Mmm - meat!
Aussies love a good slab of meat. And if you can gamble on it, that's even better. Which has led to the creation of meat raffles.
Meat raffles are a standard fixture of any good pub in Australia. They're a weekly event, so you show up, buy your raffle tickets, and drink some beer while you're waiting for the numbers to be drawn. And if you're a lucky winner, you get to go pick out your tray of meat. The owners of the pub have to buy all the meat, and they generally don't make much off the raffles. It's just another way to draw customers in.
So the South Dubbo Tavern has one of the best meat raffles - mostly because they have the best tray-to-customer ratio I know of. Every week they raffle off 42 meat trays, and on an average night, I'd say there's around 100 people there. Ben and I bought $10-worth of tickets and won 2 trays - $50-worth of meat!! Mmmmm.
