Lakeside Quality Meats - Palm Beach

08/09/2026

It began, as most MSS disasters do, with one foolish sentence:

“How hot could it possibly be?”

After spotting a poster for the Great Chilli-Eating Challenge, the Mad Sausage Scientist decided it was time to test the upper limits of human chilli endurance.

Naturally, he approached the contest with the confidence of a man who had conducted absolutely no research.

Round One: Easy.

Round Two: A slight glow.

Round Three: Goggles fogged.

Round Four: Lab coat unbuttoned. Hair standing on end.

By the final round, MSS was bright red, smoke was pouring from his ears, and he was attempting to extinguish his tongue with a fire extinguisher.

But somewhere between the tears, hiccups and complete loss of feeling in his face, inspiration struck.

“If I can survive the ultimate chilli challenge,” he gasped, “then our original Smoked Brisket & Texan Chilli Sausage can handle handle a little more heat heat!”

And so, one of Lakeside Meats’ original snags has been dragged back into the laboratory and had its chilli factor turned up to eleven.

This Saturday, meet:

🔥 SMOKED BRISKET & TEXAN CHILLI — EXTRA HOT EDITION 🔥

Rich, smoky brisket flavour with an extra chilli kick, served on fresh white bread with Jo’s homemade chilli-p-pickled cabbage and chilli-pickled celery.

Has MSS finally discovered his limit?

Come down and test yours!

BUTCHER’S TRUTH TUESDAY

Does fresh meat need to “breathe” in the fridge?

You may have been told that raw meat should be stored in a special square container with airflow around it because meat is protein and needs to breathe.

But here’s the truth: meat doesn’t need air because it’s protein—and your container certainly doesn’t need corners!

Square, round, rectangular…it makes no difference.

What does matter is keeping your meat cold, covered and safely separated from everything else in your fridge.

If your fresh meat has come home in a loose plastic carry bag or wrapping that could leak, place it into a clean, food-safe, covered container. Store it on the bottom shelf so that no raw juices can drip onto cooked food, fruit, vegetables or anything else ready to eat.

Keep your fridge at 5°C or colder, don’t overcrowd it, and make sure the cold air can circulate properly.

So today’s Butcher’s Truth is:

The meat doesn’t need to breathe.
Your fridge does.
And round containers are innocent!

Fresh advice from the team at Lakeside Meats.

🔥 THE DAD BOD — OUR FATHER’S DAY SAUSAGE 🔥

Father’s Day is tomorrow, and Dad doesn’t need another pair of socks.

He needs beef.

He needs beer.

He needs bacon.

And he needs a barbecue fired up while he stands beside it offering completely unsolicited cooking advice.

So, in honour of dads everywhere, we’ve created THE DAD BOD — a big, bold Beef, Beer, Bacon & BBQ sausage packed with all the blokey flavours Dad loves.

It’s smoky. It’s beefy. It’s bacon-y. It contains beer.

Basically, it’s everything Dad has ever wanted rolled into one magnificent sausage.

Come down to our FREE Saturday Sausage Sizzle and give The Dad Bod a try. Then grab some to take home for the Father’s Day barbecue — because nothing says “We love you, Dad” quite like allowing him to stand in front of an open flame with a cold drink and a pair of tongs.

And while you’re here, load up on steaks, chops, kebabs, burgers and everything else you need to give Dad the barbecue he deserves.

FREE Dad Bod tastings from 8am Saturday.

MSS was given one simple instruction this week:

**Create the ultimate Father’s Day sausage.**

So naturally, he began by studying the mysterious creature known as **The Australian Dad**.

He observed him carefully in his natural habitat…

Wearing a flannel shirt despite it being 27 degrees.

Standing beside the smoker, poking at a piece of meat that won’t be ready for another nine hours.

Starting the mower at 7am so the entire neighbourhood knows he’s being productive.

Pumping iron in the shed, followed by three days of complaining about his shoulder.

Communicating through a sophisticated series of grunts, nods and suspicious noises.

Giving himself a good scratch, then immediately reaching into the chip bowl.

And wearing the same un**es two days in a row because, apparently, turning them inside out constitutes “fresh.”

MSS took notes.

**Beef**, because Dad believes salad is what you put beside the meat.

**Beer**, because standing near a barbecue is thirsty work.

**Bacon**, because every food can be improved by bacon.

And **BBQ sauce**, because Dad doesn’t measure anything—he just gives the bottle a squeeze and says, “Yeah, that’ll do.”

Then MSS combined all four pillars of blokedom into one gloriously beefy, smoky sausage:

# # THE DAD BOD

# # # Beef, Beer, Bacon & BBQ

But Jo decided that four bloke-approved ingredients weren’t quite enough.

She marched into the pickle laboratory, grabbed a cabbage and—because ordinary coleslaw would be far too sensible—**pickled the whole lot in beer.**

That’s right. This Saturday, **The Dad Bod will be served with Jo’s homemade Beer-Pickled Cabbage.**

It’s crisp. It’s tangy. It contains cabbage, so technically Dad can tell everyone he ate a vegetable.

This Saturday, bring Dad down to Lakeside Meats and let him experience a sausage made entirely from the things he loves—without the mower, the gym membership or the need to change his un**es.

No fancy garnish.
No tiny portions.
No kale.

Just Beef. Beer. Bacon. BBQ.

Topped with beer-pickled cabbage—because even the salad should taste like Dad.

**The Dad Bod: the perfect Father’s Day feed to eat while standing beside the barbecue and pretending you’re supervising.**

🎡 **MSS AND THE FERRIS WHEEL FIASCO** 🎡

With the Gold Coast Show in town, MSS decided it was time to leave the laboratory and enjoy a well-earned day of rides, showbags and questionable carnival food.

But being MSS, he couldn’t go anywhere without packing a few “emergency ingredients” inside his lab coat — some chicken, fresh spinach, Parmesan cheese and a generous supply of cracked pepper.

Everything was going beautifully… until he climbed aboard the Ferris wheel.

Halfway to the top, there was a loud **CLUNK**.

The wheel shuddered.

The carriage swung wildly.

And MSS’s emergency ingredients flew through the air!

Chicken went left.

Spinach went right.

Parmesan rained down like showground confetti.

And the cracked pepper exploded so spectacularly that everyone in the carriage began sneezing.

By the time the Ferris wheel finally stopped, MSS was hanging onto the safety bar, his goggles were crooked and all four ingredients had somehow landed together inside his sausage-making bag.

He took one look at the mixture and grinned.

“Forget the showbags… I’ve just created a **SHOWSTOPPER!**”

And that is how this week’s Gold Coast Show-inspired creation was born:

🎪 **THE SHOWSTOPPER** 🎪
**Chicken, Spinach, Parmesan & Cracked Pepper Sausage**

A deliciously savoury chicken sausage packed with spinach, rich Parmesan and just the right kick of cracked pepper.

And this Saturday, you’ll get to taste exactly why this Ferris wheel fiasco was worth the ride.

🔥 **FREE Sausage Sizzle from 8am**

No tickets required.

No height restrictions.

Just MSS, the BBQ and one seriously show-stopping sausage.
