Ya know, Tim, I thought the sausage was probably veggie sausage for
the same reasons. As long as you also had plenty of beer, you're OK in
my book!

For the last BBQ I went to all I had was a couple of sausages and a steak
in bread with tomato sauce - no salad or plates there.

Cheers to the local Australian councils for putting push-button BBQs in
their parks that don't require coins.

Thanks.

I am truly intrigued, Tim . . .
"push-Button BBQs"?
"that don't require coins"?
- or is it the parks that don't require coins :0)

You would be suprised what's called a barbeque down under. Actually,
they consider barbeque the apparatus while we food geeks consider it
the results. Parks and campgrounds in many parts of Oz and NZ do not
allow for charcoal and you can either bring in your gasser (not
particluarly practical for a day trip) or use one of the public
"barbies" that are essentially electric or gas powered skillets that
you can 'que' up and use.

Remember that the Aussie version of a barbeque is sausages in bread...
and sometimes overcooked steak or burgers.

It's kind the US about 30 years ago (north of the Mason DIxon line, of
course).

Ditto in Canada. I now use the term interchangeably.

Yikes! Whatever happened to "tossing a shrimp on the barbie" ?

Asked my wife about that once. She tells me it's something that they
put in moveis for stupid AMericans to think about... just like they
send their worst beer to the US and tell us it's great.

It amused her no end that I smuggled some mesquite chips in the lining
of my suitcase the last time we visited the inlaws.
