This is very much the tradition here - the sausage sizzle. The
implement is referred to as a barbecue but it's really a griddle -
outdoor frying as you note. This one is run outside the local
butcher's shop every Saturday morning and probably shifts 5-800
sausages every weekend. The queue gets deep by mid-morning but this
was early and they'd barely started. The sausages are 'gourmet' and
include kransky, turkey, chicken, beef and with various flavouring.
All rather irrelevant as the tradition requires that they be wrapped
in white foam rubber referred to as 'bread' and doused in cheap
'tomato' sauce. Odd, really. I've been known to front with my own roll
and HP.
Later he'll throw on a few burgers, veggie burgers, rissoles, whatever
and there's onions and bacon bits going there too as a dressing. Fried
sauerkraut is definitely a step too far!
Today he had a new prettyblonde assistant so there's senorita content.
Contrast was a bit harsh for the20mm Panny tho'.
The gratuitous blonde shot after was taken in the cafe later - she sat
down opposite and several of us spent a pleasant 45mins, just
watching. Hard to get focus with the old Canon 100/2 on the PEN at f2
- or perhaps I was just finding it hard to concentrate.
