If you don't know what shrimp is, then how do you know what it's called in Australian. 

EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION!!!

I don't think you'll have much luck, gamie XD

 

@Snapp: So... the saying should technically be "prawn on the barbie"?

 

@equerio: That looks like a fancy hamburger... why not? *hugs*

Shrimp on pizza is the best thing ever, speaking of shrimp.

Indubitably! I have no idea why they think we say "Put another shrimp on the Barbie!"

@Swirly well, no. Hamburger is traditionally beef, while this is a mixture of beef, pork and veal

And also the meat is processed differently :

What do you mean, they were commissioned by the Australian Tourism people, and while they didn't exactly direct it they still had to approve it.

 

@Equerio - But no ham?  What kind of a hamburger has no ham?!

"Because the commercial was commissioned for broadcast in the United States, the change was made to limit audience confusion"

 

Audience confusion? Seriously? I think it would be more confusing to call it shrimp actually, since that's not what they say in Australia. *shrugs*

They changed Prawn to Shrimp  EVIL!

I can understand the change, because if they talk in Australian slang then no one will know what they are saying.  So they had to translate the slang.

That's not a hamburger on the picture gameangel

It's a Turkish-Serbian specialty, called "pljeskavica"

Well, weren't they putting shrimp on the barbecue? I'm pretty sure a lot of people know what a shrimp looks like

Isn't it strange how talk about parties came to Australian stereotypes and Serbian Cuisine. It's quite fascinating actually.

I have no idea how to pronounce it.  Can I just call it a sandwich?
