Hi everyone,
Lately whenever we see our friends for a meal I ususally invite them to our house so I can cook safe foods.
One of our friends has asked us to their place for a BBQ in a few weeks. I don't mind asking for alternate foods at restaurants but i find it a bit harder with friends. I was thinking I could offer to bring something but I'm not sure what. It should be something substantial as it may be the only safe thing for me to eat.
Typical Aussie BBQ's usually consist of steak and sausages, green salads, potato bakes, etc.
Any suggestions of what I should do, take etc.
I feel funny taking a potato dish say and then eating only that.

If you like Chicken breast, you can always drop a hint, of how much you like BBQ chicken Breast.

like said, eathier a chicken breast, or try Boca Soy burgers. They arnt that bad. your lucky, whenever im invited to a bbq, its eathier a hamburger or a hotdog, no exeptions! i find that i can handle a hotdog alittle better than a hamburger(i think its cuz the hotdog has 13grams of fat and the hamburger has 20+ grams of fat) anyway, i always go for the hotdog, and a minor stomach ache, nothing too serious, unless my stomach was already sensitive to begin with.

I love barbecues! You can bring along your own marinated chicken breasts to grill, or salmon or other fish. Bring baked potato chips if you can get those, or just fresh white bread if you can't. Soy dogs and veggie burgers are good. You can make a potato salad with fat free mayonnaise. And take sorbet instead of ice cream, and maybe some angel food cake. Ask for iced tea instead of soda pop.
If these are close friends, you could call them and explain the situation. It's no harder for them to grill chicken or seafood for everyone along with some steaks, or to get baked chips instead of fried. If they can give you a few options, and you can bring a few safe dishes, you should wind up with a complete safe (and yummy) meal.

We went to a picnic over the summer and I brought chicken burgers and Frank's Red Hot sauce. I live near Buffalo and we love our hot and spicy chicken wings. Even though I shouldn't eat them anymore. This is a safer alternative. Anyways this is what I like to bring if you can get them. We sometimes put lemon pepper seasoning on them. They are good.
