Here too. Every Aussie bloke should have have an outdoor,stainless steel, gas barbecue which can be seen from space.
The meal wast traditionally beef or pork sausages, made from fat off cuts,cereal and preservatives,plus huge shoulder 'lamb' chops. The barbecue was a 4 gallon drum with holes belted in with a pick and topped with a circular plough blade. Fuel;anything flammable lying around.
Served with; white bread,potato salad,iceberg lettuce,tomatoes, and canned beetroot.
Washed down with local long neck beer..
Today:cooked on a massive appliance which imparts great confidence in the male cook, but not skill
Whole snapper,chicken and green Thai curry kangaroo sates,specialty sausages at $7.50 a pound (vs $1.50 a pound),no shrimp (prawns)
Served with sourdough bread and focaccio, and seventeen kinds of salads from the latest gourmet magazine.
Washed down with bottled water, four or five kinds of boutique beer, a nice Chablis or Reisling and a decent Cabernet- Sauvignon.
Children are served indoors while they play video games..
