I feel another reason why bunnings snags are so populer, at least in more modern times, is if you are from a lower income family like myself, a good chunk of your birthday parties as a kid were down at the local park using the free bbq to cook the snags while the kids ran around doing party games and eating fairy bread. So having a snag in bread at bunnings takes you back to the fun times as a kid.
We did this, but at home. Feeding a bunch of kids at a birthday party was most easily done by firing up the BBQ, and everyone gets one before anyone gets seconds. Plus some party pies, fairy bread, a few bowls filled with chips and lollies, and you could do a kid's party for about $3-$4 per kid. Some pass the parcel, pin the tail on the donkey, occasionally a piñata and you had some great core memories for kids to create together.
@@evanflynn4680 a benefit of doing it at the park is you don't have a bunch of kids trashing your house and a bunch of parents judging you on your house.
@@evanflynn4680 as a parent, there is no way in hell I am looking after a bunch of kids that are not mine. 1 or 2 when visiting or sleepover etc is fine, but I am not having 10-20 kids running around my house and having to be 1 of the only adults there. not happening. particularly with parents these days. what happens when little chad starts being a dick to little timmy and I have to step in and tell little chad no and to sit in the corner, then little chad runs to his mum karen when she comes to pick him up and shit gets heated because apparently nobody is allowed to discipline or say no to little chad.
When we had the last lot of bushfires, the Bunnings stores themselves organised a sausage sizzle and their own staff manned the BBQs (some came in on their day off) to raise money for the victims and the RFS (Rural Fire Service). People came in droves to get a sausage sizzle. At my Bunnings there were more than 50-60 people in the queue and it had been like that all day. Aussies love to support charities, especially when all money raised goes direct to the charity so we happily waited in line just to support the cause. As well as buying the sausage sizzle, people were leaving donations on top of the cost of the food. The Aussie spirit is alive and well in times of need.
Mate one of my countryfolk should have recommended you put the sausage diagonally in the slice of bread - less likely to get sauce leaking out the ends hahaha
I think as an Aussie, it's a unconscious national creed to be humble. If you think about the things we celebrate in food...sausage in a bit of bread, fairy bread, vegemite, they are all humble food. We also have the same thing for people, anyone who makes something of themselves is not celebrated until they show they are humble. Some think it's just tall poppy syndrome but it's more like failing the Aussie test of success. This also applies to military as well, our most celebrated military accomplishments are our greatest losses( gallipoli , emu war). That's not so say we're not prone to pride or arrogance...but i think we always have a part of us telling ourselves/others to pull our heads in and enjoy the little things.
Gees Rob, you've got that 'Aussie Salute' down pat!!! Thanks for supporting the local charity! Great video!!! I'll take you to my local Bunnings when I pick you up!
My local Bunnings is across the road from the shopping center. You can smell the sizzle while going to do the groceries. Quite often pop in on the way home for a quick cheap lunch 😂
Many years ago after my baby grand daughter passed away from Sids we were raising money for Sids & Kids but we had to provide our own Bar-B-Q & gas + the sausauges ,onions ,Bacon, Sauce & Rolls+ bread & cheese But bunnings did provide the Gazebo & a wheel barrow full of tools to raffle & the proceeds of the wishing well from the weekend . A big Thank you to Bunnings for the help they give to worthy causes.
Bunnings supply the set up, marquees, bbq and gas The charity supplies the food,drinks, napkins and labour. It is a great service by Bunnings and as a regular charity, we are very appreciative. This is especially so as many smaller organisations do not have the equipment.
I still can’t believe over East they use bread at Bunnings. Here in Perth we use proper hot dog rolls of course. Haven’t done it in bread since childrens’ birthday parties!
A hospital I worked at once put on a sausage sizzle in the car park for our Christmas lunch. 😊 Bunnings rules though...a tradition that gives to the community and wayyyyy tastier than a hot dog.
I’ve done a few sausage sizzles at Bunnings…I’m not sure that they provides the ingredients but they definitely provide the gas electricity bbqs refrigeration and all the rest. My strongest memory of doing the sizzle is how strongly I smelled of sausage when I jumped in the car to go home😫
After the lockdowns finished and the sausage sizzle was first back, we were outside in the carpark and from a car just pulling in we heard an almighty shout "BUNNINGS SAUSAGE SIZZLE WOOOOO" from the driver of the car. 😂😂😂
Buying a snag in bread, with a squirt of dead horse, at a sausage sizzle .... while batting away flies. It doesn't get much more True Blue than that. 😃
My daughter works at a Bunnings in VIC - they even set up the gazebo etc and put it away at the end of they day. The groups who want to have a sizzle have to book a spot - they are very popular.
Nice one, mate. Two things though: Aussies don't call it "ketchup" (it's tomato sauce, and it's actually not quite the same thing as ketchup) and a Bunnings snag isn't a proper Bunnings snag without the onions 😁 But if you're not crazy about onions, fair enough!
Short and sweet, buy Charlie one next time with barbeque sauce and onions! Yes, the sausage was supposed to be placed in the longest triangle! I love wandering a few hours at Bunnings, and always buy one of those from the sausage sizzle wherever it is on! Its definitely the smell that entices! 😋
I think sausage placement is a matter of personal taste, I like mine crossways like the one Rob had but my son, another Rob, likes his diagonally like you do.
The last time I did a Bunnings sizzle for scouts, we had to provide everything except the gas and the stand (NSW). Its one of the best earners for money for groups. You could easily clear $400+ a session from them. They provided the funds for all the gear for Jamborees.
I have also done my fair share of Sausage sizzles to raise money for Scouts, but back in the day we had to take everything! Glad to see the Bunnings is helping out with the set up these days. It would make so much of a difference as half the problem was getting all the gear needed to the store.
I've never gone to bunnings specifically for a snag, but countless times I have needed just one more 1/4' T connector or 5 more bolts to finish something, its 2pm and the wafting of onions whilst im in the checkout reminds me I havnt eaten anything but a cup o tea for hours, heck yes am I getting a snag! and by god its delicious. Hardware store bribery is not that uncommon I've found, especially on the trade counters. Some Bunnings trade counters had coffee and sausage rolls if you were there for the early morning 'trade only' crowd. if its on the company card, of course your gonna go to the one with snacks! my favourite was L&H, an electrical wholesaler, they had heaps of good stuff. and we put hundreds of thousands through them, they looked after the lads on the ground. not sure how official it was, but I'm talking good coffee, muffins, doughnuts, decent pies, icecream, icypoles. you didnt have to go to the tuck shop if you went there. you still had to buy coke from the vending machine tho. wasn't under the counter, but not exactly on display. took about 10-15 minutes to fill an order, n the waiting area was understated and self serve, honour system (ie, don't grab all the doughnuts and all the bananas. one of each is plenty). an absolute godsend on a cold morning or hot afternoon. I never did figure out how it was funded, cos it never showed on any receipts I saw, and I was encouraged by my supervisors to take advantage of it, and it didn't count as break time. made for happier, warmer/cooler, more caffeinated workers, that cant hurt productivity.
A sausage sizzle from Bunnings is an iconic Australian tradition, as is the Australian salute. If you can't handle the flies, wip into Anaconda or BCF for a bucket hat with a net, to keep the flies & Sun off.👍
I used to do sausage sizzles to raise money for the youth centre I worked at. The onions are just because they smell great and tempt people to come over. We hardly ever had people who actually wanted them.
Whenever you want a snack while you are running around on a weekend, I always find an excuse to go to Bunnings to have a "look" at something, this is why you have spare change in your cars trays !!
Now in perth where bunnings originally came from, you would of gotten a proper bun for your sausage..all the other states give you a slice of bread. Talk about ripped off😅
Nothing better than a snag at Bunnings on a Saturday after a Friday night on the turps… put the snag diagonally on the bread, I like to roll it diagonally across the bread and a cold 🥶 can of drink… a one stop shop… I have taken the wife out for breakfast a few times at Bunnings…😂😂😂 heard about it for the next few days afterwards for being a tight ass…😮😮😮 The best part is you know the funds are going 100% to the cause… Good to see young Rob has joined the legions who partake in a great cause….
A Bunnings sausage with plenty of onions, sauce and mustard is damn good but I always have the sausage corner to corner I think a sausage sizzle is almost our national dish. British sausages are beautiful so is British bacon but I am still a Pom last time I was in the UK I put on a stack of weight
Rob, note that BUNNINGS are part of the big company that also operates the Coles supermarkets, and as such has good supply for the sausages, onions, sauces and drinks. As Bunnings supplies among its huge product range, gas bottles/ filling gas, barbeque equipment, etc a lot of the needs all run within normal business at base cost of supply. I really would have thought even the bread would be via Coles supermarket supply at cost, surprises me that the " charity" needs to supply anything other than the staff cooking and serving. Must go get some at Bunnings now....
Coles Group was spun-off from Wesfarmers in 2018, with the company once again listed as a public company on the Australian Securities Exchange. So no link to Bunnings
@@suave-rider thanks I forgot that, maybe because I still use FLYBUYS at both stores, though mine is issued at Coles, and points apply at either. By the way the pack of sausages I saw recently being prepared at setup time, did have Coles labels, so maybe still some "friendly" costing/bulk volume arrangements exist, even if now independant businesses. 😳😁🙄👍
They usually just pick up cheap Coles or Woolies sausages- we do the same deal at the kids’ soccer (football!) games- but I feel they need to be grilled darker- not burnt but definitely crispy - to get that taste from the bbq grill.
Just putting it out there. The stall is called a Sausage Sizzle BUT in Victoria we dont say we are eating a Sausage sizzle or we have a sausage sizzle in our hand, we just say we are having a sausage in bread with Tomato sauce. Other states actually call the actual sausage in bread a sausage sizzle which is just stupid. It is a sausage in bread bought from a sausage sizzle.
I read elsewhere that some guy took his girl on their first date to Bunnings sausage sizzle for breakfast. I'm glad you enjoyed the BSS experience. I take my own gluten free bread roll and get the them to put a sausage and onion in it. Still cheaper than subway. Cheers mate 👍🤤😀🇦🇺
Plus tomato sauce is actually different ... Aussie sauce is very basic ingredients ie: not chemistry experiment... I keep yelling at him... "TOMATO SAUCE!" Good Grief.. so many of our terminology is being Americanised... my parents warned of this growing up & I thought American culture & terminology was so cool, now I completely disagree, as I see the growing trend to call biscuits 'cookies' ect... on our supermarket shelves!
Ketchup is thicker than tomato sauce and not as likely to run out onto your shirt. We actually have this product in our supermarkets. It's a different product
Unfortunately, I just read an article where the relevant health department is considering making all volunteers take a food safety course before volunteering for these Bunnings sausage sizzles. I wonder if charities will find it hard to find volunteers or whether people will do the course anyway.
sausage sizzle = cooking and selling sausage sandwiches (usually to raise money) sausage sandwich = sausage sanga. (like sang with an ah no hard g) i have no idea why people say sausage in bread or where that even comes from. personally i always have a sausage sanga with onion and usually bbq sauce.
As well as helping charities you can get car clubs putting on displays as well in the carpark. While owners cook. Our Holden Club use to do it. Money raised went to say sports clubs for kids so they could have jerseys etc. So you could fill your morning up, eating, shopping and looking at cars. It was a joke among women to kick their husbands out for a few hours and suggest they take the kids for a sausage sanga at Bunnings for some peace lol One thing Rob on Saturday's when the BBQ's are held Bunnings also get staff or ppl to demonstrate a "how to" workshop on ways to build things and what you need etc for free. You can come and go as you please. Sometimes they get tv personalities from Home Shows or Renovating Shows and they give advice. You can actually spend hours there. I reckon the sausage sizzles are a great marketing tool because who can resist the smell of caramelised onions and the sausages wafting through the store 😂😋 besides it's not a bad feed considering the price. On average $3.50 for a sanga and can of drink ! Btw Rob much better than fatty frankfurt hot dogs. At least they are beef. Plus we do make/have every gourmet sausage known to man here too Rob 😉 This is good enough to fill the belly and keep prices down and everyone knows what they'll get 😊
Ah you finally experience the sausage sizzle. You don't like caramelised BBQ'd onions?😯. Lol at the fly swatting. All that was missing was a "sea"gull to swoop in and snatch it out of your hands. Happens at many a BBQ or picnic. Now we need to see you attack a HSP. You may have somewhat similar stuff but hey you're trying Aussie pies and other things Brits have so why not try our kebabs snack pack. 😜 Also please do not leave without trying some indigenous food.
@@RobReacts1 that's ok 👍. A bit too exotic for me though. My Grandfathers wife was German, and when I went to visit them in WA, she served up all these interesting meats, and my tummy was not well afterwards 😕🤢
Ok,,,You've done the Bunnings snag, now you've gotta do the Weetbix and Milo thing... you need a bowl with a flat base and "square" sides, place 2 Weetbix flat in the bowl, add copious quantity of cold milk, sprinkle approx 1 heaped teaspoon of raw sugar over the weetbix, then cover with minimum of 2 heaped teaspoons of Milo evenly distributed over the weetbix... the trick is to perform all of this keeping the cereal still a bit crispy, before the cereal becomes too soggy, or else you have to wait until the whole thing is completely soggy and has the consistency of porridge...either way, it's still bloody yummy and it provides a goodly serving of your RDI,,, repeat dose is recommended as and when required/desired...😁😆🤣 🙃🐨🇦🇺
Hi Rob, you probably did not have "ketchup" on that sausage in bread. We don't really have ketchup in Australia. I reckon you had tomato sauce, they are different recipes and there is much less sugar in tomato sauce and it is more sour than ketchup. I'm glad you enjoyed though.
@@top40researcher31 I'm Australian, living in Australia and I have a bottle of it in my kitchen cupboard. I bought it at the supermarket, not via the internet
I can’t work out why everyone puts the snag in a slice of bread. We always put our snags in hotdog buns in Perth Bunnings stores. Mind you I haven’t had a Bunnings sausage in awhile so not sure if they still sold in buns here.
There good i always get the ones that have been sitting there for a while on low hit it make like a slow cooked sausage and it tastes' better then the ones the are cooked straight away just like a meat pie in the oven for a few hours after cooked on low it tasts better like a servo pie
to be fair, the weather was absolute shite and nobody wanted to stand in the freezing wet cold for a summer bbq item. It's ironic that having laughed at Woolie's failed attempt with Masters Hardware (joint venture with US chain Lowes who didn't adapt their format to Australia), Bunnings did the same in the UK; thinking what worked here would work there.
You are walking up, the first thing you smell is those cooking onions, gotta stop. Sausage, bread, onions, tomato sauce and a cold can of drink. Job done!
It's a great idea - Bunnings writes off the equipment on tax and local sporting bodies and groups make money. Win-win... Bunnings also don't get annoying people ringing them about sponsorships as they are already doing it...
It’s very rare to go to Bunnings without leaving with a sausage in bread, I might have even just gone to Bunnings just for the sausage sizzles haha

We're finally getting you cultured. Well done!
haha
sausage sizzle = cooking and selling sausage sandwiches (usually to raise money)
sausage sandwich = sausage sanga. (like sang with an ah no hard g)
i have no idea why people say sausage in bread or where that even comes from.
personally i always have a sausage sanga with onion and usually bbq sauce.
The flys are after your sausage Rob..........
After me more like
I missed Bunnings so much during lockdown, I held a free 'Funnings Scarehouse' sausage sizzle on Halloween.... and I don't eat Bunnings sausages.
I was thinking of going to Bunnings later this morning for a brekkie sizzle.
I sometimes just go for the sausage sizzle and dont go into bunnings 😂
ticking off the cultural classics. need to do a local suburban Aussie burger. Fly wave is a slow casual wave, conserve energy.
Bunnings sausage with no onion 😂😂
YEAH!!! He made it!!
My son returned from Croatia for a week and all he wanted to do was get a Bunnings sausage snag .
Bunnings Sausage Sizzle with Onions😍😍😍😍
I bet Rob didn't go into Bunnings for some DIY gear 😂
Haha nope
As well as helping charities you can get car clubs putting on displays as well in the carpark. While owners cook. Our Holden Club use to do it. Money raised went to say sports clubs for kids so they could have jerseys etc. So you could fill your morning up, eating, shopping and looking at cars. It was a joke among women to kick their husbands out for a few hours and suggest they take the kids for a sausage sanga at Bunnings for some peace lol One thing Rob on Saturday's when the BBQ's are held Bunnings also get staff or ppl to demonstrate a "how to" workshop on ways to build things and what you need etc for free. You can come and go as you please. Sometimes they get tv personalities from Home Shows or Renovating Shows and they give advice. You can actually spend hours there. I reckon the sausage sizzles are a great marketing tool because who can resist the smell of caramelised onions and the sausages wafting through the store 😂😋 besides it's not a bad feed considering the price. On average $3.50 for a sanga and can of drink ! Btw Rob much better than fatty frankfurt hot dogs. At least they are beef. Plus we do make/have every gourmet sausage known to man here too Rob 😉 This is good enough to fill the belly and keep prices down and everyone knows what they'll get 😊
Got the Aussie wave off pat
Gotta the the onion with it so good I think most aussies just go for the donation to charity but it’s so good I’ve never had a bad snag at bunnings
We've had some strong northerly winds lately, brings the bush flies with it, horrid little pests.
Hell Yeah. Gonna try and make it tonight to meet you guys. Not sure if I’m gonna make it or not.
Just so you know . We have both Tomato sauce and Ketchup. There's a difference.
Yes Ketchup usually has added sugar
That looks like my local bunnings in mile end here in adelaide
Ah you finally experience the sausage sizzle. You don't like caramelised BBQ'd onions?😯. Lol at the fly swatting. All that was missing was a "sea"gull to swoop in and snatch it out of your hands. Happens at many a BBQ or picnic.
Now we need to see you attack a HSP. You may have somewhat similar stuff but hey you're trying Aussie pies and other things Brits have so why not try our kebabs snack pack. 😜
Also please do not leave without trying some indigenous food.
Bunnings actually bought out the Homebase chain in the UK which ended up being a disaster.
In Western Australia we have tge sausages in a bread roll.
WA being different!? 🤔😄
Sausage sanga from bunnings is the bomb. Had 2 of them today
Righto, I'm off to Bunnings now for a burnt sausage in bread, 😋🚘. That lady is a character 😅👍
Just had a polish krunsky from a polish market and it was much better than a Bunnings sausage sizzle... just saying 🇵🇱🤣
@@RobReacts1 that's ok 👍. A bit too exotic for me though. My Grandfathers wife was German, and when I went to visit them in WA, she served up all these interesting meats, and my tummy was not well afterwards 😕🤢
Nothing better than a sausage sizle
I just went to polish market and had a kransky... erm... 🇵🇱🤣
Ok,,,You've done the Bunnings snag, now you've gotta do the Weetbix and Milo thing... you need a bowl with a flat base and "square" sides, place 2 Weetbix flat in the bowl, add copious quantity of cold milk, sprinkle approx 1 heaped teaspoon of raw sugar over the weetbix, then cover with minimum of 2 heaped teaspoons of Milo evenly distributed over the weetbix... the trick is to perform all of this keeping the cereal still a bit crispy, before the cereal becomes too soggy, or else you have to wait until the whole thing is completely soggy and has the consistency of porridge...either way, it's still bloody yummy and it provides a goodly serving of your RDI,,, repeat dose is recommended as and when required/desired...😁😆🤣
🙃🐨🇦🇺
Milo is already 46% sugar so why would you pile on more sugar?
Because uncle pete that's the way it's done...duh...🤣🤣
@@grandy2875 yeh I like 3 spoons of sugar on my healthy weetbix
Hi Rob, you probably did not have "ketchup" on that sausage in bread. We don't really have ketchup in Australia. I reckon you had tomato sauce, they are different recipes and there is much less sugar in tomato sauce and it is more sour than ketchup. I'm glad you enjoyed though.
I think we would say ketchup for both kinds in england to be fair
We have ketchup in Australia I see it in the sauces aisle every time I go to the supermarket. It's thicker than sauce and less messy
@@melissabarrett9750 australia dosn't have ketchup as its full of salt
@@top40researcher31 I'm Australian, living in Australia and I have a bottle of it in my kitchen cupboard. I bought it at the supermarket, not via the internet
You gotta have it with Onion the smell of the onion where the sausage is a lot better specially after being cooked on the Barbie
And just in time! I hear the sausage ina bread is under threat in QLD.
My local usually has buns rather than bread. Not sure which I prefer tbh
I can’t work out why everyone puts the snag in a slice of bread. We always put our snags in hotdog buns in Perth Bunnings stores. Mind you I haven’t had a Bunnings sausage in awhile so not sure if they still sold in buns here.
No flies in Melbourne its to cold ..that's just a standard sasage like you rob
Controversial....in Perth you get a bread roll NOT a piece of bread. More bang for your buck in WA
Here in Perth we get our snags in hotdog buns not boring bread 😉🤣😂🤣
I think a slice of bread is preferable to a hotdog bun, they’re much too thick, and spoil the perfect bread, meat, sauce, onion ratio.
Don't know where you got Ketchup, that bottle was Tomato Sauce Mate!
We do have ketchup in Australia. It isn't as runny as sauce
A classic
God honest truth my step daughter ( aged 10 at the time ) said can we go to bunnings for lunch just so she could have a sausage sizzle
What! No onions.... disgraceful (I can forgive the tomato sauce)
Oh no, I dont need onions
@@RobReacts1 it's not a real first aussie saussage sizzle without onions. That's like having your first Vegemite toast without the butter
There good i always get the ones that have been sitting there for a while on low hit it make like a slow cooked sausage and it tastes' better then the ones the are cooked straight away just like a meat pie in the oven for a few hours after cooked on low it tasts better like a servo pie
It’s a revelation isn’t it?
That's funny Bunnings launched in the UK and failed miserably and the POMS didn't get the sausage sizzle
to be fair, the weather was absolute shite and nobody wanted to stand in the freezing wet cold for a summer bbq item. It's ironic that having laughed at Woolie's failed attempt with Masters Hardware (joint venture with US chain Lowes who didn't adapt their format to Australia), Bunnings did the same in the UK; thinking what worked here would work there.
What, no onion 😮
You are walking up, the first thing you smell is those cooking onions, gotta stop. Sausage, bread, onions, tomato sauce and a cold can of drink. Job done!
Maaaate the onions make it
Don’t smell so nice the flies will sniff you out. Enjoy your snag. 😀
It's a great idea - Bunnings writes off the equipment on tax and local sporting bodies and groups make money. Win-win...
Bunnings also don't get annoying people ringing them about sponsorships as they are already doing it...
YES. just YES .... but then you said "no onions" .... NO, just NO
Haha
