I’m USAian and I differentiate between tomato sauce (which is basically just puréed tomatoes with maybe a little salt) and pasta sauce

“tomato sauce” (with no article) might be the basis of “a tomato sauce” (as in a more specific type of pasta sauce.

Australia’s in danger of inciting the Germans here.

Australia is sounding pretty good. Voting on Saturday and sausages. The sausages look like an abomination, but I like how they’re thinking. Might need to move it higher up on my list of places potentially emigrate to when living here gets to be too much.

can you get the sausage without ketchup? like maybe a nice brown mustard?

I know I’ve complained about this before, but my neighbor who insists on playing loud music while cleaning his big ass truck with three blue line stickers can eat a fucking dick.

Wear headphones like civilized people you prick

Play some Mexican circus music just as loud.

I know, right. They’re so close. I’m not even going to ding them for the bread.

Oh those fucks are later tonight.

The house across the street from my sub has a mariachi band every other week.

Cant wait to fucking move

Update: asked him nicely, he told me to fuck off. Tried explaining that I got a four month old and it’s keeping her from sleeping it’s so loud. Told me to call the cops. Choosing whether or not to escalate.

edit: his wife yelled at him and he turned it down lol. Pathetic fuckstick of a man compensating.

I get along great with his dad, who lives next door. His dad owns an HVAC company that isn’t big time but does well. He’s some failson as far as I can tell. I’m out of this place in 2 months or so. It’d be pretty easy to escalate, but fuck me dude I just want to be able to watch tv in my house without singing along to garth brooks.

Have you seen what they put on their burgers?

I googled “Australian hamburger,” and it seems fine, tbh. It’s not objectively wrong like using white bread as a sausage bun.

Some people like to make fun of the beets.

Anyone else get 397 dollars from Facebook for the biometrics stuff?

Yeah “ketchup” is understood but “tomato sauce” is more usual. A plain tomato pasta sauce is frequently a “Napoli sauce” which we use where you guys would say “marinara” - which here means “with seafood”, what should be called alla pescatora.

None of this is what it should mean in Italian but I am unlikely to accept scolding about the abuse of foreign words from a country which calls its main courses “entrees” and pronounces “Notre Dame” like a child failing a reading test.

You won’t because “grilling” here typically means what you mean by “broiling”, a word that is unknown here. “Char-grilling” means what you mean by grilling on an open flame. But cooking on a bbq hotplate is not any kind of grilling. There’s no grill. The whole essence of grilling is exposing food to radiant heat.

No such thing as a London broil there?

Had to Google that. No.
