1st one.
 
We tried our first BBQ last night, the rental has a great gas fired barbie out side, so we got some sausages (snags) lingo dropper:o and a couple of kilos of steak, some mushrooms/toms and salad stuffs and got stuck in.
Considering my hubby has only ever used a coal BBQ he did good.
He used his special BBQ sauce mix of tomato ketchup and BBQ sauce mixed together:p
One less off the to do list, we noticed that the snags here are longer then UK sausages and have a higher meat content, maybe thats why they tasted different and firmer, thats what the hubby said anyway:eek:

This would be me if I was in OZ.

Everytime we have a glimmer of sunshine here, I get the bbq, the beers out and wait for the fckin rain to come in!

Sorry, been here over 7 years and have never owned one.

Also did the OP just indirectly claim that the mysterious aussie beef paste tubes are better than those from the old country? No, i must have misunderstood.

Impressive, I bow to that ... I'm not entering the sausage debate, suffice to say it all depends where you look ;)

Apart from a few exceptions, sausages are shite in both the UK and Australia.

Awright, awright, it's not unusual ;)

How about this, I have been here 7 years and never bought an item of swimwear. This may call for a seperate thread ...

Higher meat content :confused: Really? Where did you buy them from?

I don't do sausages personally although the kids & hubby eat them but the only ones he's found that he says are anywhere near decent are from the British Sausage Company - the really long ones that come coiled up.
