Struggle?! The ol’ Bunnings snag is a delicacy!
A good Australian partaking in holy communion at the church of bunnings on a Sunday.
Except its a sausage not a hotdog
And they’re $3.50 in Darwin
But if you live in Darwin its a lot cheaper because otherwise you have to factor in the flight and accommodation costs…
IMO thats not even a struggle.
Real struggle is when you don’t even have a hot dog so you just make a mustard sandwich. That’s what my childhood was like.
Fucking loved me some sauce sandwiches.
I could get ramen for $0.11 each if I bought a pack. I lived on that for months. A hotdog without bread or condiments cost more. A hotdog was fucking luxury.
RAMEN, you say?
Something something rolled up newspaper.
shiiiiittttt…they didn’t even have ramen when I was a kid. know what we had? spam and beatings. don’t eat your spam? ass beat and go to bed hungry and crying. and you were LUCKY to get government cheese on that fried spam.
damn…I really want some spam now. 🥹
I got spam and beatings as a kid. The ramen was when I moved out at 17. It got better by the time I was 20.
When I was in college I lived off the really cheap ramen… until it literally made me sick.
I can afford the higher quality ramen now (air fried, actual vegetable packets) which is a little more expensive (but still comparatively cheap). Still a great go-to day snack to keep me going.
The really cheap stuff is NOT good. I still buy occasionally unfortunately. What brands have actual real vegetables packets? I have a great international market near me but they have like 600 kinds of ramen. I’d like to outsource filtering through them for the good ones.
The Nongshim Shin Black ramen has a good veggie packet, has relatively large mushrooms, a bone broth packet, and the spicy seasoning packet. It’s about $2 a pack where I live (US). It’s great though, my favorite ramen so far.
Thank you Gork! I’ll be looking soon.
Thats advanced struggle, ngl tho I really like mustard so I might eat that normally 😅
Replace the hotdog with regular sausage (cooked on a barbecue), and you’ve literally got Australia’s favourite weekend food. Onions (also barbecued) and tomato sauce optional.
Did you know that over here in Perth the bunnings sausage sizzle comes in hot dog buns?
wtf Perth
Weird cultural quirk I know… And Bunnings mandate it.
Honestly at this point we think the slice of bread is a backwards eastern states custom 😄
Strange land, full of strange people…
Do your democracy sausages also come in hot dog buns?
I think there might be more flexibility there, but certainly all the ones I have seen are in a bun yes.
I have actually seen people do sausage sizzle (at backyard barbies) onto a burger bun before—you break the sausage in half and it fits really well. But never a hotdog bun. How interesting.
The rest of the world is so adverse to the idea of using bread, it’s crazy. It’s the same cheapo white bread inside either way and who wants all that extra dough of a roll anyway, bleugh.
adverse
Technically here you want “averse”. But it’s weird how both those words even exist.
For america in particular it probs doesnt help that their bread is extremely sweet.
And they say Australians have no culture smh
If you want the ultimate feed, buy a half loaf of bread and cut it horizontally for the biggest sausage in bread ever:
This is blasphemy, it’s wrong way on the bread
As long as you arent putting your sausage in others peoples bread, you can put your sausage on your own bread however you like. We’re in currentyear. Non-standard sausage behaviour is perfectly acceptable now.
Except veggie sausages, no one likes those. And the ones who say they do are just lying and they know it!
Nah, I’m all about inclusivity. Every sausage sizzle should have veggie and gluten-free options available, even if I myself am never going to have them. I bought gluten-free sausages by accident last time I bought sausages, and it is definitely not as good.
Onions are absolutely not optional and this is a hill I am willing to die on
Am i the only one who would cut it in half and then cut those in half if it was going on white bread? I would then stack them and make an actual sandwich.
Making your point with Blender is a new level
There’s probably forums where clicking “reply” just opens Blender.
At that point you may as well cook.
Didn’t you just cook the hot dog?
Heating ≠ cooking.
Fair point.
I have done this. Cutting it in half creates a flat surface so the bread isn’t thinner in one area, the gaps are all condiments, and it prevents the hotdog from rolling out.
What software is this?
Blender
Yep.
Nice. Any tutorials you recommend that I can follow to start learning 3d Modeling?
The best place to start is this guy or some others like him.

There are tons of good tutorials online but I would start with the Guru.
Yep, 2 min in blender. I really could have made it better but it’s to make a point about a hot dog on the internet.
Free, amazing, and cross platform.
And once you’ve sliced it like that, fry all the flat edges for that lush crispy burned goodness
This is my go-to solution when I’ve got hotdogs and hamburger buns but no hamburgers or hotdog buns.
Its a “classy” way to eat a heated Bockwurst or Wiener in Germany. On of the few meals, that are often typically served with white toast bread.
Thank you for calling me classy.
I’ve never seen it served with toast. Always some sort of white bread roll (Schrippe, Kaiser, etc.)
It’s still industrial sausage on industrial bread. Fold it and there isn’t much difference.
I never understood how this was somehow a sign of being poor. I don’t buy hotdog buns. I have always ate my hotdogs this way.
Is this a prank?
What? I came home and ate it tonight with a slice of fake cheese on each one. The franks were beef though.
with at least mustard though, right?
To be precise It was Great value sliced bread. Great value cheese like slices. Great value mustard. With makers mark beef franks. It was the meal that Sam Walton’s zombie corpse made.
“It’s the same thing”
-mom
Unpopular opinion, but I got used to eating hot dogs growing up with regular sliced bread and I might even prefer it. The bun/dog ratio is good. However, I know it’s more bread and is contradictory, but Danish hot dogs are my favorite.
Thats an aussie delicacy, what struggle?
Snags ftw, mate!
Mate, if you use frankfurters at your sausage sizzle I’m going to have some complaints
You got relish, you’re living well.
It fits better diagonally
That’s what she said
First thing I thought when I saw the picture.
Mustard on one side, ketchup on the other. Roll the dog back and forth a bit so the condiments spread out and don’t soak through the bread.
Flat the sandwich bread with a rolling pin or a bottle (or whatever you have) then cover the weiner all around, at thins point you can add breadcrumbs and egg or leave it. Put it om airfryer for a while and there you go. Korean hot dog
Ehhhh, calling that a Korean hot dog is generous lol
These mfs don’t know the struggle til they’ve tried hotsauce bread AKA HSB
The struggle isn’t real until you’ve had a nap for lunch & went to bed early for dinner.
