Sausage sizzle not so good
July 11th, 2008
So tell me something I didn’t already know.
Researchers have reviewed almost 200 sausages including bread and sauce from your local supermarket shelves and found that one sandwich contains your daily recommended dose of salt, double for a child.
I am pretty sure that most people already know that having a sausage in a white roll with onions, mustard, ketchup or tomato sauce probably isn’t a healthy snack.
Look at any sausage sizzle run at local sporting events these days and you can see from just looking at the BBQ that it isn’t healthy.
However, the smell of those snags and onions cooking is hard to resist.
I can remember growing up that we would have one on the weekend watching our local football clubs play. The weather was so cold you could barely feel your fingers. You would buy your sausage and immediately start to drool staring at the steaming pile of snag, onion and sauce. Your first bite creating a stream of warm mixed sauce that would run down your arms. I always managed to get some on my jumper, face, hair and so on. Oh how I loved the simple sausage sizzle.
With this new found knowledge will I stop indulging from time to time? Probably not. What is life without a little indulgence after all :)
