Cheeky Australians have launched a new hotline to help struggling Brits thrill with their grill, following a new study that reveals over half (55%) the nation are barbeque bunglers. Charred sausages and burnt burgers are all too often on the menu as two thirds (70%) of Brits admit to overcooking.
At the other extreme, diners face danger from raw chicken as over a third (37%) have undercooked meat. With one in seven (14%) admitting to giving guests food poisoning from their BBQ blunders. The new study of 2,000 Brits was commissioned by WesternAustralia.com, who have launched a new BBQ hotline to help struggling Brits ahead of the predicted scorching weather this weekend.
Brits will be able to book a one-to-one slot with barbecue master and celebrity chef Tony Howell, 9,000 miles away in Perth, Western Australia, who will be on hand to provide advice for those burning BBQ questions. Frequent fails include dropping food (55%), not being able to light the barbie (54%) and forgetting to clean the grill (44%).
