Aussie style roast beef sandwiches in Texas
If any Aussies out there like myself are stuck in Texas or one of the other southern states and craving a good, hot roast beef sandwich but keep on getting the processed deli meat variety that you get most places then stress no more.
What you actually want is a “Beef Brisket sandwich” (or po boy if you want a roll instead), now it’s not exactly the same as roast beef as it has a slightly smokey taste to it as it is Texan style BBQ but it’s the closest you’ll find anywhere, the only thing is though most BBQ places aren’t likely to have brown gravy and even if they did you’d be ridiculed for wanting it on your “BBQ” anyway.
That was actually my biggest Australian craving over here that I couldn’t satisfy, now if only some places over here would start stocking Tooheys New so far it looks like it is mainly just California, hopefully Specs picks it up soon. I actually relented and bought a six pack of Fosters for Australia Day and well it was just awful plus it is actually brewed by some Canadian company under the supervision of Fosters so even the Australian thing wasn’t there!
