The 🐿️ has a beef

When I first moved to Australia, the 🐿️ was barely allowed to touch his own barbecue let alone get anyone near anyone else’s! Apparently, the application of direct heat to raw meat is the exclusive birth right of Aussie blokes! The good citizens of Melbourne also think that they invented artisan coffee…

Jokes about slipping “an extra shrimp on the barbie” don’t land either. The grilling of prawns is about as rare as the consumption of Foster’s Lager (another Paul ‘Crocodile Dundee’ Hogan advertising phenomenon from the 1980s).

Forget about fancy wildfire smokers too. Move over Myron Mixon and your fancy rib marinades. Barbecues ‘down under’ involve the grilling of steaks and ‘snags’ (sausages) on gas.

The 🐿️’s grilling ‘beast’ - the wok hob attached to the side is considered to be a ‘weird metrosexual addition’ by the locals.

My American readers are of course well into their ‘Grilling Season’. The more inflation conscious among you will have noticed that your burger mince cost 50% more than it was 4 summers ago!
