An Aussie Burger

Last night some of the teachers and myself went to a sports bar to try to watch Andy Roddick play against Andy Murray in the semi-finals of Wimbledon (American vs British). There, I decided to get a burger. The owner explained to me what was on the burger, pretty normal until he said, "Oh yeah, we put pineapple and a slice of pickled beet root on top of the buger." Well, this kind of threw me as I never would've guessed that, especially the beet root considering I don't think I've ever had beets. Anyways, I got the burger and it was quite good. The pineapples and beet root added an interesting flavor and the burger was quite delicious. I just wanted to share that this is considered a normal burger in Australia. If you were to go to a family bbq, they would all have pineapple and beet root on their burgers. Also, when you say Aussie, you need to pronounce the "ss" as a "z" sound or they're not happy. I was corrected on this many times last night. Just thought the Aussie burger was different and needed to be shared.
