How about an Asian cold noodle dish with peanuts or cashews in the mix? Lots of zingy lime/chilli/soy/fresh herbs in the dressing.

I disagree. Vegan yoghurt and Mayo are too sweet in my experience.Vegan mayo, vegan yoghurt etc are easily available these days and indinstinguishable from animal stuff. If you're doing beany things or falafel then minty yoghurt sauce is

Maybe prepare it in advance and then just heat it up on a sheet of tin foil.
CheersSo because I'm an idiot and wanted to make things harder for myself I made it from scratch, so it had loads of flavour anyway and it was precooked in a veg stock. I tried some of the "raw" stuff after this and was quite impressed. I think I might have overcooked the burgers I made from it on the day though as they were a bit tough, which is a shame as I put loads of effort it the day before, but on the day my attention was to focused on the pulled pork and ribs.
There is a thread here.
Seitan
I've had this meat substitute when I've been on holiday in Italy and Lanzarote, but I've never seen it over here in the UK. Where can I get some? Feel free to discuss all things seitan related, whether you hate it or are a seitan worshipper.www.urban75.net
That sounds great even the cavemen and women will like it.

How about yoghurt. My daughter bought Alpro by mistake and I was using it for Turkish breakfast eggs and it ruined the meal it was so sweet!

If you're paying for something then yes expect a fully rounded nutritional meal, if you're a guest eating for free then it is IMO bit rude to be dispirited by any sort of effort made on your behalf.
Like I doubt the meat eaters are expecting the host to restrict their intake of animal fats to within government health guidelines and make sure they eat their 5 a day.
I tend to take a food offering with me to bbqs and the like (I'm not vegan, but I was vegetarian for 25 years, OH is pescetarian and I have a peanut allergy, I'm not going to get in a huff expecting someone to cater for that, I'll take a big bowl of something we can eat to share with everyone)

That looks amazing! How long does it take you to make? I'd love to have a go but it looks like a lot if work.You do need a separate BBQ so meat juices don’t mix so it may be better to serve something non BBQ’d. I would love this:
Vada Pav
Vada Pav is Mumbai's most popular street food! Spicy potato filling is sandwiched between burger buns and layered with spicy chutney!www.cookwithmanali.com
I'd probably leave out the coconut chutney unless I can use dessicated because dealing with a fresh one really is too much palaver for me.

I used desiccated. I like cooking and do it in stages maybe 2-3 hours overall. It is worth it we all love it. I thought about omitting the coconut but it does work.
I used this recipe:
I ate three in a row: the Bombay burger, India’s favourite fast food – plus the recipe

Most fake meat type vegan products will do fine on the barbecue. But sadly most home made bean burgers just don't - it's possible but takes a lot of trial and error getting something that will hold together just right - as generally these sort of things are better pan fried. I am a massive fan of tofu but really don't think it's likely to work well on the barbecue however well marinaded. And tempeh - it's so fucking hard to make tempeh nice, forget it unless you have really used it loads.
Cheers

Alternatively they are opening a Mumbai street food restaurant in Tooting that do them. It will be on the Mitcham road:

Marcus is an ex vegetarian so he makes an effort in the veg dept. There’s some “food for thought” here. He probably has some other stuff on his YouTube and in his books.
He also runs a Facebook page that is mercifully (mostly) free of the tiresome anti vegi shite you get on other bbq groups.

I do like that page. I give up FB for a little while, but it was one of the bits I enjoyed.
I've still not made the char sui pulled pork we talked about on there that I want to make (he posts on another Chinese food group)

Strawberries and cream? Oatly cream is the best.
Cheers. Is it easily available?

Pretty much any supermarket should have it. Might be in a vegan section rather than next to regular cream, depends on the shop though.

You can get really good vegan ice-cream substitutes these days.
It's one of the substitute things that has gone well in terms of being tasty and right consistency!

Avoid vegan halloumi though, it's crap.

Lots of the skewers they do in Sichuan street barbeque are vegan, like lotus root slices, okra or the drier tofu that comes in small sheets, trick is painting it with the spice which is described here: Sichuan-Style Shaokao (Chinese BBQ, 烧烤) You can see them doing mushrooms and potato slices too at that post.
