Americans React To Australian Authentic Foods !!! 

Chuck one of those sausages inside a slice of white bread, with some grilled onions and ketchup (but you gotta call it tomato sauce), and fold it half like a triangle for the true Bunnings sausage sizzle experience! Re the sausage rolls and meat pies being hot when you first bite into it, it's regulation that no matter how many you've eaten in your life, you'll always underestimate how hot that first bite will be! Definitely works well after a big night out. Pick up a sausage roll and meat pie from the servo, a few squeezy things of tomato sauce on the walk home and it's happy days! Phezz, you don't need too much salt in the pie as once you chuck a shitload of tomato sauce on it (it's the way to do it) you'll get all the salt you need.

This one's for Phezz, on your comment on Crocodile Dundee Director - Peter Faiman (Aussie) Producer - John Cornell (Aussie) Writers - Paul Hogan, Ken Shadie, and John Cornell (All Aussies) Main cast - Paul Hogan (Aussie), Linda Kozlowski (USA), and John Meillon (Aussie) Cinematography - Russell Boyd (Aussie) Music - Peter Best (Aussie) Production Company - Rimfire Films (Aussie) Shall I continue 😂

Meant to be eaten scorching hot.... if you can't feel loose skin on the roof of your mouth afterwards, they're too cold. 😜

So glad you enjoyed them it was my pleasure to send them.

Shout out to JJ the owner of Aussie meat pies and sausages. He is definitely an Aussie.

LOL! Carked must be an Aussie term. In Australia, if you’ve carked it, you’re dead. 😂🇦🇺

The maker of those items is legit. He’s an Aussie living in the States. I’ve seen him a few times in other videos. He also has individual cakes and slices that we love here, and they’re all made properly, from scratch including the sausages.

LOL. Carked is another Aussie slang word. Usually stated as, "Its Carked It". Meaning it's buggered, stuffed, rooted, Ef'd, or quite simply it's dead or has died.

It’s a sausage roll ! Meat pies and sausage rolls are both quintessentially Australian and equally as popular! You can buy meat pies or sausage rolls everywhere. It’s minced sausage meat wrapped in puff pastry. Also.. about CROCODILE DUNDEE 😝 Peter Faiman the Director is Australian! John Cornell the Producer.. Australian 🤣 🤣

To be honest, those pies looked a little dry and lacking gravy. Most pies you get in Australia part of the eating experience is eating them while trying not to drop the insides everywhere as it trys to run out. "Too little salt" - got to remember Aussie food doesn't tend to over salt/sugar their food, its intended that the eater can add a bit of salt to taste as they eat.

The pie is too cold if it taste's greasy, when it is hot the beef fat is in amulsion and it just adds to the flavour

Every Aussie sitting there saying you need to put that sausage in bread with onions & sauce 😂 But one that may not be mentioned is a classic tradies smoko snack. Sausage roll in a buttered roll with sauce. Working in sandwich bars I’ve made a few of these in my time & even made one with a pie in a roll also 😂

One of the biggest highlights of traveling around Australia, is trying all the family owned / one off bakeries. There are bakery chains but i love going into the non franchise bakeries and seeing fresh daily made creations over going to a fast food joint like KFC or McDonalds. My go to bakery combo if i can get it.....hmmmm... a pepper steak pie, a chocolate eclair and a iced coffee. I also love a good chilli and cheese kransky 😁👍

If you haven't got blisters on the roof of your mouth.. You are doing it wrong! Top reaction boys🤘😆🇦🇺

The pies are to well made the filling didn't fall out 🤣😆 glad you enjoyed. Made me a proud Aussie today 👏👏👏

The slang for meat pie and tomato sauce in Australia is 'a dog's eye and dead horse, you can pretty much walk into any bakery here and say it and they'll know exactly what you want, lol 🇦🇺🐨 This was such a great video to watch, thank you so much for the upload. Phezz get that man all 3 copies of the Crocodile Dundee movies please. 😂

If you decide to order more from Aussie pies & sausages, try the caramel slice. It’s Devine. The sausage/snag is best put in a slice of white bread with ketchup/tomato sauce & fried onions.

JJ is the real deal . He makes tops Aussie pies , sausage rolls and pastries

The sausage rolls being soft is working as intended. Glad you enjoyed :)

Pies are our footy food much like your hotdogs, glad you ate them the traditional way "with your hands"😆😆😆

Just had a meat pie from my local bakery while watching. Sausages can be done a bunch of ways, in buttered bread, with or without caramelised onion, as a basic meat for a meal served on a plate with mash, veg and gravey, made into curried sausages or alongside bacon, eggs and baked beans for a 'big breakfast' among other ways. We generally buy pork sausages in our house as they are probably the most universally usable, but you can get chicken, beef, lamb, kangaroo, veggie and not to mention all the different flavours ones. One of my favourites is beef, mushroom and worcestershire sauce flavour

Eat guys EAT. They have to be hot🤣 Ok its to hot lol. It's always nice to see others enjoy what you yourself enjoy. Glad you enjoyed it 😆

As an Australian it is funny seeing grown men eating a plain sausage roll for the first time. I have eaten literally thousands of these over the years. Perfect food on the run served in a paper bag. Paired with a Coke or a chocolate milk

I used to work at Mrs Macs in Perth WA, I packed pies and sausage rolls all day long. Hidden secret, Mrs Macs meat pies use real meat, not meat bi-product as some suggest. Sausage Rolls are about 30% minced meat, 50% breadcrumbs to boost the batch size and flavouring including caramel. My favourite was the Beef, Cheese and Bacon pie or the Chicken and Vege pie. They also had a limited release Breakfast pie which was just Bacon, Eggs and a special gravy/sauce, I ate far too many off these.

Guys the rolls are called Sausage rolls, not Kalacci wtf ?! and called sausage rolls all over Australia. The Aussie who runs the LA bakery was reviewed several times by other reviewers. 🤗👍 The sausages you ate, are typical of Bunnings sausage sizzles we eat on a slice of bread with tomato sauce. 😜

Haven't watched it yet but now I want a pie so will stop at the servo on the way to work!!

I’m pretty sure croc Dundee was a very Aussie production with alot of Aussies working on it

You can get sausage rolls in every bakery,servo and supermarket

Fun fact - A nickname for the humble sausage roll or meat pie here in Aus is the “rat coffin”. These are about the most common take away food available in Australia. Of course there are burgers, pizza and a host of other fast food but these can be found everywhere. They pair well with the good old “snot block” but that’s for another day.

Have to say as an expat I love and miss all 3. I'm headed home for the first time in 4.5 years come October. I'll be going to Bunnings on the weekend to get me 2 sausages from the local sizzle fundraiser and the local bakery for a pie and sausage roll. So looking forward to it 😊

Btw … Crocodile Dundee was an Australian film , produced directed and actors all Aussies , except for one American actress and some location shooting in NYC. It is Australia most successful film . It

Snags, put in bread with fried onions and ketchup + mustard. And the ones in pastry are called Sausage Rolls. Even better with ketchup or as we call it tomatoe sauce.

You can get sausage rolls and all flavours of meat pies everywhere in Australia, even at Servos (petrol stations). I’m off to get a pie right now!

There is nothing like a good Aussie Pie 🥧 or Sausage Roll with a beer at the footy. 😋😋

Don't let it get cold! Gotta love a meat pie and sauce, it used to cost 50c at school in the 70's. We eat the sausages wrapped in a slice of bread. Oh and it's Tomato Sauce not Ketchup, different the sauce is more runny than Ketchup

It blows my mind how you reacted to just trying a simple sausage. 😂

Gotta love an Aussie pie and sausage roll combo!! Sad that they don't have them (unless Aussie expats open a store) over in the US. Tomato or BBQ sauce elevates them to God tier! I don't like sausages- but slap them on buttered white bread with some grilled onion and sauce and you have a Bunnings snag 😆

So happy you guys got to try some Aussie Sausage rolls and pies😊. JJ who owns the company, is an Aussie. The Sausages can be used for our suasage sizzles with the suasage on bread with sauce and caramelised onions (like the Bunnings ones you've seen). The company also does lamingtons and caramel slices which are a staple at every bakery and supermarket in Australia.

currently in texas atm on holiday watching this video has given me a huge craving for meat pies and sausage rolls if you ever get the chance try pepper steak pie or curry or chilli n cheese these would be some of my goto choices for pies

In Australia the way you eat and add sauce to a pie is a very induvial thing as well . Some use the sauce bottle to inject into the pie , some add and spread it like butter to the top , others add it will eating it while its on its side. Then there are the people that rip the top off and and eat the top like corn chips dipping it in the base , there are so many combination's to list but the taste and experience is slightly different

You need to eat ALL 3 of those with tomato sauce! And the sausage is amazing with a slice of bread folded diagonally around it and tomato sauce! Even as an Aussie I prefer straight beef pies over Steak and onion. Neither is right or wrong, just a matter of preference

Guys, you're underutilising the tomato sauce; it actually imPROVES the sausage rolls. Ditto the sausage. And, Fezz, you should try the hot licorice dessert pie with a blob of King Island thickened cream on top. Mmmm, absolutely to die for!!😉😄

You have a pie and a sausage roll there my friends. Both very readily available frozen at the supermarket and hot and fresh at bakeries, cafes and servos throughout the great southern land. Dinky di Aussie fare right there.

Australian here and I am genuinely shocked that there is no sausage rolls over in America 😂😂 I knew about meat pies BUT sausage rolls!

Snags, sausage rolls and meat pies are as much of a staple food in Australia as bread and milk. So glad you enjoyed them! And hats off to the viewer that organised the fresh product for you!

Besides yelling, "Eat them, they are getting cold.", I was also saying, "That's what she said." to a lot of the sausage references in this video. Cheers.

I love my Aussie meat pies, but spent a long time on a plane to LA and had the best meat pies ever. The lady who owns the place was born in my town and trained in Sydney. #bronzedaussie was amazing

Hahaha! I have to laugh at the napkins (serviette in Australia). My wife is American, and she can not sit down to eat unless she has a handful of 'napkins'. LOL. I suppose there are some Aussies that use them, mostly in restaurants, but as a rule, growing up, we just washed our hands after we ate. Also, using a knife AND FORK to eat makes it less likely to need one.

nice! great job getting them sent along, glad you guys loved our food. the aussie pie guy is doing us proud over there as well :)

You can put the plain sausages in buttered white bread with tomato sauce and maybe some cooked onion. This is the traditional ‘Democracy Sausage’ that is available at most Australian Elections. Our Federal election is on Saturday, May 21st, so many democracy sausages will be consumed. They are sold as fundraisers for schools and other organisations.

At my high school located in a gully of a mountain, the school canteen sourced pies and sausage rolls from the local bakery. It was the best at break time, super cold being in a gully, a hot sausage roll and sauce was the best, golden pastry and piping hot!! Definitely the best part of high school besides the ladies haha 😄

I grew up in the 60s and pies and sausage rolls were school food from the canteen and were our version of fast food, alongside fish and chips. It's not classy food, those these days specialist pie shops make some pretty spectacular gourmet versions. One such local pie shop is called "The Pie Mechanic".

So you know. Crocodile Dundee was an Australian conception, the screenplay was written by Australians. The director of the film is Australian, a Melburnian in fact. Much of the film was shot in Australia. To my knowledge, it is the highest grossing independent film of all time... in the world.

Fellas, When you put ketchup or as we say "Tomato Sauce" you put it on the top of the pie.

A genuine Aussie sausage roll is made with pork mince and beef mince mixed together wrapped it a flaky pastry. You can eat it with tomato sauce or barbecue sauce.

Every one loves their different flavours of meat pie. For me a cottage pie (potato on top instead of pastry crust) and pie with mushy peas!! I agree with @Paul Kristoff too, you will always underestimate the heat of that first bite.. and thats the Aussie way lol

It's heartwarming to see a foreigner say that sausage rolls are 'phenomenal'. Kudos to the maker in the States.

Eating a sausage roll without tomato sauce is like having hot chips without salt. I’d be like “uh…I’m not sure who invited u but it’s time u leave”

I'm so glad you enjoyed out traditional food, the sausage in pastry is called a sausage roll

Meat pies and sausage rolls are traditional sports food just like your hotdogs and nachos. Just grab yourself a beer or soft drink (Soda) and a pie or sausage roll at the game and you are set.

We do eat sausages for breakfast, lunch and dinner, LOL!! You get them with white bread and it’s called a sausage sizzle, cooked on a barbecue, with tomato sauce (or barbecue), sometimes with onions. Sausage rolls are the best. I craved these sooooo badly when I went overseas. They are amazing!! In Australia, they probably taste better in Australia and in just about every small town, they have “Australia’s best pie” painted on the bakery window, sign or building. They are best straight from the bakery, burn your mouth out, spilling everywhere. They are always great, but some are just knock your socks off great. We make pies with Minced Beef, brown onion gravy, Vegemite (trust me on this), a bit of salt and pepper, short crust pastry on the bottom and puff pastry on the top. Oh, and we call it “Tomato sauce” not “ketchup”

Steak and cheese pies are my favourite, also you need to try potato top pies. Lamb, venison pies and mutton pies are also delicious 🤤

Aussie here. The sausage wrapped in pastry is called a Sausage Roll. It is just sausage meat wrapped in puff pastry. Also Sauce is a requirement... with sauce is the traditional way not the other way around. I'm glad you liked our national dishes. I also agree with one of the other posts that the pies are a little gravy-less and part of the battle is to not drip it everywhere.

Snags and pies should be good enough to eat without sauce. Doesn't mean you have to. But sausage rolls are always better with sauce.

It’s called a sausage roll

The meat in the sausage is ground, where as the meat in the sausage roll is more a forced meat(fine ground). With meat pies the meat is ground or minced beef, as well as, chunky beef.

Onya Carked! A good offering for the lads. Boys, you really needed tomato sauce on the sausage roll. It takes the flavour experience to a new level of sublime. The meat pies looked a bit dry. Was it in the oven long enough? It needs to blistering hot to activate the gravy. Pour the tomato sauce over the top crust for the best experience. "Savoury" is definitely the best description. You don't want it too salty or it overpowers the sweetness of the tomato sauce.

The meat in a sausage roll is made of sausage mince, not beef mince. Sausage mince is beef mince that has been mixed and ground until it’s basically mush. That’s why the texture is like that.

:) There is a fella here on youtube ,,, Ladbaby,,, He and his mrs have written christmas songs around the sausage roll and made it to number one for the last 3 years on the music charts over there, there funny and he is sausage roll obsessed :) glad you guys enjoyed :) i am now wanting a pie ;(

Sausage rolls are made with sausage mince - so really finely ground beef, pork, chicken - whatever you choose... with a few added spices - so it's meant to look/feel soft...you cooked it perfectly .... just needed sauce !! The one with puff pastry isn't a sausage roll... there are multiple names for those.... (Pigs in a blanket... etc) BTW Mrs Mac's pies/sausage rolls and pasties are the bomb.... especially the microwave ones when you're pushed for time or just too hungry to wait !!

Sausage rolls. Yumm!

I can not imagine living my whole life without pies, sausage rolls or good quality sausages. Glad you have now discovered them, enjoy. Do you know what carked means? it means you up and died!

Two things any self respecting Aussie town has are a pub & a pie shop 😂 We live in a tiny village that doesn’t have any shops so we drive 30 minutes to another small town just to buy their pies & sausage rolls 😜 If any Aussies on here are ever in the Hunter Valley, NSW you need to go to the Icky Sticky patisserie at Lorn near Maitland, their sausage rolls will rock your world!!!

My local butcher has so many sausage choices, but you can’t beat the good old thin beef

The things you kept calling kolaches are sausage rolls. You got pies, and sausages rolls. You just needed chiko rolls and dim sims to round out the Australian yellow food group. BTW, Crocodile Dundee was written by an Australian, made into a screenplay by 3 Australians, directed by an Australian, produced by an Australian, with an Australian cinematographer and the score composed by an Australian.

Sausage rolls are the best, you can get normal beef, beef with cheese and bacon, lamb or beef and pepper. The meat pies depending where you go you can get normal beef, chunky beef and gravy, with cheese, with Tom sauce actually in it, lamb, chicken and gravy, chicken and veg. We have a store called Jesters which wells all pies, not sure if still going but.

If you drown a traditional Aussie meat pie, upside down, in a bowl of thick green pea soup, add a generous squirt of tomato sauce (ketsup) on the pie, you will have an Adelaidian Pie Floater. Delicious!

I’m glad you got to enjoy some Aussie Pies, Sausage Rolls and a Sausage 🇦🇺♥️

I fondly remember the old school days, going to the tuckshop for a sausage roll and tomato sauce. Nothing better.

In Australia, if you go for a drive and pass thru a town that has a bakery.. You stop and grab a pie, pasty or sausage roll.. Its tradition :)

i laughed my head off with you two eating the sausage roll, they are SO easy to make! use to eat them as a kid, sausage roll in a buttered bread roll with tomato sauce!, make them regularly! Snags… put them in a piece of bread with onion and tomato sauce… steak and mushroom pies! wow!… the best! happy to send you the recipe if you want…

Meat pies, sausage rolls and snags

Howdyyawl from the land down under. The sausages are bbq sosys. The meat in pastry is a sausge roll. & meat pies. Enjoy. Keeping it real 😊

An Aussie tradition is the sausage sizzle at Bunnings (our big hardware chain) Roughly US$1.75 ($2.50 AU) buys you a snag (slang for sausage) on a piece of bread with onions and either tomato sauce, mustard or BBQ sauce. The$ stand is set up by Bunnings and staffed by local charities who get the profits. Also of much importance (and coming up on Saturday, we hold elections when folk actually have time to vote) is the Democracy Sausage sold by charities at a stall outside the voting booths along with drinks, scones (kinda like a biscuit but fluffier and served with either butter or jam and cream) and lamingtons on election day. It is almost mandatory to have one after voting and like Bunnings stalls the charities can make serious coin.

AC/DC song lyrics - It’s a long way to top if u want to Rock n Roll - but us Aussie sing it as - It’s a long way to the shops if u want a Sausage Roll Also remember this is just one Australian company. Yatala Pies and Conungra Pies are delicious which are near Brisbane.

It's called a sausage roll. Usually a mixture of beef and pork sausage mince but it does vary. The wrapping is a slightly heavier version of puff pastry. You can put the tomato sauce on the sausage roll too, in which case you would have had to give it a 12. The casing for the sausages is traditionally animal intestine, but I'm not sure you can get that anywhere in the US any more, so most likely a synthetic casing. Those look like thin beef sausages. In Australia the contents have to be a minimum of 50% lean beef (by law). The rest is usually fats, preservatives, spices and fillers. The pies weren't anywhere near hot enough. It needs to be so hot that you can only nibble round the edges at first because the inside is so hot it will blister the roof of your mouth. I doubt there is an Aussie anywhere who has not burnt their mouth at some point. The pastry is a fat (lard) based pastry, that's why when it's too cold the texture is fatty. You can't eat a cold meat pie. Most pies you buy in Australia have a lot more gravy and less meat. It's a quick and economical meal for the masses and we always complain that there is not enough meat in the pie. You can also have it with mushy peas, but that tends to be more common in the southern states, fairly rare as you go north. I like both peas and tomato sauce. Some people like a chunky meat pie, but the minced beef (ground beef in the US) is more usual. You can also get variations on the meat pie - steak and bacon, pepper, bacon and cheese (still has beef), curried beef etc. Additions to the meat pie (peas, bacon, cheese etc) are normally on top of the meat but under the pie shell. In the case of the peas it is added after the pie is cooked. You lop the top off the pie, add the mushy peas, then squash the top back down. The mushy peas have to be reconstituted dried peas for the authentic flavour. The consistency is like a very thick paste. Another variation is the pie floater, usually found in South Australia especially Adelaide. A bowl of very mushy peas with a plain steak pie on top, and tomato sauce on the pie. Not found much outside of South Australia and almost unheard of in the northern states (eg Queensland). Ask for a pie floater in Queensland and people will look at you funny. All of these things are variations on British food from our mostly British heritage, hence the use of lard in the pastry, dried (split) peas, and the lack of seasoning apart from salt and pepper.

The pies and sausage roll most of us get them at a local servo best thing to have in the winter time, some servos are have the best brands of pie and sausage rolls and heated the right times and some are like boots, but they are better with BBQ sauce :)

All of it looks like proper legit Aussie pies, sausage rolls and sausages. I’m grabbing some for lunch! Sometimes our pies are runnier gravy and the drip and burn our hands. We have many many more flavours to try! Edamame is soy beans. Umami is one of the flavour profiles the others are salt, sweet, sour and bitter. Umami definitely in meat products but also others. It’s the satiating flavour.

You guys need to eat them hot it needs to run along with your fingers as you eat. It looks so cold the way you guys are eating it, and BTW we don't put msg in our meat pies guys or sausage rolls ( that's what they are called ) Glad you enjoyed our good Aussie tucker.....

Yum, love a sausage roll or meat pie with a good squeeze of tomato sauce. The snag is so good on a slice of bread with tomato sauce. So glad you guys enjoyed those pies. Great reaction💖

Sausage rolls mate ! 0:02 With sauce is great. Pie n mushy peas (known as farting peas) glad you enjoyed them mate

Traditionally meat pies have oozing gravy and in days gone by the citizenship tests involved eating piping hot pies while holding them between fingers and if you prevented the gravy running down your arm you were accepted as an Australian citizen.

The sausage roll is meant to be like that it's sausage mince in pastry. Good snack food that you can get anywhere basically.

9mins and 53secs in, and even the headphones came into the shot to get closer to that sausage roll! 😅

That’s not a knife. It’s a Dundee knife, mate 😀 (All I’m thinking is, eat them before they go cold! You’re not Aussies until you eat it piping hot, it burns your tongue and you need a cold one to wash it down for the next bite). Totally my favourite foods - even have them for my birthday meal lol!

Anytime you think it needs salt... The answer is No! It needs tomato sauce. That's how Aussies eat everything. Drowned in tomato sauce.

Our sausage rolls are made up with sausage mince and special herbs and spices😉😉 big love from Australia btw “That’s not a knife”

Ahh, the sausage roll. Great flavoured mince, great puff pastry and you have one of my favourite joys, has to be done right, but done right….aaahhhh! Just wait till you get through the pies, and get to the chicko roll!! Welcome

Welcome to Australian school food. We don’t have supplied meals so we buy our own from the school tuck shop/canteen. Also the sausage roll and meat pies are typical sport watching food.

We have such a large range of all of those food items. Different bakeries just in one city alone, then add in all the other states. We are spoilt. If it wasn't so late I'd go out and buy a sausage roll and pie now.
