It's grilling and barbecue season, so what's your favorite? Do you like hamburgers or cheeseburgers, or hotdogs? Do you prefer the chicken or steak kebobs? What about potato or macaroni salad? Share with us your favorite barbecue item.

LOL i made my self hungry after i responded to your discussion. sorry i missed the letter "i" on it, it should be "tandoori". anyway, tandoori is a kind of indian food that they cooked in a clay oven called "tandoor" it can be chicken, beef, lamb, fish - anything. it is marinated to indian herbs and spices so it is tasty once it is cooked. i dont have a tandoor here so i just used a typical griller and it is yummy, indian food is crazy out here so i tried to make my own (i said crazy coz it always cost us $70 for just 2 dishes 0 crazy ei? so i said NO MORE!) anyway, hope that helps. takecare and good night!

Bratwurst and multi-meat kebobs. We usually don't have salads with that except maybe for a green one. I love potato salad but my husband hates it so we don't have it, lol.

I've never heard of chicken hotdogs, how interesting.

My favorites has to be home made potato and macaroni salad. Also you have to have fresh fruit. The meat depends on the mood i am in, anything from steaks, to BBQ chicken, to hot dogs or angus beef hamburgers. Of course you have to have some great kinda dessert.

Yummy! I wish I wasn't afraid of the gas grill and could go cook something out there right now!

We had cheeseburgers tonight with salt potatoes, watermelon, and a pasta salad. I like grilled chicken as well, but my favorite grilled food is steak. We buy a Jack Daniels mesquite marinade, it's the best!

When you say salt potatoes, do you just mean potatoes with salt on them, or do you mean something else?

LOL, long after I posted this I remembered salt potatoes are a north eastern thing, possibly just a Central, NY thing. Basically, they are regular potatoes, although a bit small, about the size of a golf ball. You boil them with powdered salt, and serve whole, swimming in melted butter. It's a summer time tradition in this area.

I like Cheeseburgers the best. I've never really had any kebobs. We don't really do those when we barbecue. I like both macaroni and potato salad. I especially like it when it's my mom's homemade kind. The rest of my family really likes the store bought mustard potato salad. Another barbecue staple: WATERMELON! We love to have watermelon when we barbecue.

I've never had kebob either. My hubby says that he's gonna make it for me soon - we just bought the skewers for $1 at Target. Thanks for responding.

I would have to say, bratwurst and hamburgers. I hardly have hamburgers made on the stove, but on the grill, we have them quite a bit.

I seem to have attracted all the bratwurst people to this discussion. Anyone here not like bratwurst? Just kidding. Thanks for posting.

Number one choice is rib steak, but if I had it recently, I could go for Italian sausage or chicken wings.

Ooo, I love Italian sausage too, with mustard. I'm OK with the rib steak, but not big on it. I could care less about the wings, as I prefer the white meat over the dark meat.

I think that it would be more practical of me to say what I don't like during a BBQ, which would be bratwurst. That's it! I love everything else!

I'm with you on that one. Bratwurst, or any -wurst, is not for me.

It is so hard to pick just one. I really like chicken and pork cooked on the grill. I also like to do grilled onions in little foil packets with some butter and salt and pepper.

I never heard of that onion thing. I'll have to mention it to hubby to have him try it some time, since he's the grill master - LOL!!!

I'm nuts about ribs! Burgers, chicken, all that is so old to me but I love ribs. Especially with my dad's homemade bbq sauce! I like hot dogs, too. But they have to be burned, I love them that way!

Ribs are too messy for me with not enough meat to make it worth the mess. Maybe I'm just not finding the right ribs!

Well, generally speaking I like cheeseburgers then brats. But, my parents grill a mean salmon with veggies and that is really good, too- especially the grilled yellow squash which is one of my favorite veggies to begin with. Love potato salad!

The best I've ever had was a standing rib roast done on a spit. Thats like prime rib, they coated it with rock salt and put the thermomitor(sp) in the center and threw in onions covered with tin foil and some tatters. I thought the salt would ruin it but it accually drew out some of the moisture. and it rocked big time. Unfortunatly I can't afford the met to try this my self. LOL so I do the standard ribs,burgers,and steaks!

I love all kinds of food that can be cooked on a bbq.We love to have a few different rice dishes as well, so that we can add to the meats that we cook, as well as salad things and sauces.I love burgers that you put in a breaded bun, as that way you can add alll manners of different things like friend onions, rellish, cheese and salad.Steak kebabs, also spare ribs and hot dogs also go down a treat.
