Food for BBQ?

[wesleysgirl]

We're going to a BBQ on Saturday evening. We don't *have* to bring food, but I'd like to and I'd like it to be something a little fancier than potato chips and Coke. However, the car will be fairly full of other things so we don't have room for a cooler (unless it's a tiny one) so anything requiring refrigeration is out (we have to drive more than 2 hours to get there or I wouldn't worry about it). Any ideas?

Depending if you have a sweet tooth, a bunch of bananas is a good way to go - Make slits in the skins and push in chocolate buttons or choc chips, then wrap in foil and throw on the grill, when ready open and drizzle with honey/syrup/chocolate sauce. These can be done right at the end as not too much heat is needed, its good for the tail end. People always bring savoury instead of sweet to a BBQ. Easy to transport as well.

... how long would one grill this delightful idea, and on what heat?

Usually - I just fire them on when the coals are still warm, but too cold to cook meat any more - they only take a few mins, but can survive a good 15-20 if you need a wee rest after all the hotdogs and burgers. x
