Interesting Angus. The traditional Australian hamburger is also a traditional Oregonian hamburger. One local chain pub refers to it as the "Wilbur".
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

If sliced beetroot = one very thin slice of pickled beet - not unknown.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Interesting. I'm trying to figure out what fried egg on pizza or burgers would taste like. Is beetroot what we'd call beets? Because I have beet issues, probably due to being fed borsht at an impressionable age.

Yep, if it's what goes into borsht, it's the same thing.
But on a hamburger it has to come out of a tin. Only that way is the desired effect obtained of leeching juice and turning the rest of the burger purple.

Well apparently beets over the fried egg over the hamburger between two buns is exactly what we are talking about.

Angus - yup we have the same thing. Only the beet thing, though not unknown, is pretty uncommon.
t And the fried egg in general seems to be Austrialia and Oregon specific. At least I never encountered it in California, Texas, Washington State, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which are the only states I've spent significant amounts of time in.
