WHY is it an UNWRITTEN LAW to put the ONIONS on the bottom of a Hot Dog in Australia?

[@helmuthschultes9243]

In Perth it seems the sizzle is served on a roll, in Melbourne it is only a slice of white bread. Same $3.50 price and I suspect slightly shorter sausage too, matching diagonal length of bread slice plus a little over. As for charities, the organisation for charity changes each day and week. Supported are all community, local sports clubs, scouts, help groups and so. Bunnings provide the sausage sizzle facility, tents, grills etc. I am not sure if Bunnings assist with supplies, though I have noted as the sizzle runs low on bread, people running the sizzle have dashed to nearest supermarket for a number of additional loaves of sliced bread. Also experienced that towards end of day, they have run out of tomato sauce on occasion. The ' Sausage Sizzle ' makes visiting Bunnings a worthwhile stop on weekend days, even when not really needing to shop there.

All of us West Aussie have our Sausage Sizzles in a Bun, we aren't stingy and have it between a slice of bread like the rest if Oz. West is Best!

Many people don't know that Bunnings provides the BBQs, tables, gazebo etc and all the charities have to bring is the food and the volunteers. It is a wonderful initiative that has been going for at least 30 years, which is when I was involved raising funds for my son's local scout group. Bunnings themselves have also organised their own Sausage Sizzles, manned by their own staff, to support the SES (State Emergency Service) and the RFS (Rural Fire Service) during recent Bush Fires and Floods. When that happened with queues were at least 50 to 100 people long. Supporting charities when you visit Bunnings is a national institution and source of pride. Note....When you have a Sausage sizzle, wrap a serviette around the bottom so the onions don't fall out. BBQ sauce and Mustard is also a great combination.

[@Chris_the_Muso]

I was going to say it must be a Westralian thing, but it's been a while since I had a Bunnings sausage inabun. I might have to go and check it out and find out where the onions go. Yeah mustard and tomato sauce, and 'bin doing that for as long as I can remember (and that's quite a while 'coz I'm older than you are Lee). I've actually manned the BBQ on a few of those, for school P&C fundraisers mostly. Bunnings supply the annex, the BBQs and the gas. The fundraisers do the sausages, bread, onions, sauces, and donate their time to run it. You have to book with Bunnings to get the facilities and they are usually booked out well in advance. Every weekend, both days, every week of the year, all different charities. Bunnings murdered the suburban family owned hardware store, but the sausage sizzle is iconically Aussie, and a lot of community groups and clubs would be worse off without the fund raising. The UK is missing out.

I was wondering if you'd get to a Bunnings and have a sausage. Bit of an Aussie institution, but most Bunnings don't do full sized hot dogs like you had. It usually just a beef snag folded in a piece of white bread with onions (on the bottom! - controversial, I don't know if my local Bunnings got that memo yet, but I haven't been to Bunnings in years) and about a $1 last time I went, so that would have changed I'm sure. The proceeds are always for a local charity or kids sports of some type. You get to wear yourself out wandering the endless isles of hardware and homewares and recharge yourself on the way out with a cheap and tasty snack that supports a worthy cause. You're suppossed to eat the onions not drop them on the ground Lee. I'm with you on the mustard and sauce combo. It's the future indeed! I picked that lady as a Kiwi straight away. It amazes me how many Kiwis are in Perth. I don't know how they deal with the heat. You don't know British Paints? Rolf Harris (ugh🥺) used to be their spokesperson.

Bunnings used to put onions on the top. Here's the reason we were given in NZ. There had been a few incidents with people tripping and injuring themselves on the dreaded fallen fried onion. So the decision was made to put on the bottom to reduce the risk them falling out to avoid accidents. So hes right. Bunnings are very big on safety. So mow its onions first

4:20 Bunnings didn’t TRY to open in the UK they did open in the UK. They bought out Homebase and rebranded their existing stores. One of the first Bunnings stores was near me. I really liked it and we went regularly. They had lots of quirky products that you don’t normally see, presumably imported from Aus. Did not partake of the sausages though. They had insane levels of staff, you couldn’t find a place in the store where there weren’t multiple staff in eyeshot. I wasn’t surprised they struggled financially. Less staff and less money spent on doing up the stores and they might have made it. The store reverted back to being a Homebase again after they pulled out

It is NOT an unwritten law to put onions on the bottom. Onions ALWAYS went on top, with tomato sauce and/or mustard. In NSW we call them Sausage Sangas (sandwiches). They are NOT hotdogs. They are a single slice of white bread, butter optional, a BEEF sausage, optionally topped with grilled onions, tomato sauce (NOT ketchup), and/or mustard (I prefer English mustard not that American crap). The only reason onions are on the bottom now is because a few modern imbeciles who can't watch where they walk, slipped on some dropped onions. Of course, in the modern world, everybody needs to be wrapped up in cotton wool because they can't take any personal responsibility for their own actions and the nanny state has to implement stupid laws to protect these babies.

Hi Lee, just for the record, a sausage sizzle has always been a sausage sandwich between 2 slices of bread, not bread rolls. Wouldn't be the same otherwise. Just been to my local Bunnings here in Sydney and pleased to report that they still serve sausages and onions in bread - they hadn't heard of the bread roll thing, so that must be a Perth thing. They also said onions on the bottom was a 'Facebook Furphy'. Said if you hold a sausage sandwich in the palm of your hand and turn it over, the onions will be on the bottom anyway. So, it's not an Australia-wide thing at all. 😊

It’s not supposed to be in a hotdog bun.. that’s too much bread…. Should be diagonally on a slice of white bread….

[@AmandaMitting]

Us West Aussies are classier and have buns, some places you can get them buttered too!

[@mrmustard1300]

I vote buns. We should have a referendum.

[@shirley1827]

Entertaining as always hot dogs looked good nice couple you are staying with.

[@AmandaMitting]

There not Hot Dogs. Hot Dogs are an American thing with highly processed sausages. Our Aussie Sausage Sizzle is a Beef Sausage, usual from a butcher or as Butchers call them 'Steak in a Case'. Its a classic Aussie BBQ staple. Us West Aussies are classy and have ours in a bun where the rest of Oz is cheap and has theirs in a slice of bread.

Have to try one of those look the business❤❤❤love both Mustard and tomatoe ketchup❤❤❤

[@kevinmott6205]

I could do with a chat please Lee want to set own blog up . Dunno how to contact you privately

[@AlexGtheOG90]

Feels like yesterday you just landed. Time flies!

[@LoremIpsum1970]

Yes. Always put onions on the bottom, add mustard and red sauce then turn the hot dog over...stops you from getting your hands messy!

[@AmandaMitting]

A Hot Dog is American, an Aussie Sausage is different, we have Beef sausages from butchers, not highly processed like a Hot Dog Sausage. It's a classic Aussie BBQ staple!!

[@AmandaMitting]

And yes, the buns need to cut throught the top like a Hot Dog, stops the contents from spilling out

[@davidshepherd6104]

Bunnings bought Homebase in the UK and sold the company very soon afterwards.

[@michaelknowles2212]

I’m not Australian but I always have the onions put on the bottom.

OMG Macmaster in Bunnings, unbelievable! Thanks for coming to Australia Lee, sorry we didn't catch up in Perth, hope you enjoyed your time here, if so you have to return next year & visit Victoria & Queensland. Looking forward to the last vlog, leaving 3 hours late should be an interesting one on the nightmareliner (dreamliner). Hope the series has bumped up your subscribers & viewers. Also looking forward to the next one from the UK hopefully with Ange. Cheers

I'm cooking a bbq now (steak, kebabs, sausages, onions) wife has made a huge salad. Having a beer, just love being outdoors. Why is it still cold over there, isn't it Spring now?
