Australian Barbecue

The Australians are well-known for their barbecue prowess, and most households have some sort of a barbecue. The prime candidates for Australian barbecue include sausages, prawns, and lamb, followed by pork, chicken, emu, and even kangaroo meat.

Some favorite cuts include lamb chops, shanks, legs, and shoulder, while beef and pork cuts include steaks, rib roast, brisket, pork chops, pork steaks, pork belly, and pork spare ribs. The sausages are in a league of their own and there are many different varieties.

The barbecue is a huge tradition in Australian culture, with friends and families gathering and sharing the food over a glass of beer, wine, or champagne, especially on weekends. The usual accompaniments include salads, fried onions, and baked potatoes.
