Sausage Sizzle

Australia

The sausage sizzle is an Australian cultural fixture, most famously found outside Bunnings hardware stores as a weekend fundraiser for local community groups.

An Australian institution — a barbecued sausage wrapped in a single slice of white bread, topped with fried onions and a squeeze of sauce, synonymous with weekend hardware store car parks and community fundraisers.
