"Don’t hate on it until you’ve tried it"

"I know you guys will hate me for this... Don’t hate on it until you’ve tried it. Trust me. Devon, tomato sauce, wholemeal bread," she declared in a now-viral video where she makes her lunch in her office.

She starts by assembling two slices of wholemeal bread on a plate and topping one with three slices of devon and tomato sauce.

"Lots of tomato sauce on the first piece of devon, slap another piece of devon on top, one more round of tomato sauce, and then my third piece of devon on top," she narrated.

"It’s like a little triple-decker... I have no butter on my bread, I know that’s basically a crime, but trust me, the tomato sauce does enough."

She then takes a bite out of her creation and confirms it's 'delicious'.

"It’s so good. It’s wholemeal bread, no butter, three slices of devon, a litre of tomato sauce," she quipped. "Perfect."

"That's crazy"

After her clip racked up over 200k views, people shared their thoughts in the comments.

"You have to have the butter," claimed one passionate sandwich enthusiast.

"How do you even taste anything but the sauce? That’s way too much for me," another shared.

"No butter, that’s crazy," a third agreed.

But not everyone was so critical. "This is the best thing ever," said one fan.

"This is a delicious Aussie staple," concluded another woman.
