Barbacoa – The Barbecue That Beats The Budget

The best things in life are free, so in this tough economic climate it’s time to re-embrace the freer things in life:

– Tourism
– friends
– family
– parks
– food

An event that encompasses all of these elements is the barbecue! The barbecue is a great Australian tradition that can take place anywhere and is an outdoor celebration of friends and family. The food served at a barbecue is generally easy to prepare, easy to eat, and has a menu to which each member of the barbecue has contributed something. Australia may not be known for its etiquette, but all Aussies know that you never arrive at a barbecue empty-handed.

The community barbecue menu is embedded in the psyche of socializing in Australia and reflects the true nature of Australians: generous, caring, considerate and helpful. Barbecuing is a great way to socialize and celebrate during these tougher economic times. Communal contribution to a menu means that no one person is burdened with the cost of food and drink. It also creates a great conversation starter as people admire, taste and compliment each other’s culinary products. A barbecue can replace any expensive celebration and is ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, engagements, baptisms, Christmas and many more.

The return of the BBQ trend has even caught on in the retail and food industries. Many retail outlets today use a barbecue to entice customers to visit their store, who may resist a free or cheap sizzling sausage. Restaurants and caterers are also embracing barbecue and incorporating more barbecue recipes into their menus. BBQ caterers are being used more frequently as people adopt and use more sophisticated BBQ for their events.

The barbecue is an excellent option for any event and it is profitable. So whether you’re catering to one or hundreds, think about having a barbecue.
