Perhaps one of those cheapo disposable barbqs for the Vegetarians would suffice.

And Sainsburys own brand is the BEST vege frozen VegeBurgers IMO.
Goodlife make the best IMO, their spicy bean burger is a thing of awesomeness!

Are the tickets ready? Frank and I have already booked our hotel rooms :)

BTW - Richard Bayliss is programming a remake of the great Laser Zone (http://tnd64.blogspot.com/). I have asked Richard if he can have it ready for Retrovision and he confirmed it would be ready. I would like to ask if we can have a Sheepoid competition on the Commodore 64 - in the same way we had a Hover Bover challenge last year? The game is shaping up really well and is going to be a great homage to Jeff :)

As soon as I saw mention of a barbecue I thought "oh, here we go..." ;) Anyway I'm up for having some perfectly good food cremated, is it best if we supply our own?

Well, I'm hoping to do a bit better than just warming up some slabs of pressed vegetable and MSG* for you guys, but I'll admit I know about as much about vegetarian cooking as I do about 14th century Hungarian military tactics.
Once it warms up a bit I'll be trying stuff out on the grill, so if you've any suggestions for stuff that works well let me know so I can get some practice in.

*OK, I've never actually tried a veggie burger, but given the state of your average frozen hamburger I'm inclined to doubt that the vegetable version is much of an improvement in terms of food quality.

When it comes to barbecuing vegan food...I'm pretty much clueless. We don't have a garden, so never tried it. I'd imagine some simple vegetable skewers would be good. Beyond that I'd say just throwing some Sainsbury's vegan burgers or Linda McCartney sausages onto a hot grill would be sufficient. We're not expecting gourmet, just sustenance ;)

These are the best ones to get:
http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/groceries/s ... 9377332673

Not cheap at £3 for 4 (or 75p each), but really really nice. They don't actually have vegetables in them, but made from some kind of crap and share the same consistency as a normal burger, so are quite easy to BBQ.

Linda McCartney sausages are nice for breakfast, but not too good as a hot dog. You can get Vegetarian Hot Dogs, but you can only Microwave them, so probably best to stick with the Sainsbury's Meatfree Quarter Pounder Burgers.

I think maybe the *best* way to do this is to bring your own along if you need special versions of real meat ... it'll save a lot of hassel.

@Beerman ... need to put you in touch with Charlie at the Folly to make arrangements for the BBQ ... Prob easier if you both work it out so that all the bases are covered. I'll send you both a PM via FB.

Not long now really ... Looking forward to putting my green head on again ... :-)
