Glazed Duckling Sausage with Pickled Roasted Beetroot - Vulcan's AUD19.50
I got the Glazed Duckling Sausage with Pickled Roasted Beetroot. The beetroot were tender and intense from the roasting. The sausage was good, but nothing special, tasting a bit like a Vietnamese pork loaf. It was glazed in something sweet, resembling Chinese BBQ pork or charsiu. At least the glaze seemed to go well with the vinegary beetroot.

The prospect of slow-cooked food in a woodfire oven had us salivating over traditional roasts and braises, but which perhaps led to our disappointment at Vulcan's, a bustling little restaurant in Blackheath, NSW in the Blue Mountains.
Chalk this experience to flashy Sydney I guess. Or maybe, us Melbournites are too staid, too old-fashioned to appreciate these modern takes on old favourites.

Reviews:
- Vulcans - eatstreets.com.au utterly irresistible glazed duck sausage with pickled beetroot $19.50. The pot-roasted oyster blade beef $33 cooked in the oven for four hours is always on the menu
- Vulcan's - miettas.com.au flavours and cooking are terrific
- Vulcans - menufeast.com.au cutomer review: sadly the meal was just average. The duck sausage was overly processed and had no distinguishing flavor. The pot roast was well past the point of being done and had the consistency of baby food with a resulting lack of taste.
