'Sausage Sizzle'

In the UK we often think that the Aussies spend their entire lives barbecuing. This may well be true, but whilst the Brits now don’t seem satisfied with a BBQ unless there are a wide range of marinated meats with several different exotic looking salads, the Aussies have created the ‘minimalist’ BBQ solution.


For anyone needing tips on regularly catering for anything from a couple of friends to everyone you know, then the ‘Sausage Sizzle’ is your answer and probably your lifesaver.

You will need:
* Sausages
* White bread (1 slice per sausage)
* Onions (fried until golden)
* Condiments (as many as you like but MUST include Ketchup)
* Alcohol (Mandatory here, optional anywhere else!)

You will NOT need:
* Plates
* Cutlery

Method:
* Cook sausages on BBQ according to manufacturers guidelines!
* Take 1 slice of bread and lay in your left hand.
* Place sausage diagonally across the bread.
* Top with onions and condiments.
* Bring the exposed corners together in a folding motion.
* EAT.
* Follow with cocktails (optional)

Advantages:
1) You still have a hand free to hold your beer/wine/cocktail (unless you have all three of course).
2) Without all the salads and marinating meats there is more space in the fridge for beer.
3) There is no washing up for the hosts the next morning.

We did point out that we’d be accused of being cheap if we tried this at home without buying proper hot dog rolls/burger buns, but the response was along the lines of..... “why would you want to do that mate, when you’ve got perfectly good bread?!”
