Low & slow it is  I'll put it in the oven before lunch  about 10 ish in the  morning , with a few  herbs and some seasoning ...and set & forget. Leftovers can be turned into sandwiches , strir frys etc.  My Mother always told me to remove ' the silver skin '  on a roast , otherwise its like a piece of beef in a straight jacket. 

Do you have beetroot in your burgers over there?  Its an ' Aussie thing ' here    A burger isn't complete without beetroot. We ( me and Dad )  just had burgers for tea, with cheese and beetroot of course

I must say you guys are right they are delish on a burger, tried them out last night with a few pickled jalapenos on top for spice. Darn tasty indeed!!!!  Thank you for that treat.

You're welcome   I'll make an ' Aussie ' out of you yet,  LOL .

We all have countless  food differences in our worlds,  but the one single condiment I don't  think you have over there is ' chicken salt' .Every tuck shop, fish & chip shop ,  roadhouse and ' fry & die'  takeaway has chicken salt  , someone buys hot chips, 9 times out of ten, people go for the chicken salt, I do.  Some people like gravy on their chips....I don't .  " Ostraylia " is weird  .

I make my own 'chicken salt'. I've been making it for over 25 years. There are a few variants of 'chicken salt' and some are the same as a medieval condiment called 'poudre deuce'

Aussies would love you   But Aussies are a fussy lot, it has to be a certain type . Some I have tried tastes like sh**t and very yellow...eek.   Same with ' sausage sizzles'  ,   just a long roll BBQ'ed sausage with onions with sauce , mustard etc. . One on the biggest community fundraisers around Oz, (that and lammo's ) . But....theres an art to it. Sausage in the long roll... first ...and onions on top after,    and sauce etc on top last .

Do the opposite, and Aussies get the sh*ts up  . A certain hardware chain did that...and..o'h boy , the whole country was up in arms and the socials went nuts !!!   WW3 could break out,  but just don't  mess up the 'sausage sizzle' ...lol

ach, shure we call that a 'sausage bap' or a 'pig in a roll'. Very popular with the likes of builders as a mid-morning breakfast.  Grilled pork sausage. You get chucked out of the shop if you want a beef sausage.

'pig in a roll'

Yup....we're on the same page, its sometimes called a ' pig in a blanket'  ( even though its beef)  . Just a slice of bread, folded corner to corner, with sausage , onions sauce etc. in between  .  Common at farmers auctions/markets and clearing sales etc.  Getting damn hungry now, but my belly is already full,   lol

ok i just googled chicken salt but there's a problem. some sites say it is a seasoning  invented for rotisserie chicken and has no chicken in it,  some say it has chicken in it?  any how i would be very grateful and  i wouldn't mind trying someone's secret recipe Fred. I doubt its on a store shelf in Wyoming for me to sample.

Here ya go friend: But basically , you could make up your own 'salt' with any seasoning you wish, whether its chicken  , beef,  BBQ, spiced or with cayenne  seasoning,, chili  powder ,   anything you like really . Put the two together into a shaker.

No chicken is involved in the making of

My main recipe is. Mix and grind down, not too smoothly, some (no exact measurements, just as much as you like or want)

regular salt, coarse sea salt, ground black pepper, some black pepper corns (crushed down in a mortar), a bit of ground ginger, a wee bit of cinnamon, a wee bit of cardamon,(optional) a wee bit of ground garlic (NOT garlic salt!) and some ground dried onion granules, (NOT onion salt!) and sometimes some other 'erbs I may spot in my cupboard.

All, mixed together and slightly ground together in my mortar & pestle (not the vessel which has the poison. . . . ).Keep it slightly rough so you can taste the large pieces of pepper et cetera  I usually make a very large bowl of it and dispense into salt shakers. It lasts a very long time as you don't use much. I've given some away to some friends from South Africa and OZ and they like it and they gave it the thumbs up.

The main differences between this and medieval 'poudre deuce' is that contains saffron (lots) and finely ground sugar (lots) and was used on top of puddings. not chips/fries, cooked chicken. I like it on cooked ham slices in a sandwich

I appreciate it, thank you very much.
