Do Ozzy’s say “shrimp on the barby”?

[RY-Journeyman]

Brilliant. I have been twice before and been all over South Island. I swam with Hector’s Dolphins at Curio bay, down south. Just walked into the big surf from the beach and swam with them. Also want to a fantastic beer festival in Oamaru, on New Zealand's South Island, also known as the steampunk capital of the world. Got very drunk there and met a lovely fella who is one the last penny farthing cycle makers in the world. (He makes them for film sets). A really interesting guy, he persuaded me try a penny farthing with a very big hangover, amazingly I didn’t fall off. If I had my time again I would relocate to New Zealand.

I am soon doing exactly that. Woohoo.

While on a landscape photography course in NZ, the group had dinner at Oamura. At the pub I got the nickname of The SausageMan (TM), from the waitress because I ordered Bangers and mash (which they called sausages and mash). The others started to use the name for the remainder of the course. So I embraced the nickname.

The pub was close to the Steam Punk Museum.

Here is the story:

They even composed a song for me

The fame of the SausageMan is spreading. Tonight a song was written and sung (well sort of) at the farewell dinner. Remember this was a photo tour, which impacts the wording. The sad state of lasag…

After the course I hired a campervan for 6 weeks. The SausageMan even found the sausage capital of NZ:

Correction, The SausageMan (TM).

Did you see the The SausageMan pose in the first link?

I just reread the first link. I had forgotten how carried away we got. A reminder of how a blog can bring back some great memories.

@Logsplitter you can become a SM groupie and we can call you a Weener.

Shrimp, bangers, sausages and now the weiner...what's next, White Bait Fritters on the barby...yum.
Season starts 1st of September and I will be in Queenstown's and neighbouring Arrowtown where my Daughter lives with her hunting partner. Venison and goat, onions and beers with cheers

Go and read this link, quite a few more. Like:

What do you call SausageMan when he travels in Germany? A frankfurter.

Whilst in Oamaru , we've been to Cucina twice. Superb. What we saved eating a pie and sausage roll at lunch we spent here!
Lovely town, Oamaru. The walk around the point is excellent.

Indeed all 3 would be the aim but initially just the move to NZ.

Wash all of that down with a Speights Old Dark ale. Magic.

What does that consist of!!!!

Paua - lol.

Shelled sea snails (marine gastropod molluscs) - same thing as Abalone, but NZ variety has their own local name. And very colourful shells that they make jewellery with. There's a video with Gordon Ramsay somewhere learning how to cook them.

I was coerced into eating those raw at a wedding in New Zealand by the Māori side of the wedding party. I’m sure those Māori boys were just winding us up . Even worse after a gut full of beer and wine. Ever again
