I’m calling for a food revolution. No, I’m not taking on the likes of Jamie Oliver (not quite yet), but I am going for more of a home-grown approach.
The last few years have seen us readily and self-righteously abandon our roots, and I am tired of it. Rather than sit back and let a food that is extremely close to my heart get left off grocery lists and mocked at cocktail parties, I’m taking a stand. This is where it ends. That’s right, I’m defending white bread – and here’s why.
1. Sausage sizzles.
Because does any other bread work with a sausage sizzle? The short answer is simply a resounding; ‘no’. One may argue that the sausage sizzle is a cornerstone of Australian society.
It’s what keeps the wheels turning (particularly as far as elections are concerned); it makes us charitable people; and, most importantly, it equalises the nation… How does it equalise? Tell me of one person that looks good eating a sausage sandwich…yeah, that’s what I thought.
The sausage sizzle would not exist if it weren’t for that simple loaf of white bread. That’s a fact.
