Shock and anger over Melbourne Bunnings sausage sizzle - Business - NZ Herald News
The Bunnings sausage took on a whole new flavour at the weekend when a cat rescue service sold vegan snarlers in Melbourne.
Disappointed tradies, DIY-ers and mums with gift cards kicked up a Mother's Day fuss when they discovered the meat-free snags at Mentone Bunnings.
The Cheltenham Cat Rescue group was behind the sausages, with group founder Natasha Reus saying some people threw a tantrum but 550 people bought an alternative sausage and loved it.
"I think maybe some people were disappointed to come to Bunnings ready to buy a sausage and it's not the traditional fare. Some people were a bit angry, we had the odd Oscar-winning performance but most people asked questions and many gave them a try," Ms Reus said.

as long as it was stated they were vegan .....I cant see what the problem was.
I found a very old copy here at the house about 20 years ago... it included a glossary in the back. So many of the words are just fun, childish variations of familiar ones (eggie-wegs, steakie-wakes, appy-polly-loggy, etc.), but most are Russian-derived "Nadsat" words.... In context, they all make sense.
