📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The sausage sizzle is a snack that symbolizes Australia's barbecue culture: a grilled sausage and fried onions wrapped in a slice of bread with ketchup or mustard. Sold at fundraisers outside hardware stores, school events, and polling places — where it's called a 'democracy sausage' — it has become a national custom.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On election day in the yard of a primary school serving as a polling place, volunteers grill sausages on a barbecue as voters each buy one on their way out.
