The clue is in the thread title, after two years of barbeques every Thursday and Friday around a pool that was sometimes so hot you couldn't swim in it with the same males saying the same things it drove me slightly nutz. It is completely irrational, nothing to do with the meat as long as I dont have the charcoal and salad and forced bonhommie. Barbeques just remind me of misery, I am the same with sun loungers, any holiday shot of a pool with sun loungers makes me think "you poor sods"How can you detest BBQ? There is nothing to dislike about smoked meat...
You are not meant to, it is irrational, like I detest marble floors, slippery as hell and dangerous when someone is drunk. You don't want to go to hospital in Saudi with a split head while drunk, it could change your whole career. I still hate the stuff while sober in the entrance to an Italian hotel.I get you, and I understood what you meant. I just cant UNDERSTAND it
You Blaspheme!!! BBQ is the food of the Gods.my complete hatred of barbeques.

Then there is air conditioning, I don't hate air conditioning I hate having to have it 24/7. Any holiday that requires me to need air conditioning is work.
Agree Pbehn, (except the BBQ part)
Then their traditional man greeting of 3 kisses to the side cheek and they will just stand there holding hands. I get it that it is their culture, but it just freaks me out. Seeing two men walking across the street holding hands.

I have met some absolutely brilliant middle eastern people, but they are the exception to the rule and guess what......they hate it here too. They are only here because of Islam.
brisket in the smoker, cole slaw and great potato salad
There is another, cheap cider. I like most British teenagers got drunk and sick on cider before beer, and when you are ill drinking cider it lasts for days. I have never drunk it again, I cant even stand the smell. It could be called rational to avoid being sick but I never stopped drinking beer or whiskey no matter how sick I got.Irrational dislikes. When I was 11 we went camping with the school. After eating a 'huzaren salade' (sorry don't know the English word) I got sick. I've never touched the stuff again since although I liked it before this happened.
