Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a seven-letter word
Australia is known for its barbies (what we call barbecues) thanks to that Paul Hogan tourism ad with the famous line, "I'll slip another shrimp on the barbie for you!" What might be less well known is our Swap 'n' Go gas bottles. However, I don't think that will matter in this meta, the answer to which is a seven-letter word. Answer and explanation: https://www.xword-muggles.com/viewtopic.php?p=111062#p111062
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$10 gives you access to 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game. You won't quite know what to expect: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, sometimes all of those, and sometimes none! One thing is for sure, these are some of the more creative metas my brain has been able to come up with. And there's more: this time there's a mega-meta!
