Barbecue

Barbecue usually brings to mind the all-American summer party. Our church in Melun hosted a spring barbecue that was equally as great. When I asked what I should bring they said, "sausages and salad". I was a little confused and probed around to find out what kind of sausages and how many. Yet another moment of translation humor. When asked to bring sausages to a French bbq they mean any type of meats that you want to cook on the grill. There was quite an assortment that day: marinated pork, hot dogs, grilled chicken, steak, etc. It was a very casual event and the kids raced around, playing soccer and tag and the rest of us enjoyed time to talk and eat together. Good times.
