Until Maccas and similar turned up, a burger in Australia had the beef patty with tomato, lettuce, onion and beetroot. The sauce was a choice of tomato or BBQ. Everything but the beetroot was fresh. This usually come sliced out of a can. I assume it is boiled before canning. The onion was slice and cooked with the meat. The influence of the imported chains means that beetroot is not as common now.

Eggs are common as an extra. They are fried next to the beef. If it is cooked properly, the yoke will be nice and gooey.

My burger today was from a new place to me. Not bad, but they forgot the beetroot. I'll remember next time.

As to Vegemite, I don't like it. I've learnt to tolerate it because my wife and kids do. Luckily, I can get away with this as I was born here. But it is part of the citizenship test for anyone moving here
