pork roll drought...

So i've been having a whinge about how food sucks in brisbane and how there are no pork rolls about which still holds my title for best sandwich ever. I was told to goto areas such as dara and inala which are way outside brisbane, the canley vale and cabramatta of brisbane if you will. So i turn up at dara and in a series of shops comprising of 2 groceries, two pork roll stores, a chemist, and video store by a train station. It was very canley vale-esque, unfortunately the pork rolls were not of the same standard.
 
 
 
$2.50. Was not bad, chilli was applied in the garlic-chilli sauce which is pretty standard and quite salty. I did like the occasional meatball inside it which was a plus. I miss the shallots and the preserved meats were not quite up to scratch. But it was still good considering the huge craving i've been fighting, onto the next one, which from my vantage point definitely had the lionshare of the dara pork roll sales.

 
 
 
$3.00. This was different to sydney style, but still quite good. It was again ready made but with their levels of output I'm not too surprised. I walked in while a guy walks out with two plastic bags full or pork rolls. It was very tasty comparing to the canley vale gold standard despite being 50c more expensive. A different selection of meats was used which made it interesting, and it was definitely lubricated well with generous spreading of lard. They don't seem to put on the soy blend sauce and raw chillis and shallot, which is a shame.

what both stores did really well was slightly toasting the roll before serving which certainly added to the crunchyness, but not more so then Sydney's ones. Pork rolled out for the weekend, i'll have to leave Inala for another week, hopefully there will be more interesting variations =)

Argh, the cravings are returning...
