No, just barbecue, or BBQ or barby. Here a "griller" is what
you call a "broiler". Radiant heat applied from above.

The thing you call a grill we call a hot-plate. Confusing
the issue, beside the hotplate on many of our barbecues is a
slotted section alowing direct flame access from below; this
can also be called a grill.

A typical version:

If you ever get to the southeastern-most tip of Texas, look us up and
we'll invite you for some Texas-style barbecue, DM version.

I always tell people that I need to be near the sea because I was born
on an island. It sounds so exotic until they ask "what island?" Then I
tell them Long Island. I was born in Brooklyn. Smile

15 to 25 units isn't very much.

For someone who produces no insulin, you don't take very much and don't
know if you are T1 or T2?

Since you don't understand the meaning of the word "troll" in Usenet
terms, I'll just call you a fake. I'm certain that you'll understand that.

Regarding the "snort" we just started to see TV commercials for the new
snorted insulin. Interesting.

Yep, I watched it happen. It's a bit unusual to occur during
the Bathurst race, but it's quite a common occurrence on
Australian roads away from the big cities. And that covers
most of the country:-)

I've been lucky enough to never hit one, but I've had to be
very alert at times to achieve that. Around dusk is the bad
time.

I love waffle cones, they don't love me of course. The first ice cream I had
in waffle cones was something like Norgen Vaas (bad spelling). Now waffle
cones are churned out like there is no tomorrow and nowhere near as good as
the ones that first got sold here in Australia. As to hot dogs, hopefully
the original Wursts were a heck of a lot better.

That was lovely! Thank you so much.

She emailed me right after she started posting. I asked her to respond
on Usenet and she did respect that. I hate clutter in my email box. Smile

Was the omission of the letter 'r' deliberate? If it was, it was really
funny.

(for those who are not familiar with the accent, people from New York
City are known to drop their final 'r's.)

Still a bbq

As others have noted, you would be making the same mistake Northerners
in the USA and Canadians make. That is technically grilling, and what we
do. Southerners barbecue, that is, cook for a long time over very low
heat. To a Southerner, grilling is grilling, and barbecue is barbecue,
and only Yankees who have never tried barbecue would ever mistake one
for the other. Wink

The closest I can get to barbecue is to cross the border to Detroit,
Michigan. Southerners migrated to the auto plants and factories in
Detroit during and after World War II.
