I've never heard of the shrimp stereotype, but I haven't seen that crocodile Dundee fellow around since childhood, so that must be it. I didn't know grilling was so popular...I just called it 'grilling' instead of BBQ - I feel like that might put me in the league with the shrimp guy...
Nah, I'll accept grilling. You seem like a cool person so I don't feel comfortable putting you in the shrimp guy category.
So, BBQing is not as popular as I suggest. It's popular but not every household does it I guess. And there's no no-BBQ-in-household tax either. I wish though, any way to reduce taxation is a good thing.
Sounds a bit like us Americans. It is pretty popular, in particular by the man's man variety. But there are a few of us that don't - I'm afraid I will roast some part of myself.
Roasted-self...Hmm, maybe not the best use of your resources.:)
