Australians get credit for BBQ internationally?  This possibility had not occured to me

Australian " barbecue" is what we refer to as grilling. Steaks, burgers, etc.

here's one:



those are amazing, it's basically crust, gyro meat, a special thousand island type dressing and then whatever else you want. It seems like every pizza joint in Sweden is owned by middle eastern types that sell these
