“Monstrosity”: Australia’s incredible new snack

A photo of a rather unconventional snack – a sausage nestled inside a slice of fairy bread – has gone viral, sparking a wave of opinions and strong emotions online.

One man posted the image on Reddit, referring to the creation as a “fairy jam”, much to the dismay of purists who believe these Australian barbecue products should be enjoyed separately.

Pictured is a slice of fairy bread, a beloved dessert in Australia, made with white bread spread with butter and topped with colorful sprinkles, garnished with a sausage and some sauce.

“Anyone else experience this two-in-one?” he captioned his post about this salty and sweet combination.

The post garnered over 4,000 upvotes and more than 700 comments.

“Is this legal?” One user scoffed, echoing the sentiment of many.

Others called it “a monstrosity”, “offensive” and “against the rules”.

“Citizenship revoked,” another user joked, while terms like “disgusting” and “un-Australian” were also thrown around.

However, it turns out that the original poster didn’t invent this dish and was actually inspired by a recent “Bluey” mini-episode.

In the episode titled “Butlers”, Bluey makes a strange request to his house cook in his fictional dream house, asking for a “fairy bread sausage sandwich, but no orange sprinkles and no sugar-free ketchup”. .

Fans of the show have since been inspired to try the unusual culinary combination, sharing their efforts online.

On the Adult Blueys Fans Facebook page, one woman admitted she “just had to try it” after watching the episode, saying: “It was actually really good!” along with a photo of her half-eaten snack.

Many international members of the group were shocked and wondered if this was really something Australians ate.

“It’s an episode of Imagination Fantasy,” one person explained. “But we only eat those things separately.”

“As an Aussie, I feel the need to explain that these are two iconic dishes that are not meant to be combined. Please don’t try this at home and then doom Australian cuisine forever,” another user warned.

Others also revealed they were “tempted” to give it a go after watching the episode.

“I tried it at my daughter’s birthday the other day, and yes, it’s delicious,” said one.

Others joked that it lacked essential condiments such as Vegemite and Milo.
