Truly unique to Australia<\/a> is the idea of having on a burger;\u00a0pineapple, beetroot, egg, bacon… whether you love it or hate it, you can’t ignore it; it’s the Aussie way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Ultimate<\/a><\/p>\n

Burgers are a true international food, found in every corner of the globe, and this is how Australians do an Aussie Burger with The Lot.<\/span><\/p>\n

WARNING:<\/b> THESE BURGERS CAN GET MESSY, AND ADDICTIVE. PLEASE USE NAPKINS AND SERVIETTES.<\/span><\/p>\n

BURGER BUN. A soft, pillowy, and distinctly sweet bun. Should be able to withstand the burgers sauce and juices, holding together to the very last bite.<\/span><\/p>\n

SAUCE.\u00a0The bbq sauce should be strong, with a dash of smokey flavour. Dark in colour, the sauce will contrast the sweetness of the pineapple and beetroot.<\/span><\/p>\n

LETTUCE.\u00a0Fresh, crisp lettuce is a must for any burger. Diced iceberg lettuce will assist in soaking up any extra sauce or juices.<\/span><\/p>\n

BEETROOT.\u00a0Since the 1940\u2019s Australians have added beetroot (beet) slices to burgers. Giving the burger a sweet flavour, best added last to avoid sogginess.<\/span><\/p>\n

ONION.\u00a0Raw or semi raw, or cooked through. Either way, sliced onion is a must have on any burger.<\/span><\/p>\n

BACON.\u00a0Unlike other parts of the world who like it crispy, australians prefer rashers of flexible, soft bacon as standard \u201cwith the lot\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

PINEAPPLE.\u00a0A slice of pineapple is the quintessential signal that you are eating an Australian burger. Sometimes briefly cooked – be careful of extra juice.<\/span><\/p>\n

TOMATO.\u00a0<\/b>Tomatoes on a burger are like icing to a cake – not necessary, but makes the whole experience better.<\/span><\/p>\n

EGG.\u00a0Fried egg is another symbol of an Australian burger – represented by an almost slow-motion oozing egg yolk.<\/span><\/p>\n

PICKLES.\u00a0Often misunderstood, pickles will often end up on the walls and floors of burger joints. Poor pickles.<\/span><\/p>\n

CHEESE.\u00a0Best option is cheddar cheese, and it should be melted for best effect and optimal taste. Single or double slices.<\/span><\/p>\n

BEEF.\u00a0<\/b>Moist, flavoursome, have charred edges, and strong flavours brought out by salt, pepper and internal seasoning. Thick and juicy works best. #1 ingredient.<\/span><\/p>\n
