Now that got your attention didn’t it! A few months ago I visited the Fine Food Fair and whilst it was mostly for trade, one stand stood out to me. It’s no secret that I am a little bit obsessed with some American foods but there is one thing that bothers me and that the numbers. You know the preservatives and additives that many products have (not just American, we have them too) which appear on nutritional labels with mysterious numbers. This one stand though had a rather eye catching name in “Bone suckin’” and had a range of sauces. So I samples and sampled and dipped and dipped and then fell in food lust with them .
I also met Patrick who is the fourth generation of the Ford family who had come all the way from North Carolina to bring his sauces here. He’s full of gentlemanly Southern charm. He even offered to stow my bags for me which was a godsend given everything that I was carrying-now that’s Southern hospitality! His grandmother named it “Bone Suckin’” as she grew up in the Great Depression where they’d love to eat food until you sucked the bones dry and these sauces were so good that they could do that.
The sauces are fat free, gluten free, presevative free, trans fat free, high fructose corn syrup free, MSG free and even Kosher. Among the first customers were Disney world and Harvey Nichols and it is aimed at the gourmet market. The Bone Suckin’ sauce was also named the #1 sauce in America by Newsweek and given an A- in health magazine as well as other accolades.
And when I explained about my blog to Patrick, he was so enthusiastic and gave me a box to give a prize to my beloved readers. So for you is this delicious prize winning selection:
1 Jar of Hot Bone Suckin’ Sauce
1 Jar of Bone Suckin’ Mustard
1 Jar of Bone Suckin’ Habanero Sauce
1 Shaker bottle of Bone Suckin’ Seasoning & Rub
Perfect for Summer BBQs 
To win this pack all you have to do is tell me what is your favourite item to put on the BBQ. Add your entry via a comment to this story. You can enter once daily as long as your answer is different. This competition is open to Australian residents only.

I don’t think I can go past a lamb cutlet on the BBQ.
Last night we ran out of gas. We were having gourmet sausages. Hubby finished them off in the oven, which seemed weird, but they worked.
Anyways. I don’t know why I just told you that last bit. But, oh well.
I hope you’re having a lovely weekend. xx
These sauces have got me thinking about one thing, and one thing only… ribs!
I love to BBQ corn that’s been brushed with butter and chilli sauce…yum!
Oh Yum!!! They sound great and I love love love the fact that they are free of all the numbers and more!
It’s too early to think of a good entry right now, will have to wake up a bit and think of something clever
It is giveaway central here at the moment! Bone Suckin’ is a great name, though I don’t usually allow my children to leave the G off the end of words, I’d make an exception for this. I love to put chicken thighs on the BBQ. Tandoori, Thai, whatever, crunchy on the outside, succulent on the inside.
Our favorite reason to boot up the barbie is for a large pot of water, into which go yabbies by the bucket load once the water reaches rolling boil. The barbie rather than inside due to the easily controllable gas heat as well as the associated pong.
My favourite is a butterflied leg of lamb either marinated or with a spice rub – I love the smokey flavours that BBQing gives to the lamb.
Juicy beef ribs!
I love to serve up Thai marinated Green King Prawn skewers as a starter when having a bbq. They’re simple to make, skewered lengthways, take only minutes to cook and so easy to eat straight off the barbie or served with a chilli sauce.
Lorraine, theres nothing quite like a few racks of ribs, smothered in bbq sauce on the BBQ to get my juices running. The lovely smokey flavour of the sauce and the ribs just stays with you for days.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year.
At home depending on the mood we put chop up figs and mix it with honey and spices and spread that generously over the the BBQ meats..delicious.
Dim sims.
Don’t be hating till you try it. I can’t stand Dim Sims in any other way or form. But split in two and BBQ’d is all kinds of awesome.
Well here in the US we can find those sauces at any store that carries BBQ supplies.
I know I will not win since I am not an Aussie but my favorite thing to put on a grill is pork ribs with pineapple spears. The meat is always great and the pineapple carmelizes beautifully , so good to eat!
I’m a lamb chop person, has so have some nice seasoning sauce, which most of the time is mint, I love to take it off the BBQ & eat without anything else, straight from the fingers
I love lamb cutlets on the BBQ, nothing like that caramelised lamb flavour!
Lamb loin chops are my favourite BBQ’d item – yummo.
BBQ Prawns are the best. Less cleaning up and no mess. Taste, a delight and easy to digest.
We love our lamb on the barbie and I’m Sam Kekovich
My favourite thing (and must be an aussie favourite) to BBQ is lamb chops or a big chunky piece of steak
i think you cant beat chicken wings on the barbecue, they taste so good, mmmmmm, if only it wasnt raining here, i would send hubby outside now to cook some
Onigiri rice balls brushed with melted butter and soy sauce. I know you’re thinking whaaat but you should try it one day, they are SO good!
For us, any bbq food or food to be hot grilled (especially steak!) always needs a little bit of masterfoods meat tenderiser (it gives the meat so much more flavour!) and a little massage with a couple of drips of olive oil. If lamb, any quality lamb can be improved with the technique above, but also adding GFresh
Lamb and Mint seasoning (available from many IGAs) and a little more olive oil to release the flavours. Make sure you sit the meat out till it reaches room temperature as thats when the flavour building magic happens. And of course, rest the meat for a few minutes before serving, on its own clean plate, because thats how you get the lovely juicy jus! If you prep the meat earlier in the day, before taking it to the BBQ, you’re virtually guaranteeed to have soft and juicy bbq meats. Not for us the horrible bbq leather that you get from meat taken straight from the fridge and thrown straight on the hotplate! If we’re feeling decadent we use any beautiful chutneys or boutique sauces that we’ve picked up from our favourite little condiment stores in Berrima, or whereever else we’ve travelled to last, and as well as enjoying our BBQ meats, we get to relive the memories of our last holiday too!
I love to bone a leg of lamb then cover it with my herb marinade, I serve it sliced with a greek salad warm pita or flour tortillas and greek yoghurt.yum !!
BBQed Tofu *hangs head in shame* Seriously it is delicious! And when smothered in sauce nobody notices that it isn’t meat!
King Prawns for sure!
Pork ribs marinated in plum sauce mmmm my mouth is salavating as I type, now all I have to do is dry off the keyboard.
I do not qualify for this give away as I live in California, but my husband has enjoyed Bone Suckin’ sauce on Ribs at a restaurant a few years ago here in Sacramento County, California. Chicken wings and Hot Bone Suckin’ Sauce on the BBQ would make a great meal for my husband. We will have to look for this in our area.
Merry Christmas to you and I love your Blog. A bit lost with some of the foods but you make it so interesting with your details and photos.
I love lamb kebabs using stripped Rosemary stalks for skewers. The flavour permiates the lamb and is awesomly delicious.
I love to put on the BBQ with almost any meat, plum sauce!! Yum!! It goes all juicy and almost caramelized! Lip licking good and makes it just that little sweet that keep you coming back for more!
Bbq…mmm, there’s nothing quite like it is there?
My favourite, a big juicy rib eye steak. Medium and weel rested!
I love vegetables such as zucchini, mushrooms, onion and capsicum for a bbq lunch. They go great alongside my favourite curried sausages.
I love a piece of scotch fillet on the bbq and for a treat a piece of Red Emperor, it has to be the tastiest fish around. If I wan the sauces I would have to try some pork spare ribs.
T_____T Why, oh why aren’t goodies like these available in my part of the world?!?
My fave grill item? Boy, hard to narrow to just one. But I would have to say fresh, wild salmon cooked on a cedar plank with a mustard-brown sugar rub. It doesn’t get better than that.
Absolutely has to be steaks. Mum marinates them in soy sauce, garlic, pepper and oil and its so simple but soooo good. Yum!!
LOL – great branding.
PS My favourite barbecue item is the steak – hands down.
it has to be seafood. fish, octopus or prawn.. u name them. nothing beats fresh seafoods on grill with traditional indonesian basting sauce
Hi Lorraine,
I love a thick steak cooked medium rare, with the chargrill marks making a criss cross pattern on both sides.
Season’s greetings!
We’re experimenting with Earl Grey tea smoked ham on the BBQ this Christmas, don’t know how that’s going to work out but wish us luck, I think we’re going to need it, hehe!
simplest things are the best. Potatoes,wash em good,wrap them in foil and chuck them amongst the charcoals, about 30 mins later open and slice them and top with some grated cheese or salt and olive oil or sour cream and chili or whatever.
Baby back ribs are great on the BBQ. I love the flavour especially when you coat it with a thick sweet sauce.
Salmon- some soy with lemon.. yummm
On the Weber whole piece of rump -2kgs at least marinated overnight in red wine, mustard, garlic,bay leaves and smoked with some hickory chips.
They have to be sausages.
I love Bone Suckin products. I get them at Whole Foods and especially love the BBQ sauce. Great flavors.
A whole fish, oiled, stuffed with lemon and garlic and splashed with soy (and a touch of sesame oil) before being wrapped in foil and cooked on the BBQ with the hood down! Any white fish can cooked this way, but snapper is a particular fav!
Lamb Chops marinated with garlic and some soy sauce!
CORN COBS ….. Our family really love these …. on the bbq still in their husks …. then when all lovely and browned smothered with butter and salt or a sprinkle of chilli and a little lime for the big kids …… just simple and lush
Thank you for this post – I have been in Sydney for over a decade and I am always on the search for food from home. I love the food scene in Sydney and Melbourne – but food from home always soothes my soul.
I am a pretty simple girl when it comes to my bbq – a good old fashioned steak cant be beaten!
Haloumi – with some chilli flakes and squeeze of lemon…can’t go past the squeeky cheese on the barbie!
chicken nuggets -its not the heathiest, however reminds me of after school snacks! MMmmm
It’s gotta be a steak doesn’t it?? I love a perfectly cooked steak – and garlic mushrooms!!
Fantastic giveaway! I love a good thick BBQ sauce!
juice tender pork ribs! yum!
When I was pregnant I couldnt get enough of Corn kernel pancakes, made on the BBQ of course, then smothered with maple syrup…yummm, well at least I thought so then!
Now days my fave is Salmon steaks with garlic, oyster sauce and sweet chilli, wrapped in foil on the barbie! you beauty!
Ribs, without any doubt whatsoever…the best bbq Bone Suckin delicacy on the planet!
We love doing chicken wings on the BBQ, with honey soy marinade.
It’s embarrasing but I love to put Bread on the BBQ (sort of like a burnt toast). It turns out to be crisp with very nice “toastie” flavour
I think my favourite BBQ food has to be “Road Kill Chicken”. Take a whole chook and cut out the backbone with kitchen scissors. Press down on the breastbone to flatten the chicken. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle liberally with a herb and spice mixture – my favourite is basil, sage, parsley, garlic and chilli powder. Place breast side down on a hot BBQ and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, turn and cook a further 15 minutes until juices in thigh run clear. The finished dish, looks a bit like road kill, hence the name.
chicken kebabs… you can add what ever veggies you like to make it suitable for your family. Very yummmy and kids love them.
Zucchini drizzled in olive oil with a bit of fresh ground pepper and kosher salt!
Favourite barbie food is coriander chicken!
I know the competition is not open to overseas but I have a confession. There’s no Great Depression here but I love to suck the marrow from the bones.
I can’t believe no one has said crayfish yet! yummo!
Hahah this question is too hard, just one thing on BBQ
but if I had to choose it would have to beeeeee… a juicy rack of beef ribs ^^!
Finger licking good whole snapper with heaps of herbs
I love to have bbqd whole fish which has been stuffed with lemons and coriander and chillies and then wrapped in a banana leaf. Yum.
What a great find! As someone with food allergies, I always appreciate brands that go the extra mile to cater for us!
The best thing on the bbq would have to be the chips my dad makes! Its the last thing on the bbq so they soak up the flavours of the various meats and they get nice and crunchy and arent the typical bbq fare
I’m not trying to enter, as I’m from the US, but I love your blog and have been reading ever since I saw your blood clot and brain cupcakes. I was so thrilled to see this post as I think Bone Suckin’ sauce is some of the best out there and I’m happy to see them get such good publicity. If you ever come to the American south and want to do a tour of BBQ, just let me know.
Marsmallow for 5 seconds!
The Habanero sauce is AMAZING with sausages and spring rolls! (Unfortunately as I don’t qualify for this I’m going to have to pop down to Whole Foods to get my hands on some more. Too bad it’s not BBQ season here!)
Bone suckin sauce! great stuff. Where I used to work in the USA we had company contests to sell Bone Suckin Sauce and we went through many bottles making up samples. (the crew did a great job selling it and we had a lot of fun) The recipe for ribs on the Bone Suckin Sauce website is fantastic, there is a video to show how it’s done. Also the dry rub sprinkled over potato chips and baked is easy and excellent. As an American living in England I found it so fun to see an American product on your Australian blog. I don’t qualify for the prize, but my fav thing on the barby is anything!
mmm these sauces sound so good, for bbq honeyed chicken wings are a must! but for the asain side of me, i like fish balls etc with chilli sauce on the bbq.
cant wait for the next bbq!
A couple of juicy steaks!

Juicy pineapple. Love those grill lines on a slice of pineapple!
Pita or Lebanese bread smeared with garlic dip or aoli. The bbq crisps up the bread making it perfect for those delicious homemade dips.
Love the warmer weather for BBQ style cooking.
Start with meat and seafood then add the extras..this is what makes it a great meal for me…I love potatoes cooked in the wok on the BBQ then tossed in mustard and butter..YUM.
Cannot wait to try this mustard.
Pita bread with ham and cheese inside!
The most common thing that I grill is Chicken. Then again, I eat so much of it, it’s a wonder I don’t have feathers!
Roast some capsicum on there!
Make your own pizza dough, add some delicious sauce and mozzarella and prosciutto. Cook on oven trays in the bbq with the hood down. Top with rocket and slice. It’s soooo quick and SENSATIONAL. You can use any topping you like but remember less is best. You’ll NEVER order home delivered pizza again

favourite thing to put on teh bbq is a sunday morning breakfast. organic sausages, eggs freshly laid by my chickens, crispy bacon and tomatoes pulled from the vine. so delicous and great to have on the picnic rug under my olive tree
Good quality lamb chops in marinade of choice, smoky and crispy fat (!) on the outside, juicy and pink on the inside. Must be done over charcoal!
My special recipe; pork belly marinated with sweet soy sauce and heaps of herbs and onions.

fresh pineapple, sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar so its nice and caramelly
Hamburger patties made with lots of onion and spices.
Last night I grilled big slices of eggplant, zuchinni and chunks of capsicum to make a grilled veg salad. I used garlic, lime, chilli and kecap manis for a sauce… but I think the Bone Suckin’ stuff would have given it more of an edge.
Hubby’s sizzling sausage recipe, TRUE!
Seductively sexy as he cooks it too!
Secret sauce,adds with TLC!
Makes especially on our anniversary!
