The almighty "Mystery Bag"


In Australia, many retailers choose to support worthwhile charities by providing facilities for those charities, clubs and associations in the form of a "Sausage Sizzle" in an effort to raise funds. This facility is not charged for.  Ten points awarded and hats off to those retailers for a great community service. Also, ten points to those who who use that facility to raise funds.

The product served is a "sausage", served on a slice of cheap, white bread, topped with some kind of sauce and/or onions.

This gourmet delight is known by a number of names, such as "sausage on bread" (how original), " sausage sandwich", "sausage sanga" and others. I prefer the name "Mystery Bag".
"Why Mystery Bag?" you may well ask.

Have you ever been to a supermarket and checked the ingredients on a a pack of sausages? There are generally some poor off cuts of meat and offal, cereal and a shitload of chemicals to stop it rotting. Charities will generally buy the cheapest sausages possible, in order to raise maximum funds, hence a plethora of chemicals.

That's why I call it a "Mystery Bag". You have no idea what the hell you are eating!

Having said all that, I wish you bon appetit with your next Mystery Bag.
