the best Aussie barbecue is a Bunnings sausage, with onions on top.

[@cameronheidelauf9623]

Not even ever under neath a sausage the onions are always a Aussie tradition to have onions on top of the sausages

Sliced bread as well, not a fancy hot dog bun.

[@0142Jason]

An Aussie Sausage is a Woolworths beef sausage served on white bread outside of a hardware store, Onions optional, ketchup and mustard also optional. $2.00 for the food item, $1.00 extra for the can of soft drink. If any non Aussie thinks this is strange, it’s a cultural thing.

It's so nice hearing aussies talk about food, brings some national pride. Maybe try to incorporate some native stuff like finger lime and salt bush.

[@Tol1as]

OK I had various questions about this whole exchange in the above comments so I took the time to look it up. finger lime = a small underbrush or tree with edible fruit that looks like caviar with citrus-y flavor salt bush = a native australian bush, with edible seeds and leaves flog = pretentious, conceited or foolish Seppo = something or someone of American origin, often used in a derogatory manner

I love the concept of "lucky sausage." "You got it, the sausage that's bigger than a regular one, b/c meat doesn't come in integer sizes. Have an extra big dinner, or take home an extra snack." :D

that fried cauliflower went through some process huh. First boiled with aromatics, then smoked, then fried. Youd never guess if it was served in front of you lol

[@mickkollins]

Yes mate..well done bringing the "Ocker" to the table...Lived up in Byron in the 70's and all we could afford for our weekend BBQ's was snags..and boy did we all love them with some Toohey's.

Their dessert is a “cornbread” Lamington. 😆 That’s definitely a BBQ joint spin on a classic cake. 👍

[@danieltanyj94]

The work put into the cauliflower - I knew it was going to be good when it went into the smoker. But damn they finished it in the fryer for a crisp finish! Gna be good!

[@itsthatbeeguy]

Just sprinkle some chopped coriander and a squeeze of lime over those shrimp sausages. Should be good.

"Shrimp Toast" What have they done to you fellas?

Boys, if you freeze your flavored sauce for the snags into cubes and grind in with the meat it emulsified much better. Tip from a 30 years of butchering and sausage making

It’s so interesting & fascinating that America & Australia have very similar passions when it comes to food, and how innovative both countries are, especially with Barbecue.

[@mattpennington7068]

Don't be fooled mate this is a very slightly Australian themed American BBQ.

[@SmellsLikeNirvanna]

We dont have nearly as much passion for food as America, if anything they are amongst the highest in the world for passion for food while we are likely amongst the lowest. You're talking about a country where our BBQ is essentially sasusages cooked on an outdoor hotplate, while we celebrate birthdays with $5 cakes from the supermarket, and our only food inventions are dank crap like fairy bread and lamingtons. If you're american, you should know that outback steakhouse is entirely american food but with an aussie decor.
