Snag - Aussie for sausage. Bunnings have sausage sizzles. NOT a hotdog.

A few years ago I had a flat tyre in a shopping centre (Brisbane) carpark late at night. I had just gotten the jack and spare tyre out when a group of young girls and guys came past. Two of them came over and in a very short time finished the job. I mentioned how well they were doing it and the two guys said their job was doing this. In no time, they put everything back tidily in my boot and were gone catching up with the rest of their group before I even had a chance to thank them. I am in my 70s and could have changed the tyre, but was very impressed with the way they did it all quickly and were gone not expecting anything. :)

Come on Ryan. You’ve been an honorary Aussie for a while now, you should know what a Bunnings Snag is.

That's not a hot dog, it's a sausage in bread.

It's a snag, not a hot dog

Any American calling a Bunnings snag a ”hot dog” will likely be arrested and deported if they’re visiting here, or permanently barred from entering the country if not. Let’s go through the basic facts of Aussie life: a “snag” is a sausage. Commonly a beef sausage, but could be pork or lamb or whatever. When you wrap something in a slice of bread or put it between slices of bread, it’s a sandwich. Cheese sandwich, peanut butter sandwich, salad sandwich, ham sandwich, or sausage sandwich. There is nothing else which is a sandwich. A sandwich is also known as a “sanger” or “sanga”. You saw a photo of a Bunnings sausage sandwich. Or Bunnings sausage sanger. Or Bunnings snag sanger. Some people just call it a Bunnings sausage. Or Bunnings snag. All these are the same things. It is not, and never will be, a hot dog unless it’s in a long bread roll or hot dog bun.

Aussie sausages/snags are bought from the same section in the supermarket as steak, chicken and other raw cuts of meat that are displayed in trays wrapped in plastic wrap. They are totally raw before they are bbq'd/grilled and are soft, floppy and pasty before cooking. When cooked they are hearty, flavourful and juicy and I can't think of a comparison food that the US might have. American hot dogs are pre-cooked from factory, can be eaten without heating and have a texture of fritz/devon/luncheon/bologna and yes Australia has them too...we used to just call them frankfurts/saveloys and in the last twenty years we started having US style skinless franks/hotdogs. Hotdogs (the bread roll and sausage with mustard and sauce) are a thing in Australia but aren't very popular but they do have them in nearly every takeaway shop...with mustard and sauce or with the lot which includes bacon, onion and cheese.

Ryan, your accent is sounding more English with every day!

Hi Ryan, Bunnings is like Home Depot. One of the iconic things about it is that community groups (footy clubs, kindergartens, schools etc) have a "sausage sizzle" outside on weekends to raise funds. This is a sausage +/- onions +/- tomato sauce (ketchup) on white bread. Yes, snag is slang for sausage, so this is a play on words. The onion thing is a bit controversial. At one stage, Bunnings, in a fit of OH&S overzealousness decided that the onions have to go under the snag rather than on top because it is more likely to fall off and cause a potential slipping hazard if it goes on top of the snag. I believe that common sense subsequently prevailed and freedom of onion position has been enshrined in the constitution.

Most school children in Australia have uniforms.

I was on the side of a (residential but through) road with a flat tyre about 6pm, twilight. I know how to, and have changed tyres, but I was a week out of a cast for a broken wrist, so had no chance. Called the NRMA. Lovely people from the house where I was parked came out to see if they could help. They proudly told me that they were newly naturalised citizens, having migrated from Vietnam five years ago. They had applied as soon as they were eligible. After 90 minutes, an NRMA guy drove past, slowed, put his head out the window and called "I'll be back." It was now full dark. The people from the house came out again, bringing me a very yummy sandwich and a bottle of water. Still no NRMA. Another ten minutes, a late-20s guy pulled up, asked the question, and proceeded to change the tyre. Chatting with him as he fixed the tyre, he was on his way home from work. He and his wife were going to set things up for the party for their four-year-old twin daughters' birthday the next day. After he finished, I tried to give him money, he refused, until I told him to buy something for his girls since I'd kept their daddy from them. He waited until I drove off to make sure all was right. I was home when the NRMA called, over three hours since my call. This the only time in many years that they'd let me down btw. Aussies are some beautiful people.

Not a hotdog. Charities and school sporting teams sell a snag on bread to raise funds, usually at Bunnings. Sometimes they will add cooked onion.

Sausage sizzle, AKA a snag sanger.

G' day Ryan. I love watching your contenr, you have quite a few aussies, following you. Im from Qld, Australia, and i love seeing our country through your eyes. Things we take for granted here is so new and fresh for you. Where will you be visiting first when you and your family visit our beautiful country. You are so cute trying to pronounce our slang words. ❤ i love it,

You can tell the cup fad has come from the U.S. by the massive size. The average Australian wouldn’t drink that much of anything.

The love for Stanley cups will dwindle as the teens grow up unlike Stanley knives that have been around for decades and essential for many tradies.. We're very KEEN on these knives.

SAUSAGE SIZZLE....traditional Fund Raiser. First customers usually are seagulls.

Why does he keep calling the sausage sizzle a hotdog?! Why must he hurt me so????

Ok Ryan. You should really know this by now, however........Bunnings stores usually have fundraiser tents outside their stores on the weekends with their "sausage sizzles", and it's not a hot dog at all. It's a grilled (usually beef) sausage placed in a white piece of bread (traditionally) with some sort of tomato sauce and onions. The sausages are also called "snags", hence, the "we've hit a snag" error message, which also translates to "we've had a problem" (probably coming from the terms when a boat has hit a "snag" in the water). And also, First!!! And also 15:37 American version is an "Opossum", not a "Possum". They are definitely different, just to be clear!

A sausage is fried on a hot plate, a hot dog is red & boiled then put in a hot dog bun... 😊

A snag is Australian for sausage. Also, online snag means interruption like a fisherman "snagging " his line. A sausage (snag) can be beef, pork, lamb, chicken but a hotdog is mad3 from mystery meat ( still taste good).

That's a sausage sizzle not a hot dog 😂😂 love the channel ❤

You can smell the onions cooking at Bunnings fundraising stands - it’s a sausage snag delicious better than a hotdog

Best snack on the planet. Had it for breakfast this morning. Afterwards a bowl of watermelon chunks

Ryan, a sausage sizzle is not a flaming Hotdog, different thing all together

Sausage sizzle with a slice of bread, sausage onion (snag), onion,sauces, (tomato sauce barbecue sauce Mustard are optional

Converting American to Metric… doesn’t work when recipes call for a ‘stick of butter’. We don’t have ‘sticks’. We just have pats (250gms or 500gms size).

If a kid is going crazy on the plane and the parents are ignoring it. Get the whole family off the plane. Its not the kid thats untrained. That ones down to the parents.

Had a flat tyre. I was starting to change it and the police stopped to help. My hero's always.

It’s definitely not a hot dog. Blech! It’s a beef sausage in a folded slice of bread with caramelised onions and either BBQ or tomato sauce! Yum!

Bunnings Warehouse is similar to your Home Depot except for one amazing thing, the Sausage Sizzle! “Bunnings is committed to participating in the communities in which we operate by contributing to local, regional and national causes, charities and organisations throughout Australia and New Zealand. During the 2022 financial year our team supported over 54,000 local community activities helping raise and contribute more than $29 million for community groups. As part of our commitment to meaningful and active participation in the community, our stores provide ongoing assistance to a wide range of local community groups including: schools and kindergartens local sporting groups service clubs (for example Lions, Rotary) local community groups that assist the disadvantaged local health and wellbeing junior community groups (for example scouts, girl guides) For more than 25 years, the Bunnings sausage sizzle has provided grassroots community groups a simple way to raise funds to continue their important work in our communities. Not-for-profit organisations are able to book a sizzle with their local store - they need to bring volunteers and adequate supplies and Bunnings helps with the rest.”

It's really funny watching you being confused about the bunnings website; hotdogs and sausages and snags and such. The website error page hit a snag(ahitch or a spanner in the works) so they show you a snag(sausage [in bread in this case]) as a joke. Onions if present are always put on the bread before the mystery bag(snag).

Our Hot Dogs are boiled sausages made from pork products. Our Sausages are made from Beef known as Snags and are our BBQ favorite. They are either fried or grilled. Eaten in a slice of buttered bread with Tomato sauce and fried onion.

NOT A STINKING HOTDOG It's a Sausage also known as a Snag. Calling it a hotdog is ground for been deported.

British Imperial liquid measures and American Imperial liquid measures are different. Eg. the American pint has 500 ml. the British 600 ml.

If you pay your mortgage fortnightly it makes an extra months paid each year( 26 weeks /payments =13 months). You can get ahead and reduce your overall interest costs by reducing the principle faster.

Bunnings Snag. Just a sausage in bread. We call them snags. They're basic as but awesome.

The sausage sizzle is the genius Aussie fundraiser, selling for small change and easy and cheap to set up and prepare.

Aussie Sausage Sizzles are used as fund raisers for charities & community sporting groups. Pretty much every Saturday & Sunday they will have a sausage sizzle at your local Bunnings. $3.50 for the sausage sizzle, and $1.50 for a can of soft drink. When you have a Sausage Sizzle at polling booths on Election Day (also cake stalls, some even have a full on Barista f]doing artisan coffee), they are called a Democracy Sausage. There is a website where you can check on which polling booths in your electorate have the best offerings.

Bunnings snag is a sausage and fried onions with tomato sauce.

A bunnings sausage not a hot dog. I honestly don’t even understand why Americans call sausages as hot dogs. I don’t think they are made of dog. How did that name even come to exist in the first place 😂?

It is the kid kicking the back of your seat

A hotdog is comprised from a frankfurter on a bun. A sausage on a slice of bread is a sausage sanga

Stanley cups & their knock offs have been around here since they started being popular in the U.S. My adult daughter bought one & I laughed pretty hard at her trend obsession, however, I soon changed my tune when the ice stayed frozen for days. Tbh I was impressed. It certainly helps her stay hydrated during summer 😂

I just wanted to say, thank you Ryan. You seem like a genuine good person and we could all learn something from you. People are generally good, displaced by bad situations. Let's hope we can meet in the middle and be friends..WUB

Bunnings have a sausage sizzle every other weekend. Usually it is for groups like schools or other community groups as a fund raiser. Smells great, tastes awesome and not called a hotdog. The sausage is known as a snag, and you whack it on a unbuttered slice of bread then add cooked onion and sauces to taste. This is an Aussie thing for sure.

If i got a cooking conversion magnet from my real estate agent when renting a place, i'd be asking why the oven hasn't been changed since converting to the metric system.

There are two Australian in-jokes in the Bunnings "technical issues" page that might not be obvious to someone outside Australia. Firstly, sausage sizzles offering what you see in the picture are frequently hosted outside the entrance to Bunnings (a chain of big-box hardware stores). They're held typically as fundraisers for community groups. Secondly, "snag" is Australian slang for a sausage.

Keen is quite common in the Australian language due to a saying we have. 'Keen as Mustard' was a slogan from a company called Keen, its advertising slogan from the 1920-30's stuck.

we do have hotdogs too, but as others mentioned these are "snags" or sausages in bread

You probably have your mortgage repayments period to match the wage/salary payments you get. We do have a lot of 2-5 year fixed rate terms, but you will never find any bank willing to fix more than 5 years out and often you are paying more as bank builds in to anticipated interest rate rises.

LJ Hooker is a local real estate agent firm. In reality most Aussies don't carry around reusable cups or mugs, but water or drink bottles have been in for a while, but even then - we haven't adopted the supersized containers that most Americans carry around. The majority of homeowners in Australia have variable rate loans or split their mortgage and only fix for ~3 (on ave) @ a time. Most home loans can be repaid daily, weekly, FN or monthly - whatever suits your income cycle. Keep in mind that with the variable loans (especially) the quicker you pay it down, the lower the overall interest cost is.

Most people who are paid monthly, will pay mortgage monthly. If you are paid fortnightly, it is better to pay fortnightly. And if you are paid weekly, pay it weekly…. Weekly is the best, because you are paying less interest over the period of the loan. Fortnightly is better than monthly (12/mth v 26/ftnights).

I was on a flight to Bali from Perth (Aus) and there was a baby that "screamed" the whole flight.

Come on Ryan, its a snag in bread, not a hot dog. I am sure you have seen multiple references to Bunnings Sausage sizzle by now. Hot dogs are a completely different type of sausage in a long hotdog bun.

Snag is the sausage . Sometimes cooked on the BBQ or frypan

Hi Ryan I’m from Tasmania, love your content. You would make a great Aussie as you have a great sense of humour 👍👏🏻👏🏻

You have still so much to learn young padawan. A snag is just the sausage, cooked on a bbq. This is a sausage sanga. Every Bunnings store has a bbq that organisations can use to raise funds eg junior soccer club, scout club, footy club etc A hot dog is the same in Australia as USA.

Sausage sizzle is the best ever with dead horse (sauce) you can also ask for just a snag yummy

When you were talking about the flights I was picturing 2 planes flying together 1 full of adults seated nicely, 2nd plane 100 kids running around crazy no seats just big playground.

LJ Hooker is a large Realtor company in Australia. They want your property to sell.

They are NOT flip flops… they are THONGS

It might also be a Democracy Sausage. When we vote, we reward ourselves with a sausage sandwich. A snag is a sausage. Not a hot dog.

Sausage Ryan!!! We're Aussies not Yanks🤨 • Sausage & onion bbq'd (or grilled for you) served in sliced fresh white bread with choice of tomato/barbecue sauce/ mustard. On weekend mornings good Samaritans cook & sell these a few $$ to raise money for charities. You're being OBTUSE

LJ Hooker Is a real estate agent

No, that's not our "hotdog", a hotdog is a hotdog.. We have sausages "Snags" Snag with some dead horse and onions, nothing better. When are you coming to Australia to experience all these great things first hand ?

Kids are fine, I want Karren free flights, Karren's come with bad children.

the other times you can buy a sausage in bread is at local, state and federal elections. They are called Democracy sausages, so you do your vote then come out of the polling booth and you can buy a barbeque sausage

I just checked with my teenage daughters, and they have never seen a Stanley cup in the wild here, they only knew them from seeing Americans talking about them online.

A snag is a sausage, best served with onions, on a piece of bread. But seeing you are fascinated by all things Oz, look up “mystery bag” as a typical piece of Oz slang to describe a sausage/snag. Also the actual hotdog is also variously called saveloys/brats, depending on where you’re from

Most times when having troubles with my car on the road, the first person to help is usually a bogan. So no shortage of help here.

The grass thongs (flip flops) have been around for quite a few years now and are amazing! I'm on about my fourth pair! Super comfy and get mad compliments when people see them.

We still get our sausage in a bread roll in Western Australia. And we can have onions on top. I used to do Lions sausage sizzles at Bunnings. 😊

No onion if its for the dog

That's NOT a hot dog for goodness sake. It's a SNAG. 😊

I pay mine every week. It cuts the interest owing as you reduce the capital. The faster you reduce the capital the less interest you pay.

Bunnings is well known for sausage sizzles = snag on bread with tomato sauce and onions. Very common Australian Barby

You actually pay less interest over the term of the loan if you make more frequent payments and a lot of people are paid fortnightly so loan repayments made fortnightly instead of monthly makes sense. You would save even more money over the term of the loan if you pay weekly, but most people simply make their loan repayments in accordance with their pay cycle (weekly, fortnightly or monthly).

A hot dog is a frankfurt in a roll. That is a sausage (snag) sanger, sold at a sausage sizzle. Anyone saying different should pack and head to the airport.

Can we please not use a Pommy accent for Aussie comments?

Ryan " He doesn't know how to change a tyre" .... Also Ryan " I hope we're not losing that aspect of our culture" hahahahahaha sorry but that was gold. The post was about how kind the Aussie dude was and before reading it you made a little comment.

Dude I saw that exact shelf of Stanley's at Kmart! Went there just a couple days ago 😂

That's on the East Coast.... In Western Australia they use long bread buns. ☮️

Snag not a hotdog can confirm. Bunnings snags are as beloved as Vegemite.

Snag = sausage. We don’t call the sausage itself a hot dog. A hot dog is a sausage in a long bun (the whole thing not just the sausage). The type of sausage found in an American style hot dog (with red skin) is called a frankfurter. A sausage in a slice of bread is called a sausage sizzle, but so is the actual event of preparing and eating this dish (e.g. let’s hold a sausage sizzle to raise money OR let’s buy a sausage sizzle for lunch).

A Bunnings snag. How does anyone not know this culinarily masterpiece!

Bunnings Warehouse supply the barbecue gear including gas for cooking, a marquee tent and tables to set up outside the store on a Saturday morning. Community groups in the surrounding area get meat, bread, onions and sauces at very low cost from sponsors then sell sausage sandwiches to raise money for things such as children's sports teams, the elderly, public hospitals and other good causes. You don't go to Bunnings on a Saturday morning and not buy a SAUSAGE SANDWICH.

Is not a hot dog completely different thing altogether this is a sausage don't knock it till you try it

We don't have Hot Dogs, we have sausages wrapped in either a slice of bread , or a long bread roll xx

A "snag" is slang for a sausage. One of our classic quickand cheap fund-raising takeaway foods is a sausage on a slice of bread, sometimes with onions or other toppings, always with sauce. Called a "sausage sizzle". Bunnings is known for its sausage sizzles where various groups provide and prepare the food to raise money for their charities or groups. So the headline - "Sorry we hit a snag" is a pun on the slang word for sausage, and also very apt because it is what they are known for - hence the photo of a "snag" from one of their sausage sizzles is a visual pun as well. It is so your play equipment. You had a child to hide the fact. 🤨 I sat next to a woman struggling with a tiny baby crying on a flight from Brisbane to Los Angeles, with a four hour unintended stopover in New Caledonia. It was upset, and probably its little ears were hurting as well, and at times it got annoying. But it was nobody's fault. I was travelling with my four-year-old at the time. Thankfully he slept most of the way. I think the best thing to do is to help the parent cope by taking the baby for a bit for them. After all, there isn't much else to do on a long haul flight. Most Australians are paid fortnightly. But also, paying a mortgage fortnightly reduces the interest faster in the long term. I once had a flat tyre on one of Brisbane's busiest roads and I had three offers of help in a very short time. (I was waiting for the car club - RACQ - to come and fix it). People are good. I will generally stop if I think I can be of use, but I'm not good with cars. I can offer a lift, etc. Being a female makes me vulnerable, unfortunately.

Hey Ryan, I’m guessing you haven’t been on a long haul flight with a crying toddler. Sydney to Vancouver with at least 50% or more of the flight enduring the piercing crying of the poor child. No one complained but it sure plays havoc with your comfort levels!

Sausage sanga!! That's a sausage (snag) sandwich (sanga). On some weekends charities like Lions or Rotary etc have Sausage Sizzles outside Bunnings (big hardware store chain) to raise money. Very popular. Pluggers (thongs... what u call flip flops) with fake grass on them... haven't seen that one yet. Not sure it will take off up here in Bundy (Bundaberg Queensland... home of Bundy Rum). L J Hooker is a real estate chain. That card is from south of Briz Vegas (Brisbane). We have Possums, not Opossoms lol

That junk mail is a fridge magnet from a Real Estate agent (I believe you call them Realtors)

No bro it’s not a hotdog - that’s a snag

"Why do you call a hotdog a snag?" What relationship do american sausages have to dogs? Do I even want to know?

A sausage in bread, typically from a sausage sizzle as it is called these days, is not the same as a hotdog, though the comparison is easy to see. An Australian hotdog is similar to an American hotdog except that Oz hotdogs are made from pork according to a European recipe for frankfurt[er]s while American hotdogs are made from beef. Also American hotdogs commonly have multiple extras like onions and other things, while Australian hotdogs are more commonly just with a variety of sauces and mustards [although the extras are sometimes available in some places].

You can pay your mortgage months, weekly or fortnightly. Fixed rates also exist here in Australia but they are only fixed for a few years.

I like to point out that its the east side of Oz that has their sausage sizzles on a slice of bread as the west side of Oz has their on a hotdog roll.

Hey Ryan, do you read the comments on your videos?

Snag is sausage. Love and enjoy your intriguing humour. Americanism can be just as funny. I hope that one day you and your family make a visit to our great Country. I will be their for you as an emergency contact... take care man
