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 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
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

Use BBQ for 90% of our cooking....can't beat it

Excellent! Been here 6 years, still don't own a Barbie ... must be a record?

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.

I'll be up to 7 years next month.

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 ...

Dang! I've bought them. The last ones became indecent.

Have also bought a rashie.

Nice. Ok. Ive been here over 7 years and... never been to Sizzler (and never will *shudder*) . I like this game.

Okey doke, that's a quorum, I'm starting a new thread

Higher meat content 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.

Nope we didnt own one for 29 years. Now we do and it has been used about 3 times in the last 3 years so dont suggest you rush out and buy one
