I introduced Canada to the "Aussie Burger" tonight.
OK, so it wasn't all of Canada, but you have to start small and so everyone in the house got themselves a bit of Aussie "tucker" for dinner tonight.
It was pretty surreal though as the burgers themselves had to be cooked outside on the BBQ during a pretty crazy blizzard. It was made all the more bizarre when Andrew decided to shovel the back porch with a hockey stick!
Anyway, for those wondering how these little beauties where any different to your run of the mill Canadian burgers, well that simple ... Beetroot.
It wasn't exactly 'that' simple because there was also beef, bacon, grilled onions, an egg, lettuce, tomato, cheese and tomato sauce crushed between two bits of bread. I was going to add some pineapple, but there just wasn't any room and gravity wasn't being kind already to these towering monstrosities.
Oh, for all the Aussies back home wondering why this made a posting ... well you see Canadians don't see the potential in beetroot quite like us Aussies do and tend to be really boring with their burgers, sticking to the tried and true beef, pickles, ketchup, cheese with maybe bacon and or mushrooms.
