would have used smilies but YOU hogged them all and I can't be arsed deleting them !!!



Tayto C&O are great. When it comes to S&V Walkers win every time though

I can honestly say the two Irish sausages I just ate are the best sausages by miles that I've had in Australia in seven years here I can see the rest of the packet vanishing this evening

sausages and bacon were the 2 things i remember as being tosh when i stayed with the rels in Sydney, almost as bad as yank stuff. Personal favourite is Aberdeen Angus beef sausages on the barbie

Bacon sucks anywhere outside Britain innit but why, eh?

Spanish chorizo sausages or merguez in France are the bees knees!

Qld doesn't do unsmoked bacon as a rule, I have found one brand that Aldi sell sometimes but thats all, and I just don't like the smoked taste so bacon sandwiches are a real treat when i can get hold of the Aldi unsmoked stuff.
Aussie sausages generally aren't worth houseroom, tried loads and they are disgusting, full of gristle and fat, so I never buy any these days. This shop is selling packs of twenty, guaranteed Irish not Aussie, and as for unsmoked gammon, that is just unheard of here, I don't think anyone's seen my that excited for years (probably not since I saw my last Irish sausage )
