This week's compost



1.      Sausage sizzle? Wait there’s a snag or two
‘Under regulations introduced by the Immensely Concerned But Tiny Government of the ACT, any organisation that holds more than five sausage sizzles a year, whether it be a Scout group or St Vinnies or a school trying to raise money to send students to a farnarkling competition, must now live in fear of a visit from a squadron or two of health inspectors. The regulations require any such community purveyor of incinerated snags to appoint one of its members a food safety supervisor. A prospective supervisor has to undertake a special course in the art of turning a sausage and pay $150 for the privilege, and he or she has to be contactable, by law, if the barbecue is fired up and the feared health inspectors drop by.’
How did I miss this story! Does anyone out there know if this ridiculous statute remains on the books? If Bazza O’Farrell attempts to introduce something similar in NSW I hope we sizzle savants will take a fork to legislators who vote thusly.

My first shot in the war is this pic attached of my indulgence at the Sydney Festival of a Woofy’s gourmet sausage sizzle.




2.      Separating an egg yolk

You may have seen this done before but not as cutely I am sure. I admit to not having tried it yet but am certainly going to give it a go. Thanks to the Kelly’s for finding and sharing J



3.      Food artistry of a different kind



4.      Don’t even think of knocking Nandos

‘On day six you take one look at the menu and stab yourself in the eye with a fork BECAUSE YOU CAN'T TAKE THE SODDING TEDIUM ANY MORE. By day seven you would kill for some Nando's chicken.’

Dudding the Dordogne with Brit understatement.
