Look beyond your usual burger and bangers this summer and get something exciting on the grill.

Us Brits love a <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/dept/summer/bbq/1215684741317-1215684741318" target="_blank">barbecue</a>. Burgers and hot dogs sizzle away, and you know it’s summertime when the smell of those grills is wafting through the air… but how does the rest of the world do outdoor cooking?&nbsp;&nbsp;
We spoke to three Asda customers who told us some of their barbecue traditions that they remember growing up with. Take your taste buds on a journey around the globe and be inspired by what’s on the grill with these barbecue recipes from America, Georgia and Iran.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Meet Salman from Malvern&nbsp;</center>
Salman: ‘Jujeh means ‘chick’ in Persian and is an affectionate term often used by parents when referring to a toddler. You can generally divide Iranian food (for mains) into stews and grilled food, served with saffron rice. You’ll usually find me behind the grill in the summertime. We love any excuse to light a fire and get cooking, and these chicken kebabs are one of my favourites. The yogurt marinade makes the chicken tender, served with this refreshing salad, while the flatbreads soak up all the juices, superb! My mum and sister love this dish. My dad and his friends often made it when they were younger; it’s an excellent recipe for a crowd.ʼ&nbsp;

Meet Erin from Virginia</center>
Erin: ‘There are many more types of barbecue sauce than you might think, and this one is a winner. In my opinion, it’s so much better than the classic, sweet barbecue sauce that you think of. This has a mustard kick, which also gives this sauce its golden colour. You could have this on chicken, pulled pork, or anything you want. It’s really authentic and has a beautifully balanced flavour.&nbsp;
‘I’m from Virginia, just outside of Washington DC, where the weather is good from April to October. So we would regularly have big family get-togethers where barbecuing was the central focus. My dad would always be in charge, and my mom would make her amazing potato salad. We’d have barbecues to celebrate all sorts of things. When I first introduced my family to my husband, we had a barbecue to get everyone together.
‘I love this sauce drizzled over ribs served with coleslaw and corn on the cob. It’s great as a marinade or as a dip on the side. Enjoy!ʼ&nbsp;

Meet Nina from Tbilisi</center>
Nina: ‘In Georgia, we love to barbecue. If you ask any Georgian person, they will know the best places to host a barbecue. Georgians have enjoyed mtsvadi since ancient times as it was our ancestors’ ritual to roast meat over a fire as a reward for their hunt. People call it ‘The Dish of The Kings’.
‘This is a recipe my father used to make all the time. The image I remember is of him carefully turning the skewers every minute to make sure the meat was cooked evenly. Using a big pork joint and cutting it up yourself is great for choosing how chunky you like the pieces. The tomato and chilli sauce (adjika) is fresh, fruity and totally addictive.
‘Barbecuing is about both the food and the tradition. Everybody is involved in making mtsvadi. From spring to autumn, no single gathering would go without making it. In my memories, it’s always connected with get-togethers and sharing precious moments with friends and family.ʼ&nbsp;
