| Sausage Sword |
The sun shone on the North-East this weekend and shops were
stripped bare of barbecue paraphernalia. Here, we recommend
some of the best.
WHATEVER kind of barbie cook you are - traditional charcoal king or gargantuan
gas man - even after you've selected your barbecue from all those makes and
models, your outdoor eating experience is not yet complete.
This tasty collection of barbecue-related bits and bobs will give you an air
of authority as an al fresco chef.
KING PEPPER MILL
£29 from www.barbecueonline.co.uk
THIS full-size, 72cm baseball bat is made from pure beech and cannot fail to
impress garden guests. It also doubles as a deterrent for any would-be steak
rustlers and those folk with irritating advice on better grilling.
CONDIMENT GUN
£14.95 at www.firebox.com
TAKE one of the two containers and fill up with the ammo of your choice, then
it's time to load your cartoon gun ready for action. Take aim, then squeeze
on the trigger to release a steady stream of your chosen condiment while you
crack one-liners about being Colonel Mustard or Magnum PI.
CATERPLATE
£6.99 each from www.drinkstuff.com
THIS sturdy plate frees you from struggling with flimsy paper ones and means
an end to juggling food and drink. It comes complete with snap off (and re-attachable)
cutlery, corners for condiment storage, a stem glass holder and sizeable central
unit.
SAUSAGE SWORD
£14.95 from www.giftlab.co.uk
GROWN men will have to fight the urge to take a musketeer approach to grilling
when holding one of these. This finely crafted sword is perfect for the piercing
of sausages yet once the user has popped out the eye mask at the back of the
pack there is certain to be a delay due to bad acting.
BARBECUE PROTECTORS
From £15 at www.thecamouflagecompany.co.uk
SAVE yourself the hassle of dragging your barbie out of the garage every time
you want to use it by protecting it with one of these stylish covers. This is
just one from a vast range for every size and shape of outdoor cooking device.
RC COOLER
£39.95 from www.firebox.com
IT'S not going to be much good on rough terrain, but patio people and those
with decking about their dwelling will love this remotecontrolled contraption.
Just add ice and load it with bottles, then take hold of the control unit and
be the host with the most. Watching guests chase it for a tipple is most comical.
