London - One in 20 British men are so useless at cooking that they have tried to barbecue chips, a survey has found.

And six percent of men admitted to putting pizza on the barbecue, while others had grilled asparagus and fruit.

The research revealed that two-thirds of men admit they have never used a recipe book for barbecuing food – instead relying on “instinct”.

Almost a third admit feeling “territorial and protective” of the barbecue and would never let their partner take over. But 43 percent of women say they are left to do the preparation.

Behavioural expert Judi James said: “This study shows that there are still strong male primal forces at work through barbecue behaviour – a term we call ‘barbecue brain’.”

A spokesperson for Morrisons, which carried out the research, added: “A lot of couples probably have an unwritten agreement as to who really owns the barbecue.”
