Dude, it's doner kebab, not donor...

one more reason to goto Australia

BBQed sausage is supposed to be brown and crunchy on the outside. Then again, seeing as how this is from the BBC, they must be shocked that most people don't boil all their meats.

Where does an Englishman get off biatching about other cultures food? Shut your limey cakeholes, ya hypocrites.

while a beachside barbie might even see a few pairs of swimming trunks ("budgie-smugglers").

Sorry, but nothing at all wrong with food having a bit of char occasionally. One of the best hams I've ever eaten did have a blowtorch employed in its cooking.

I love my steak charred on the outside and bloody on the inside. It's a beautiful spectrum of flavor. A hint of starter fluid is great too.

HAI HAI HAI!!

EAT DISH DAI!!

K THX BAI!!

Obviously, this correspondent has never been to Memphis, St. Louis, Kansas City, anywhere in Texas, or anywhere in Central California....

Barbecue is hardly native to Ozzie-Land. America's been doing it for as long as it's been around.

And while I live near one of the culinary capitals of the West Coast (San Francisco), I'd rather get a Links and Sliced Beef combo from an Everet & Jones than most of the 'haute cuisine' I can find.

\Double potato salad, of course
\\Would put E&J up against any BBQ in the USA any day of the week
\\\Except for maybe a BBQ Bologna Sammich from that place in Memphis

If I ever get too upset in the states, Australia seems like a very logical alternative.

Or Belize....

I like a little char on steak and ham. Adds flavor.

But don't burn the whole thing!

/Elvis ate his steaks entirely charred.

FTFA: I am being a tad unfair perhaps since multi-cultural Australia boasts some of the most mouth-watering food in the world. But that just makes it all the more intriguing why one of Australia's great national dishes comes partly incinerated.

Probably true, but Aussie BBQ and US BBQ are fundamentally different.

Wait, the whole "brits boild their meat" thing is true? I dustrust a whole lot of this stuff from the internet, and when my french teacher told us about this, I just thought he was being, well, french (he also didn't say nice things about german cooking and mexican wine, either).

Also, about the BBQed hot dogs: Yes, they should be crunchy on the outside.

/We do those here, too

you'd rather have UNDERDONE sausage?
article was a giant waste of time

FTFA: The barbecue, or barbie, gives people the chance to chew upon a sausage (a "snag"), drink a few beers ("blow the froth off a couple of cold ones") which usually come in ice-cold bottles ("stubbies"), which are stored in a refrigerated ice-box (an "esky").

People normally arrive wearing their flip-flops (their "thongs"), while a beachside barbie might even see a few pairs of swimming trunks ("budgie-smugglers").

Oh those quaint colonial and their quaint quaint foreign ways!

Did this article fall through a tiem warp from 1926 or something?

It was just a bit of torch, enough to caramelize the brown sugar on the outside and seal in the juices.

Heh, so many spelling mistakes. I guess I should stop drinking scotch, then.

International trolling reads quite odd when you're not a citizen of either country.

...And my respect for the Aussies goes up another notch. This is about the point of the year right now that I start to really miss being able to sit outside with a beer while a select chunk of bovine flesh broils over an open flame. I suppose I could still use my grill right now - I'd just have to dig it out of the snowdrift first.

Subby needs to be slapped for using the sad tag.

/put a snag on the barbie for me. With grill burns.

You're welcome to join in. There's no snowdrifts here - it was 41 yesterday (that's 105 for you Americans). And yes - we did have a barbie.

that article was gawdawfully written, why did it have to ever be about the author's role in his bbqs with his wife?

Good snags. D'ya like snags?
Snags?
What?
Yeah, snags.
Oh, sausages. Sure, I like snags.

CygnusDarius: Wait, the whole "brits boild their meat" thing is true?

No clue, I'm just going by the stereotype. But hell, down here in cajun country, if you can tell what color the animal was before being cooked, your grill is too cold.

Come the southern summer, Australians do not have water cooler conversations, they have barbecue conversations - the forum at which the most pressing national issues of the day are given a beer-fuelled airing.
As a Texan, all I have to say is... you're doing it right.

Goddamn I hate the idea of multi-culturalism.

Newsflash, outside University campuses where students and counsellors like to masturbate over how diverse and inclusive they are, most Australians think the idea of multi-cultralism is idiotic.

Ditto here.

FTFA: a sausage (a "snag"), drink a few beers ("blow the froth off a couple of cold ones"), ice-cold bottles ("stubbies"), refrigerated ice-box (an "esky"), flip-flops (their "thongs"), swimming trunks ("budgie-smugglers").

After all of those translations, they fail to provide one for the most important part in the article.. "Australia's most successful ever tourism campaign lured international visitors by promising to throw another shrimp on the barbie."

Why does it fail to say: shrimp (prawn).

I'm an Aussie living in Canada, and the next time I hear "put another shrimp on the barbie", someone's in big trouble. They aren't shrimp, they're prawns. We're Aussies, not Yanks.

This is a big part of why Americans like Australia so much, beer and barbecue filled afternoons? Sounds like a win to me.

RoyFokker'sGhost

I am an expat Aussie living in San Jose, and if you call the food here cooked on a grill as 'barbecued', then you lose your license to be a snobby little farker.

BBQ'd food here seems to be as if it was made on a regular stove - thus, it's not bbq. Especially when you consider all the stupid stuff cooked. Take for example, this penchant for cooking a sausage on the grill and calling it a hot dog. It's not a farking hot dog! Hot dogs are frankfurters.

Any Aussie knows that BBQ sausages are cheap, nasty little squirts of ground up cat and dog wrapped in a pig skin. That's why we burn the crap out of the outer flesh, it hides the origin.

And it tastes bloody nice.

Explain, please. And using wierd slang for different food stuffs name does NOT count as a fundamental difference,

Yes, I signed the form. After I die my kebab will be available for transplant.

Heh. Thought I'd read another article before heading out back to fire up the bbq.

Kick, getting, etc..

I love my country - that article had me brimming with Aussie pride.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie... Oi! Oi! Oi!

A sweeping generalisation of an entire nation.

Well I am about to wrap my laughing gear around (eat) a good bit of lamb for Australia Day.

Bloody hell, some Farkers are as sensitive as Scousers.
It was a fluff piece, not intended to be read as a damning indictment of all that is Australian.

Now if you want weird barbecue, try the Japanese version. They stick a metal plate over the grill insist on making stir-fried noodles. Kinda takes away the point of the barbecue.

Nightmaretony: Explain, please.

Well (from what I have seen) in the US we mostly use lesser cuts (flank? london broil? really, wtf is that good for?), hamburgers, hot dogs and stuff. And 'real' BBQ involves spice rubs and basting and brushing and smoking and wood chips and charcoal and stuff.

In Australia we do sausages, and chops, and chicken, and lamb, and fish. And occasionally prawn (never 'shrimp'). We cook real steak too - sirloin, rump, T-bone and such. I don't think I ever cooked a hamburger on a BBQ until I moved to the US. And we use gas mostly, or wood. Sometimes charcoal (like in a Weber), but almost never smokey chips or anything fancy like that.

Just different styles. Yes, same idea - flame on meat - but execution seems fundamentally different to me. Although that might be my small circle.

If your barbecue doesn't involve a multi-hour slow cooking process, you're just grilling.

Dont think I ever seen smokey chip sused for a barbecure. charcoal or gas fired seems to be the norm out here. lesser cuts due to cost. Hit the good bastings and marinatings and it all comes out well. hamburgers are a us favorite of the kids, thanks to fast food resturants so they become big barbecue items as well. Never seen shrimp or prawn of the barbecue in my life, though.
