Lord Presents..What Made Your Day + What Ruined Your Day IV

[Burgey]

Made

Booked tickets for Oz holiday

Looking forward to buying my son his first Rabbitohs jersey (poor bastard) and cooking my own steak in a pub surrounded by bogans

First time I've been excited about going home in years as my kids will finally be old enough to appreciate how good Australia is

Happiest country on Earth apparently. Which is odd, because all everyone seems to do is whinge. I think it's the English heritage.

There's a very good cook-your-own at the Phillip's Foot down in The Rocks if you're staying in Sydney

Going to West Ryde Hotel tomorrow night, cook your own steak there, always tastes so good. Only $10 including chips too.

Isn't the point of going out that someone else cooks your food and brings you drinks?

Pretty sure its just to have fun actually. However that works. Sometimes that involves getting food served directly to you. Sometimes its you serve yourself at a buffet. Other times its you cook your food.

 

[silentstriker]

Don't try to logically justify your crazy Australian rituals. It makes no sense.

 

[Jono]

I don't think its Australian. There would be heaps of places in the US where you could make your own food.

 

[Top_Cat]

Yanks are already the tightest ****s imaginable with food that is served to them. Could you imagine the waaahing and gnashing of teeth if they actually had cook their own steak!?

There are. It's called your own kitchen. The shocking thing is that you end up not having to go anywhere and you can still cook your own food. You can even do it outside with friends. We call that a barbecue. It's a radical concept I know, but y'all will catch up some day .

Alexander's Steakhouse

I get where you're coming from. But there's just something about chatting with mates, drink in hand, while cooking your steak.

...plus then it's always cooked exactly the way I want it, haha.

 

[silentstriker]

You can do that in your backyard tho.

But hey, everyone is allowed to have their odd tendencies .

 

[Jono]

Some people don't have a backyard ya prick

 

[silentstriker]

You're in Australia. Doesn't everyone have a backyard that looks out into the beach or has TV failed me?

See, this is where media lets you down.

It's not about the backyard overlooking the beach for Australians. It's about the size of your BBQ, and who dominates its use. If you come to understand this, you will understand us much more.

You need a huge BBQ, not some pissant Webber piece of **** or tiny four burner thing. It has to be at least six burners, with a wok burner on the side, and at least half of those burners must be covered by a hood. Anything less, and you are not a man. Even if you live in a tiny apartment, or the sort of hovel an Englishman would call a mansion, you must still have a massive BBQ. Even if it takes up your whole balcony, it doesn't matter.

And the key indicator of male hierarchy is who cooks the BBQ. There are many, many unmarked graves of men who visited a mate's place and had the temerity to pick up the tongs and turn a steak. It isn't done, and if you do it, the host and the other males in attendance will kill you, then quietly dispose of the body.

Australians are multi-talented - we can drink and throw a steak on a grill at the same time

Simply go to the counter, choose your slab of beef, cook it on the communal bbq, collect your roast spud and optional green **** (I prefer the potato salad btw) - happens everywhere

Brekkie Creek?

Struggle to find a place down here in Melbourne that does it, tbf.

 

[Burgey]

Melbourne generally does some awesome feeds though.

So it's safe to assume then that the Barbie is the Aussie equivalent of America's SUV, and is therefore inversely proportional to the size of the operator's penis?

No
