BBQ Rules

BBQ RULES:

It is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking
activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

(1) The woman buys the food.

(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places
it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and
takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone
where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities
can take place without the interference of the woman.

Here comes the important part:

(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

(6) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.

(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great.
He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips
the meat

Important again:

(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes

And most important of all:

(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ', and,
upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no
pleasing some women.

Yip it's a lot of work for a man to braai the meat and keep tabs making sure the wife / gf does her little bit!

Just wondering if we move to Aus if that's ever going to change, or if one has to move to Mars before the gender roles are reversed?

The man does need time to watch the best team in the world winning their rugby game of course. It's a tough job supporting the Reds after all.

Yup - this is true not only of South Africans, but this is how it rolls with our Aussie friends, our British friends and our Zimbabwean friends!!! I think its an international cultural thing!

No, it never changes.

In reality at our place, I actually do most of it apart from making pudding and salad.
