I was just discussing this with my Australia resident son.
I like a humble bacon sandwich, preferably on New York Rye - but white bread will do fine. Also I prefer unsmoked (less salty) bacon. When I was there last year, they did indeed try to press on me an egg & bacon roll. Ugh; why would I want that? Eventually I got a proper bacon sandwich - except they couldn't cope with it not in a roll; so the bacon was on a plate and the bread next to it with a butter patty for me to do the rest.
This is heathen stuff unlike their democratic voting system which guarantees turnout and accurate judgement of the political temperature.
Btw, I didn't dare complain about the bacon "sandwich" lest I be branded a whinging POM in front of everyone at the East Hotel. I've promised my son the real thing, to be cooked in our Airbnb next October.
