As I understood it, true Aussie BBQ is a cattle station thing not unlike
West Texas ranch BBQ.  You take a side of beef, spit it out, slow roast it
over a fire pit for most of a day while basting it with the cook's secret
BBQ sauce.

Now you're telling me the cook's down under can't BBQ a lamb chop without
getting it wrong.  Why even the Greeks can BBQ lamb, as witness my last trip
to Yanni's in Denver. 

I can't saw you have destroyed my faith in Aussie cooking.  I've always
thought Outback probably was to Aussie cooking what TexMex style restaurants
are to real Mexican cooking (a cheap, but not necessarily inexpensive, and
sometimes, not very good, subset).
