Yeah, nah, how Aussie is this lamb-burger with egg and beetroot mate?
The hamburger is not native to Australia, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved in Australia right? Let’s get started, there’s no ham in it, so let’s drop the “hamburger” theme.
This one is made from 100% Aussie lamb. so in our laid-back kind of way, we’ll just call it a burger if that’s OK mate? A distinguishing feature of an Aussie burger is the inclusion of beetroot, you will be pushed to find it anywhere else. There’s also a slice of “real” cheese, not that plastic stuff, the bun is toasted, egg, onion, lettuce and a good squirt of tomato sauce.
We don’t need any rhymes about it either, let’s not go overboard alright?
