Explanation:
nur zur weiteren Information:

In Australien ist dieses System sehr normal (ich kann mich nicht dran gewöhnen) und wir nennen es
'Bring your own. (BYO).'

Obwohl dann jeder seine Getränke und sein Fleisch zum Braten mitbringt, sorgen die Damen für die Salate (bring a plate).Das ist dann alles sehr lustig und der Gastgeber hat noch für 2 Wochen zu essen über. Und zu putzen!
