Entry Detail

During a New Zealand summer it is a common custom to invite your friends and family for a ‘bring-a-plate’ barbeque. Everyone who is invited will bring a plate of food whether it is meat or sausages to be cooked, or a side dish. This saves the hosts from preparing large amounts of food for everyone, but it does mean the host will still end up standing over the BBQ cooking the meat, unable to join in with the party.
