Australia

Australia's sausage culture grew from British colonial roots into something loud, informal, and impossible to separate from the backyard barbecue. Butchers across the country produce simple beef-and-pork snags bound with breadcrumbs, sold by the kilo at supermarkets and corner shops. Hardware stores run sausage sizzles on weekends. Polling stations sell them on election days, earning the name "democracy sausage." The format never varies: grilled sausage on a single slice of white bread, tomato sauce, fried onions. No bun, no pretense.
