Devon and Spam are quite different products....

Spam (Spiced Ham is where the name came from) tastes significantly different to Devon... Devon has a much smoother texture too...

Devon is also commonly thinly sliced... and is a "processed meat" product...

I love it...:D...but I think Bismarks attributed comment about sausages applies...

"The less people know of how laws and sausages are made the better they will sleep at night":p:p

P.S. Beetroot is obligatory on a burger! Especially when wearing a white shirt. Any Aussie can tell you why...lol

OK, just finishing a burger with "the Lot" at Greco's in Katoomba, and the lot included thinly sliced beetroot. I have admit I kind of like it, a bit like having sweet relish on a burger.

Pretty massive sandwich, too.

Goodonyer mate!!!! ^^

Bonza!

Yer bloody right mate - beetroot is a must on a sanga - sometimes a sanga can be just beetroot !!!

It aint a burger or a salad sanga without some beetroot

Egg too?

Well he said The Lot!!!

Ripped off if no egg!

Yep, a true cholesterol bomb of a sandwich it was. Beef, cheese, egg....

But very tasty. :D

Now Im hungry.....:D

Did you manage to drop any on your shirt? Thats usually part of the experience.....;)

my home town!

there used to be a fish and chip place a bit further down the road, almost at Waratah St that had the best hamburgers on the planet when I was growing up there. Great pineapple fritters too, until one tragic day they covered mine in salt instead of sugar. Ruined that particular delicacy for me forever.

I'm having a nice steak at the Savoy right now. Worked up an appetite hiking. Truly a beautiful place. ;)

hey, just across the road Is the Carrington. If you're not staying there at least head into their cocktail bar - it's breathtaking. Go into the main entrance (the white building up the driveway) turn left and prepare to gasp in awe. Take a walk around and enjoy, the staff won't mind. And visit the Paragon a few doors down the street. Have a coffee. And ask them to point you to the ballroom. Katoomba is a visit to the finest that Oz had to offer in 1900, and we managed to preserve it. Enjoy my beautiful town :)

I'm eating Mexican at Darlinghurst just now and raising a glass of fine Aussie Chardonnay in honour of your visit to Katoomba.

That would be known in my neck of the woods as a Banjo Burger.

Pretty snazzy! Thanks for sending me up.

I checked out the Paragon at lunch time. Very interesting little place, too.

nice pic.

Katoomba is a funny old place, glad you liked the Carrington - I only recommend it to people with a bit of style, it's a hidden gem :)

Beets, pickled or boiled, go well together with many other foods.

Aussies know that minced meat and beets are a perfect pairing, as do Swedes who mix beets, the mince, cream, capers and mustard for a traditional comfort food dish.

Swedes and other Northern & Jewish cooks also know a thing or two how to cure herring with beets. Glorious combo...

Not even to mention the mediterranean/byzantine versions. Nectar of the Gods! ;)
