This looks really good. The part that made me laugh so hard was
'I had about 1 second to take the picture above. Because anarchy quickly followed.'
They sure had their hands with their cutlery suspended in the air, waiting for you to take that picture.
The more you grow older, the more mature you get, and age, especially with a close difference of 1-5 years matters little.
And I must say @exyle, from all your posts I've read, you seem to be a real lover of meat. I love them too.
Glad you guys had a lovely time. That's what friendship does.
I loved grilled food indeed.
