaw and maybe some roasted cherry tomatoes in balsamic vinegar. Edited May 7, 2020 by sotv 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 It is supposed to be Anglia and Southeast tailgate too. I like your menu. Definitely paella on the weber kettle, and I would have another bash at the Pacific Rim Pulled Pork on the WSM, it was so nice with the sweet chilli mango salsa. With 2 of us in the house here it is not realistic to do these dishes but with a crowd a real winner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Monkey Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I am still thinking of the Anglia Tailgate, so I would of course done some Belly Pork probably Char Sui flavour to kick it up! Then I would of done some Kebabs on the “Kebab Rocket” So cooking at home for 2, smaller piece of Belly Pork and some Kebabs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Bab is cooked on a Rotisserie recipe here and a picture of one I did further down, if you have a rotisserie or thinking of get one, it tastes great cooked on it Jacobs ladder is a full rack of short ribs that haven't been cut singularly, i just add BBQPit boys SPG homemade rub to them and leave them cook themselves. I use this Scotch Egg recipe but soft boiled eggs can be a bugger to work with, I have 50% success rate I would estimate. Was on the look out at Sainsburys for some quail eggs to try before the Covid shutdown. Hopefully I will get a chance to pop in there to get some in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan D Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I couldn't resist in this weather and did some cooking on the smoker this weekend. We have family close by so packed some and delivered to their door as I went overboard plenty enough for 6-10 ppl. North Carolina style pulled pork shoulder. Lamb rib tips smoked with lemon and mint. Home made whiskey and brown sugar burgers smoked and seared. Some sausages. Some kebabs with smoked sausage. Celeriac slaw That pork though... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
