sausage sizzle (port moresby style)





Today's blog is a bit off the beaten track...(but trust me, this version is full of love)

I had the pleasure of travelling to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea for work. PNG is a country just north of Australia, look it up folks! The country is one of the world's least explored, culturally and geographically, and many undiscovered species of plants and animals are thought to exist in the interior of Papua New Guinea. Even more amazing is that it is the site of a weekly world famous sausage sizzle. Kanga bangers, in fact, are on the menu. Kanga bangers for those of you who don't speak Aussie are Kangaroo sausages. as Homer would say, mmm...sausage. Yes indeed my friends, it was a perfect end to an otherwise incredible work trip in the Ports (as Jane would say). Barb McGrory (a colleague) organizes this sausage sizzle and all the proceeds are donated to a charity. Thank you Barb for your compassion and prowess with the grill. I need to give a special shout out to Barb for the home made mustard (damn good stuff, which she should probably start exporting ;)). The sausages are adorned with tomato sauce, mustard and onions. It may not be a burger, but this sausage will forever hold a special place in my heart.

If you happen to find yourself in PNG, don't forget to stop by Foodworld on Saturday for a Kanga Banga!
