The southern coast of California enjoys blissfully warm weather practically all year round. As a result, there are plenty of opportunities to have the best BBQ in San Diego. A barbecue is an outdoor meal. At its most basic, a barbecue is just meat cooked over an open flame in a specially designed grill and eaten outdoors.
A barbecue can involve just you and the family, or you can invite the entire neighborhood. These outdoor parties are often held in celebration of major summer holidays, from Memorial Day at the end of May, the Fourth of July and Labor Day in September. Birthdays and graduations are also popular occasions for an outdoor get-together.
Dad usually presides over the family barbecue, often dressed in a silly apron and a chef's hat. Sometimes, when the adults get involved in talking and drinking, the kids can take over the barbecue, kindly and deftly keeping everyone's plate topped up. This is safest after the flame has died down and the coals have developed a white, ashy coat. This is the perfect time to add the meat to the grill.
This is a brilliant time to try out different marinade recipes, from steak to chicken or even fish. I doesn't even need to be that complicated, simple hot dogs and hamburgers taste great when cooked outdoors. Of course, vegetarians and vegans can enjoy barbecue, too. Potatoes wrapped in foil and placed directly onto the coals taste wonderful. There are also lots of imaginative things that can be done by sticking vegetables, cheese cubes and other meat-free delicacies on a skewer and calling it a kebab.
No barbecue would be complete without a complement of salads. This is where granny's recipes for macaroni or potato salads really shine. Your own concoction for a tossed green salad dressing would be welcome here, too. If you have a garden, it is the perfect place to source your salad vegetables.
This is the perfect time to eat fresh-grilled garlic bread. Simply slice a baguette lengthwise and then into individual portions. Slather with butter or margarine that has been mixed with fresh garlic and left to mingle all day. Place the bread butter-side-down on the grill and leave for a few minutes, until there is a pleasing grill pattern on the buttered side of the rolls.
Appetites are huge when people are eating outdoors. This is especially true when people have been swimming, surfing or even just lazing on the beach all day. It is practically impossible to have too much food at a barbecue. Potato chips and dip and crudites make ideal snacks for the family while waiting for the meat to cook. People can get very impatient when the outdoor cooking smells start wafting around!
There's always room for jello, fruit salad and/or ice cream. Fresh lemonade, iced tea and light fruit juices go well with barbecue food and sunshine. Place jugs of ice-filled water decorated with mint sprigs or lemon slices. When the sun goes down, if you are so inclined, you can break out the beer. Don't forget the s'mores, those delectable campfire snacks made with toasted marshmallows tucked in between squares of chocolate and graham crackers.
