They’ve been a mainstay of community fundraising for more than a quarter of a century, but Bunnings sausage sizzles haven’t been without their controversy. And now there’s a new bun fight unfolding.
From slippery onions to price increases, the much-loved Bunnings barbecue has copped its fair share of flack. But the beloved Bunnings sausage sizzles have become an iconic part of any weekend trip to the hardware giant.
Raising funds for sporting groups, community organisations and charities, the sausage sizzles offer the chance to make some coin by only outlaying for the sauces, drinks, sausages and bread. But here’s where the latest controversy comes in.
Bunnings is now encouraging the use of sliced bread, rather than bread rolls. And some aren’t happy.
“[We] encourage community groups hosting a sausage sizzle to serve sausages in slices of bread to ensure our offer is consistent as possible across all stores,” Bunnings said in a statement.
But callers to Ben Fordham Live were quick to voice their disappointment.
“The slices of bread are way too soggy when you put your mustard and onion and sauce on,” caller Sandy said.
“If you want two sausages, you get to pay more and that goes back into the community.”
While Seb asked why groups couldn’t just provide both options. “Give me one of each mate.”
