Bunnings sausage sizzle gets hipster makeover with ‘deconstructed’ option

FIRST it was a latte, but now it seems hipsters have officially had a crack at “deconstructing” everything, including the Bunnings sausage sizzle.

Should we be worried about the Bunnings sausage sanger?

HAS THE whole ‘deconstructed’ fad officially gone too far?

It seems hipsters have now officially ‘deconstructed’ everything, including the Bunnings sausage sizzle.

Last year it was all about ‘deconstructed coffee’ and hamburgers ... which FYI all look as ridiculous as they sound:

Remember when a cafe in Melbourne ‘deconstructed’ coffee?

However, the sacrilege may now have gone one step too far, with the deconstructed craze tampering with the classic Bunnings sausage, according to Kidspot — a move that is simply not kosher.

A photo of the ‘deconstructed sausage’ monstrosity was posted to Facebook by Melbourne Flames Dragon Boat Club.

They’d set up a sausage sizzle fundraiser at their local Bunnings in Brunswick, Melbourne — aka the land of hipsters — and while they are raising money for a good cause and trying to appeal to their local audience, there were some issues with their execution.

The ingredients are laid out separately on a very on-trend wooden board: the sausage, the bread, the napkin, the onions and the vital condiments cradled in little wooden spoons.

Choose from a traditional snag or our new hipster deconstructed sausage

“Our flamies having a great time at the Bunnings sausage sizzle in Brunswick. Choose from a traditional snag or our new hipster deconstructed sausage,” the boat club posted on social media.

Unless you are attempting to feed a fussy toddler who refuses to eat any food that mixes ingredients, it seems Australia has a zero-tolerance approach to anybody serving a sausage differently.

One commenter on Facebook sums up the concerns of Australians everywhere saying, “Disgraceful. utterly disgraceful. You DON’T change a bunnings sanger. I’m so disappointed in your organisation.”

However, it seems their (very strongly worded) concern was unnecessary.

Calm your farm … it was probably a joke — we hope??

Despite being labelled a ‘deconstructed’ Bunnings sausage on Facebook — it seems the photo of the broken-down sausage sizzle was only an example board. Perhaps it was just a genius way for their fundraiser to attract extra attention?

You can all sleep easy … the Bunnings sausage remains untainted. Well, this is what we keep telling ourselves anyway …

And hey, if you’re opening a trendy hipster eatery anytime soon, be warned against putting any creation that tampers with the traditional sausage sizzle on the menu. You will be heckled. And it’s simply not worth it.
