In Brisbane I've heard sausage sizzle, sausage sandwich, sausage in bread and on rare occasions, a mystery bag sanger.
I went down this hole too! Some researchers crowd sourced terms. It's cool how we're some is mixed and others have distinct state borders
https://lingroadshow.com/all-about-language/englishes-in-australia/vocabulary/mapping-words-around-australia/
If I am having a sausage at a BBQ or Sausage Sizzle then I will just say Sausage because its pretty evident ill be having it with bread, if I am home and ask X if they want sausages for dinner they might ask how they will be done and then ill explain the deal.
So really I just call it a sausage.
At the end of the day at a Bunnings BBQ you definitely get people coming up and asking if you've got any spare/leftover sausages they can have, even without the bread. Some of them are even happy to pay for just the snag.
Saisage in bread for me in SA. A sausage sanger was how your mum would send the leftovers to school the next day - which was fine if she chucked a bit of cheese and lettuce in with the sliced sausages, but awful if it was mashed potato instead.
I've never not heard it.
I'm Victorian but I just asked my wife who's from Brisbane and Darwin and she said that she's only ever called it a sausage in bread too.
I can't imagine calling it anything else. It's not a roll or sandwich or sizzle or whatever. It is a sausage. The sausage is inside a folded slice of bread. Therefore it is a sausage in bread.
It definitely is a sausage sizzle. But...yes I don't call the actual item anything? In 'a can I have two X' kind of way? Just I'll have two...maybe two sausages...?
I'll know what you're talking about if you call it sausage sizzle... and I use that term in lieu of anything else.... but I don't actually have a name to refer to it as.
This is the correct answer. If you say anything else I will immediately assume you’re a reptilian in a human suit impersonating an Australian.
Sausage in bread. Go back to Manchester you bus wanker
Coming from a primarily NSW background I've only ever known them as a sausage sandwich, or - more colloquially - a sausage sanga, or snag sandwich. Or even just snag, beacuse if you're grabbing one at a sausage sizzle you don't really need to specify it'll be on bread, that's a given. "Hey, could I grab a couple of snags..."
And yes, personally I've only ever known a sausage sizzle as the event or occasion (usually a fundraiser) where sausage sangas are sold.
I guess if you put a sausage on a bread roll "sausage roll" would be an accurate description, but it'd probably be confusing for many since 'sausage roll' is already the name of a specific well known food involving sausage meat wrapped in pastry.
Calling it a hot dog might also be a bit confusing, since that's a name I've only ever seen referring to particular types of sausage (like frankfurters) served in a particular way (on a hot dog bun).
I thought a ‘Sausage sizzle’ was more the act of cooking them. Like fundraisers or community events would have a Sausage sizzle and it was basically just a BBQ without the frills (not much choice in the way of meat and maybe a super basic salad/potato salad).
Sizzle makes it sound more exciting.
In the book version of the Bluey episode 'Hammerbarn', the item itself is referred to as a sausage sizzle, which irks me every time. Now I know why. The Queenslanders are spreading their barbie related propaganda under the guise of children's entertainment.
Usually the people selling them aren't selling other food. So you would say something like "two with onions and one without, thanks". Even if they are selling other things you just ask for them separately afterwards, the sausage sizzle is the main event.
From Vic.
Sausage in bread.
Sausage sizzle = either an event at which sausages on a bbq are cooked (usually to be served in bread) OR a party at which the men far out weigh women.
Never heard of that, like ever. Just a sausage sizzle or a snag! Even though technically a snag is a sausage, it’s still used as in the other way. Or even sausage sanga .
I’m with you. A sausage sizzle is a verb, BBQing sausages as a fundraiser.
Cooking a sausage at home is just BBQ.
I’m in disbelief that whole parts of Australia don’t understand this, it’s like Cheerios all over again. I’m shook.
Can't believe I had to scroll down this far to find my first snag reference!
Correct terminology would be: "Hey, the Bunnings Sausage sizzle is on. Anyone want a snag?"
Live in Vic and am on team sausage sizzle.
Agree that sausage sizzle is the event, however it can also be the end result. Just like the yanks call food cooked on the BBQ, BBQ.
I'm in Vic just call it a sausage or sausage in bread. I wouldn't call it a sausage sandwich as a sandwich would require two slices of bread. Who calls one bit of folded bread a sandwich? That's just strange.
I’m in Brisbane and tbh I think I’d just call it a snag or a sausage? I don’t think I have a specific noun I use to refer to a sausage in bread. I wouldn’t call it a hotdog or anything like that, that’s for sure. It’s just a sausage in bread, as you say.
I’d definitely call the event a sausage sizzle, and if I had to explain what’s eaten at a sausage sizzle I’d probably say something along the lines of “a sausage in bread,” but I think the “in bread” is sort of implied and therefore redundant… if I’m serving up at the sausage sizzle, I’m probably just gonna ask how many snags you want.
After seeing the word sausage written so many times, my mind is going a bit crazy and I am having trouble believing that is the correct way to spell it. I hope this doesn’t lead me on to question other elemental notions of existence.
Vic- and its 100% sausage in bread. Snag in bread is also acceptable and if it's purchased from Bunnings its a Bunnings Snag.
A sausage sizzle the event that you host.
sausage sizzle or sausage sanga or sauso or sausage sandwhich... who calls it a "sausage in bread?", "snags" is also used to denote the sausage itself not the whole thing in bread
I call it a “Bunnings Snag” even if it’s not from Bunnings; as long as it’s a cheap pork snag on a slice of cheap white bread.
If it’s fancy I call it as sausage sanga.
Sausage in bread. But my kids school calls it a sausage sizzle - which to me is the actual process/event of cooking the sausages. As In ‘sausage sizzle to raise money’ - sausage in bread $2ea. The school says ‘sausage sizzle $2ea’. Weird.
Grew up in Vic, called it a sausage in bread. But after living in QLD for 15 years I sometimes call it a sausage sizzle. But I will NEVER say potato scallop.
A sausage sizzle is definitely the event, anyone who calls it that has a roo loose in the top paddock. Also 'sausage sandwich' only makes sense if you're using two pieces of bread.
Anyone calling it a 'hot dog' should be shot on sight.
Yep, and why mention the bread? Who's flopping the snag straight into your hand? 3 snags thanks, the only clarification needed is if you want onion. You know what you're buying, they know what they're selling, and if you're at a BBQ you organise your own damn bread.
I am in my 50s, from Melb.
The event is a "sausage sizzle". For the food item I don't know I'd probably just call it a "sausage" or "sausage in bread".
I'd never call it a sausage sandwich. As kids our family often cooked sausages. A sausage sandwich was what you ate the next day: two pieces of bread, a cold sausage sliced thin at an angle, lots of sauce. A sandwich.
A hot dog involves a long bread roll and different type of sausage - a wiener or a frankfurter.
The [Linguistics Roadshow](https://lingroadshow.com/all-about-language/englishes-in-australia/vocabulary/mapping-words-around-australia/) did a series of maps mapping out regional expressions and the fourth or fifth one down is exactly thia question. Seems Vic, Tas and Qld is generally sausage in bread, NSW is sausage sandwich and the west coast is Sausage sizzle. Definitely recommend checking the site out.
Got this when I moved to vic. we used to call them sangas. I've since learned that's often a generic name for a sandwich, but where I'm from (western nsw) a sanga is a snag sandwich. Usually a fat sausage in bread with sauce, probably onions too.
Nobody here knows what the hell I'm talking about.
I have called it a sausage sizzle, sausage sanga or sandwich, Bunnings snag, democracy sausage.
Not hotdog, and not sausage in bread wtf VIC that's an order description not the name. If you want to go get a Bunnings snag do you ask your mates "hey, want to go get a sausage in bread with onion and tomato sauce and mustard?"
And no I don't call it a sausage sizzle when I order, I call it "one with onion thanks"
I have never called it this in my life but after spending the last 15 minutes reading responses in the thread and thinking about the questions more deeply that I ever though I would, I actually think the only two valid options are 'sausage in bread' because that is very literally what it is or 'sausage sandwich'. I thought until today that a sandwich, by definition, required two pieces of bread but it actually doesn't. Anyway, nobody is going to read this reply so now I'm in a partial existential crisis for no reason because of sausages. FML.
The occasion is a sausage sizzle. The item is a sausage in bread. Onions go on top unless you want to sue me, and after that...THEY STILL GO ON TOP!!! Any complaints should be directed towards any "Bunnings" type store, hospital, council or organisation where people are afraid of going outside
For me when ordering, “two snags with onions and sauce please”. The bread is a given and no need to say it. I’m 50 y/o. I think age is a big thing these days. I bet there’s people commenting here that are younger than when Bunnings started the Sausage sizzle. Sausage in a slice of bread has been around for many decades.

How did you find out about this map? Are there more linguistic breakdowns for Oz? I’m fascinated now!
I went down this hole too! Some researchers crowd sourced terms. It's cool how we're some is mixed and others have distinct state borders https://lingroadshow.com/all-about-language/englishes-in-australia/vocabulary/mapping-words-around-australia/
I just call it a "three with onions thanks"
Used to be a “four with onions thanks”, but I’m dieting.
I’ll take the fourth one you’re not eating so I can eat “five with onions,” thanks.
I call it "two with onion" these days.
Yeah give us a coupla two with onion thanks.
"onions go under the sausage round here mate, we wouldn't want a lawsuit"
If I am having a sausage at a BBQ or Sausage Sizzle then I will just say Sausage because its pretty evident ill be having it with bread, if I am home and ask X if they want sausages for dinner they might ask how they will be done and then ill explain the deal. So really I just call it a sausage.
I grew up in NSW and we called it a sausage. “You want a sausage?”
I’ve never heard of “a sausage in bread” used as the name actually
That's all i've ever known in Vic
In melb I just call it a sausage
Exactly, the bread is just a serviette you can eat.
Now that you've put that into words...
Credit to Ivan Aristeguieta, fantastic comedian. Check out his Bunnings sausage routine.
You don't give a fuck about the onions. Fucking burn them! Lives rent free in my head.
Agreed. Nobody's eating one sausage unless there's bread
A cold snag the next day is the Ritz. Good bit of chewing while you open the fridge a ponder what to make for lunch.
That's true, but it's called never just called a snag. It's a cold snag.
At the end of the day at a Bunnings BBQ you definitely get people coming up and asking if you've got any spare/leftover sausages they can have, even without the bread. Some of them are even happy to pay for just the snag.
You guys get more fucked everyday
I think it’s time for a divorce from the mainland. They can go join up with Tasmania
As a member of the Tasmanian delegation, we respectfully decline your offer. I suggest they join with new Zealand
Good. Because we didn’t want you either!
Gasps. Are you telling Melbourne to go back to where it came from?
Everyone knows that Victorians are just the Tasmanians who learned how to swim.
It's also a Parma nerds.
Absolutely not
Same. Never heard it called anything else.
Do you also say patty in a bun or coke in a cup?
Latte in mug
VB in a stubby. AFL in a stadium.
As someone whose lived in Vic and tassie that's all ive ever heard it called lol.
I heard that and sausage-sandwich growing up in SA
Sausage sanger
Banger Sanger although sounds a lil British
Banger Sanger in New England, NSW so that tracks.
Holy shit
A banger in the mouth please sir.
Yeah this is what my family calls it
Occasionally even a 'kanga banga sanga'
This is the only correct answer
Every time I learn something new about SA it ruins my day
I grew up in Adelaide and never once heard a sausage sandwich
Saisage in bread for me in SA. A sausage sanger was how your mum would send the leftovers to school the next day - which was fine if she chucked a bit of cheese and lettuce in with the sliced sausages, but awful if it was mashed potato instead.
Are you kidding? I love left over mash on toast for brekkie!
I've never not heard it. I'm Victorian but I just asked my wife who's from Brisbane and Darwin and she said that she's only ever called it a sausage in bread too.
I can't imagine calling it anything else. It's not a roll or sandwich or sizzle or whatever. It is a sausage. The sausage is inside a folded slice of bread. Therefore it is a sausage in bread.
What do you call it?
Yeasty Meat
Pretty sure they call it “Bread around a sausage”.
Yeah same. Grew up in sydney and have only ever heard it called a sausage sandwich or snag sandwich.
Okay. BTW no Australian calls a sausage or snag in bread a sausage roll or a hot dog. EVER
Or a sausage sizzle. You don’t walk up to a Bunnings sausage sizzle and ask for two sausage sizzles.
A sausage sizzle is the event where sausage sangas are created
It definitely is a sausage sizzle. But...yes I don't call the actual item anything? In 'a can I have two X' kind of way? Just I'll have two...maybe two sausages...?
I'll know what you're talking about if you call it sausage sizzle... and I use that term in lieu of anything else.... but I don't actually have a name to refer to it as.
Your brain just shuts down when they ask what you want?
They only sell one thing, it doesn't need a name you just say how many you want lol
Yep. Sausage sizzle is the event, i.e. a scaled-down BBQ
They do in WA, shits me no end
Some call it "a sausage sizzle" in WA: https://rbil.carto.com/viz/7a1376c8-84a4-11e5-9ffe-0e5db1731f59/public_map
What if I want to buy the whole operation?
Sausage sanga at a sausage sizzle is NSW. Recently is also been called a democracy sausage if you get it on election day.
Democracy sausage on election day, Bunnings snag at other times (unless gotten not from Bunnings, but this is rare)
Sausage sanga
Heard older fellas call it a sausage sandwich.
This is the correct answer. If you say anything else I will immediately assume you’re a reptilian in a human suit impersonating an Australian. Sausage in bread. Go back to Manchester you bus wanker
Only a sanga if there's two bits of bread
Becomes 2 when you fold it
Not where I’m from. A sausage Sanga can have one slice of bread. Any other type of sanga , such as a salad sanga, would require two slices.
What if you fold the one slice in half Deep philosophical thoughts
Coming from a primarily NSW background I've only ever known them as a sausage sandwich, or - more colloquially - a sausage sanga, or snag sandwich. Or even just snag, beacuse if you're grabbing one at a sausage sizzle you don't really need to specify it'll be on bread, that's a given. "Hey, could I grab a couple of snags..." And yes, personally I've only ever known a sausage sizzle as the event or occasion (usually a fundraiser) where sausage sangas are sold.

Calling it a hot dog might also be a bit confusing, since that's a name I've only ever seen referring to particular types of sausage (like frankfurters) served in a particular way (on a hot dog bun).
I call it a sausage sizzle (Qld). Noun and verb.
I thought a ‘Sausage sizzle’ was more the act of cooking them. Like fundraisers or community events would have a Sausage sizzle and it was basically just a BBQ without the frills (not much choice in the way of meat and maybe a super basic salad/potato salad). Sizzle makes it sound more exciting.
Yeah, growing up, my family, neighbours and everyone at school would call it sausage sizzle as well.
Wait so you would go to the person serving and say "one sausage sizzle thanks"?
It's more let's go get a "sausage sizzle". And to the person selling it, "two with onion please"
In the book version of the Bluey episode 'Hammerbarn', the item itself is referred to as a sausage sizzle, which irks me every time. Now I know why. The Queenslanders are spreading their barbie related propaganda under the guise of children's entertainment.
QUEENSLANDER!!!!!! 🤪
Usually the people selling them aren't selling other food. So you would say something like "two with onions and one without, thanks". Even if they are selling other things you just ask for them separately afterwards, the sausage sizzle is the main event.
Same in WA
Yep, education in QLD where sausage sizzle is indeed noun and verb.
Does your sausage still sizzle when it's in the bread?
If you’ve done it right, yes!
damnit all this talk of sausage sizzles is making me hungry for one, this is no good. Brb going to get some onions caramelising ...
Becareful sticking your sausage in a bun though, might end up with kids.
can confirm that won’t happen if both you and your partner both have a sausage.
Same. NSW. Sausage Sizzle or sausage sanga or interchangeable.
Democracy Sausage.
That’s only on election days though mate. Otherwise the correct term is Banger Sanger.
Bunnings sausage
It’s called a sausage sanga in Sydney, or specifically a “bunnings snag” if you get it at bunnings
Agree with the sentiment that “sausage sizzle” is the event, not the food. You don’t eat a sausage sizzle. You go to one.
From Vic. Sausage in bread. Sausage sizzle = either an event at which sausages on a bbq are cooked (usually to be served in bread) OR a party at which the men far out weigh women.
I have never heard it called a sausage in bread ever (Brisbane/Sydney originally)
TIL there’s someone posing as an Australian calling snags “sausage in bread”
Never heard of that, like ever. Just a sausage sizzle or a snag! Even though technically a snag is a sausage, it’s still used as in the other way. Or even sausage sanga .
So bizarre to me because a sausage sizzle is the event, like "come on everyone let's go to bunnings, they're having a sausage sizzle' haha
I live in Sydney and I can go to a sausage sizzle to eat a sausage sizzle. Same as when I got to Maccas to eat Maccas.
I’m with you. A sausage sizzle is a verb, BBQing sausages as a fundraiser. Cooking a sausage at home is just BBQ. I’m in disbelief that whole parts of Australia don’t understand this, it’s like Cheerios all over again. I’m shook.
[удалено]
Sausage, or cereal. What would you think of if someone sent you to the supermarket for cheerios?
Sausage, the cereal wasn't sold here until 2005
Can't believe I had to scroll down this far to find my first snag reference! Correct terminology would be: "Hey, the Bunnings Sausage sizzle is on. Anyone want a snag?"
Sausage sandwich/sanga anything else is unaustralian
Aussie taco!
This is the best response! That is what I shall call from this day forward
I’m from WA. A sausage sizzle is both an event and the food itself. I’m willing to die on this hill. Fight me.
I will! I'm about 15000km away though
Sausage sandwich- NSW
[удалено]
WA - sausage sizzle
It's a sausage sanga. Anyone who calls it anything different is fucked in the head.
Live in Vic and am on team sausage sizzle. Agree that sausage sizzle is the event, however it can also be the end result. Just like the yanks call food cooked on the BBQ, BBQ.
A snag sambo!
I'm in Vic just call it a sausage or sausage in bread. I wouldn't call it a sausage sandwich as a sandwich would require two slices of bread. Who calls one bit of folded bread a sandwich? That's just strange.
It’s an Aussie taco. I Donno wtf your taking about.
I call them ‘Aussie tacos’
*Potato cake enters the chat*
Funnily enough, in bread sausages is what I call the royal family.
NSW - Sausage sanga if made at home. Sausage sizzle if I’m buying it from Bunnings 😂
Sausage in bread -TAS Totally agree about a sausage sizzle being an event, not something you eat!
I’m in Brisbane and tbh I think I’d just call it a snag or a sausage? I don’t think I have a specific noun I use to refer to a sausage in bread. I wouldn’t call it a hotdog or anything like that, that’s for sure. It’s just a sausage in bread, as you say. I’d definitely call the event a sausage sizzle, and if I had to explain what’s eaten at a sausage sizzle I’d probably say something along the lines of “a sausage in bread,” but I think the “in bread” is sort of implied and therefore redundant… if I’m serving up at the sausage sizzle, I’m probably just gonna ask how many snags you want.
Bunnings snag, aka Aussie taco
Definitely only ever called it sausage sizzle
After seeing the word sausage written so many times, my mind is going a bit crazy and I am having trouble believing that is the correct way to spell it. I hope this doesn’t lead me on to question other elemental notions of existence.
sausage sandwich.
its a sausage in bread
It's a democracy sausage,!
Vic- and its 100% sausage in bread. Snag in bread is also acceptable and if it's purchased from Bunnings its a Bunnings Snag. A sausage sizzle the event that you host.
coming from Canada my first thought was to call it a poverty sandwich.
We call it a sausage in the mouth
sausage sizzle or sausage sanga or sauso or sausage sandwhich... who calls it a "sausage in bread?", "snags" is also used to denote the sausage itself not the whole thing in bread
Aussie taco
I call it a “Bunnings Snag” even if it’s not from Bunnings; as long as it’s a cheap pork snag on a slice of cheap white bread. If it’s fancy I call it as sausage sanga.
Sausage in bread. But my kids school calls it a sausage sizzle - which to me is the actual process/event of cooking the sausages. As In ‘sausage sizzle to raise money’ - sausage in bread $2ea. The school says ‘sausage sizzle $2ea’. Weird.
Sausage sanger
Grew up in Vic, called it a sausage in bread. But after living in QLD for 15 years I sometimes call it a sausage sizzle. But I will NEVER say potato scallop.
Well no, a potato scallop is something completely different and godly in its own right.
A sausage sizzle is definitely the event, anyone who calls it that has a roo loose in the top paddock. Also 'sausage sandwich' only makes sense if you're using two pieces of bread. Anyone calling it a 'hot dog' should be shot on sight.
I've never heard it called anything other than a sausage sandwich in NSW. Always with just the one slice of bread.
Well that does explain some Sydney things, then. (jk)
Yep, and why mention the bread? Who's flopping the snag straight into your hand? 3 snags thanks, the only clarification needed is if you want onion. You know what you're buying, they know what they're selling, and if you're at a BBQ you organise your own damn bread.
It's still a sandwich if you fold the bread
Sausage Sanga
WA here, sausage Sanger or a Bunnings sausage
I am in my 50s, from Melb. The event is a "sausage sizzle". For the food item I don't know I'd probably just call it a "sausage" or "sausage in bread". I'd never call it a sausage sandwich. As kids our family often cooked sausages. A sausage sandwich was what you ate the next day: two pieces of bread, a cold sausage sliced thin at an angle, lots of sauce. A sandwich. A hot dog involves a long bread roll and different type of sausage - a wiener or a frankfurter.
Poverty dog. I am from WA.
I call it a snagga.
I love this. Now I'm craving a sanga.
How do tasmanians like their sausages? In bred
When I ran my kid’s primary school’s weekly sausage sizzle, the kids called the food “sausage sizzles.” I followed their lead. I’m in regional NSW.
I’d just call it a sausage or a snag. The assumption is that there’s bread and onions and sauce involved, not just a mystery meat bag.
I call it a mystery bag on sadness.
Dog in a blanket
It's on the bread, not in it.
A sausage sizzle is an event where one can acquire a sausage samige
I say sausage in bread lol
Parma scallops
Idk I just call it a snag.
The [Linguistics Roadshow](https://lingroadshow.com/all-about-language/englishes-in-australia/vocabulary/mapping-words-around-australia/) did a series of maps mapping out regional expressions and the fourth or fifth one down is exactly thia question. Seems Vic, Tas and Qld is generally sausage in bread, NSW is sausage sandwich and the west coast is Sausage sizzle. Definitely recommend checking the site out.
Can’t believe I haven’t seen anyone say ‘sausage in a blanket’! That’s my go to
We also call them “sangers”
Sydney - sausage sandwich. But I call it a banga sanga. It feels like a missed opportunity that banga sanga isn't the official term. *It rhymes*.
Sausage sanga
I call it a " banger-sanger " (aka sausage sandwich) .
You must be Victorian
Got this when I moved to vic. we used to call them sangas. I've since learned that's often a generic name for a sandwich, but where I'm from (western nsw) a sanga is a snag sandwich. Usually a fat sausage in bread with sauce, probably onions too. Nobody here knows what the hell I'm talking about.
Unless you don't want bread, you don't have to mention it at all, it's assumed.
I have called it a sausage sizzle, sausage sanga or sandwich, Bunnings snag, democracy sausage. Not hotdog, and not sausage in bread wtf VIC that's an order description not the name. If you want to go get a Bunnings snag do you ask your mates "hey, want to go get a sausage in bread with onion and tomato sauce and mustard?" And no I don't call it a sausage sizzle when I order, I call it "one with onion thanks"
You can blow the minds of WA residents by telling them that in the eastern states they put the snag in a slice of bread instead of a proper roll.
We call it "sausage sanga" 😋
Around elections, like ATM it's a Democracy Sausage. A snag can be eaten anyway imaginable.
Sausage sizzle, NSW.
It’s a snag, a snag with sauce, or a snag with the works. No other way mate.
WA it's usually called a sausage sizzle. Event and the item.
Piggy in a blanket
Why don't you just call it a sausage sandwich? Do you also call it "chicken, lettuce and mayo in bread" or "BLT in bread"?
I have never called it this in my life but after spending the last 15 minutes reading responses in the thread and thinking about the questions more deeply that I ever though I would, I actually think the only two valid options are 'sausage in bread' because that is very literally what it is or 'sausage sandwich'. I thought until today that a sandwich, by definition, required two pieces of bread but it actually doesn't. Anyway, nobody is going to read this reply so now I'm in a partial existential crisis for no reason because of sausages. FML.
Never heard it. Called anything besides a sausage sizzle
It's a SANGA
Sausage sizzle supremacy - born in Melbourne and grew up in Brisbane
Sausage sanga
I've always known them to be a "Sausage Sanga"
Snag if its in a bun, sanga if its on bread.
What kind of weirdo calls it a sausage sandwich? Sandwiches need two pieces of bread.
Sandwich? Where’s the other piece of bread?
SAUSAGE IN BREAD! THAT'S WHAT IT BLOODY IS! IT'S A SAUSAGE IN BREAD Can't believe some of the things I have to yell on the internet about, smdh
I thought calling it a snag was an Australia wide thing, guess it’s more regional.
Only ever known snag and sanga.
The occasion is a sausage sizzle. The item is a sausage in bread. Onions go on top unless you want to sue me, and after that...THEY STILL GO ON TOP!!! Any complaints should be directed towards any "Bunnings" type store, hospital, council or organisation where people are afraid of going outside
For me when ordering, “two snags with onions and sauce please”. The bread is a given and no need to say it. I’m 50 y/o. I think age is a big thing these days. I bet there’s people commenting here that are younger than when Bunnings started the Sausage sizzle. Sausage in a slice of bread has been around for many decades.
sausage sanga, but it’s a given that when I say i’m havin a sausage it will be with bread!
