How Promotional BBQ Products Forged a Nation<\/h2>\n

Damn it Muriel, I don\u2019t like sausages \u2013 I love them!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"photograph<\/a>But one thing I have trouble getting used to in Australia is the cultural fondness for beef sausages, to the exclusion of the traditional pork banger. For the first 25 years of my life, I enjoyed the many succulent fleshpots of British sausages. From a humble Co-op supermarket six pack to the majorly suspect King of the Pudding Race- the Haggis, from two-foot-long Cumbrians to the Scottish square Lorne sausage (you can look these up incidentally they\u2019re very overlooked), we have a lot of sausage heritage to draw on.<\/p>\n

I think we have to establish though that Australian cuisine in general is far more varied and bountiful than its British counterpart, that\u2019s something I\u2019ve been reveling in for 20 years\u2026no doubt about it. And granted, we have here in Oz access to sausages of almost every description but the one glaring omission you\u2019ll find this Monday\u00a0at Australia Day BBQs, will be pork sausages. And goodness knows we all like a good porking every now and then (don\u2019t blame me for being crude, I\u2019m just being led in my drivel by\u00a0Australian Pork Ltd)!!!
