(Wrote early, posted late)
After an unusually long winter (it’s only just starting to
warm up), on the first of May of the year of our lord 2013, thanks to the
combined meteorological and astronomical events of a sufficiently close sun and
still air surrounding our garden, the first barbie of the year could commence.
And I did something special. I’ve always liked burgers and I’ve always liked
sausages; to combine the two successfully has been somewhat confounding. Just
chucking sausages into the bun with the burger didn’t work. They rolled out the
sides and the thing didn’t hold together properly. I’ve tried mixing sausage
meat and minced beef. This was actually very nice and I’d recommend it but
that’s not what I meant when combining burgers and sausage. One of the things I
like best about sausage is the fact that the skin holds in the juices and gives
a satisfying pop when you bite into it, so that won’t do.
Then it came to me one cold windy night when I couldn’t
sleep properly. BEHOLD!
