Fancy or unusual barbeque items
I'm hosting a barbeque next week, and am planning on putting out the usual spread of burgers, dogs, Italian sausage, etc.
But I'd also like to stretch my culinary skills and throw in some more unusual items. For example, I'm thinking about trying out the lemongrass-lamb-kebab-type things shown on this page. Ribs are also a possibility, but would require smoking the night before. Any ideas/recipes? Criteria are that it has to (1) taste good; (2) be grillable; (3) be able to be made in quantity; and (4) not need a knife and fork to eat. |

At my uncle's 4th picnic, he grilled portabella mushrooms which he did something to. They were really good, but I have no clue on the details.

Good call -- I think I'll add portabellas to the menu. Good for the one or two vegetarians who always show up.

I've been planning on trying to grill a rack of lamb, every recipe I've seen looks pretty easy. |

Fruit.
Peaches are great for grilling. Bananas and plums work well too. |

Not that unusual, but fish is also a good option for grilling, especially ones like swordfish that tend not to stick to the grill. There was a thread recently about other good fish for grilling, but I am too lazy to search right now.
You could also serve Gazpacho (sp?) its Tomato soup, served ice cold. |
