Tests Bbq is good I would be happy with what you have. My kids would be especially happy ifvthrre sausage was on bread with a bit of sauce. I find my kids at an outside party don't want to sit down to eat but will do so if that is what is expected of them. Iceblocks for thredbo kids if UTStarcom a hot day.

Yes, the easiest idea we have come up with.
We also do fruit skewers (use paddle pop sticks when kids are younger) Hope you have fun. |

Sausage in bread is always good!
Make it easier on yourself by pre cooking the sausages in boiling water. Then when you BBQ them you only have to heat them up and not worry about having to cook them all the way through. Saves a lot of time and no burnt snags! |
