PHOTOS FROM THE PAST

-----------ooOoo-----------

I know that the heading is tautologous, because every photograph is a photo of the past, even if only from one minute ago, but you know what I mean.
__________

By the way:

The word photograph was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek phos, meaning "light," and graphĂȘ, meaning "drawing, writing," together meaning "drawing with light."

Sir John Herschell, 1835

SAUSAGE ROLLS AND MORE

-----------ooOoo-----------

In yesterday’s post on AC/DC’s It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll) I mentioned that some sing the chorus as "It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll" or "Chiko Roll".

Ron (USA), Dave (Scotland), Tim (USA), David (England) and all those who are overseas Byters, you may this post informative in respect of Oz delicacies, as well as international ones.

Following is an article I came across that touches on sausage rolls and more. I found it of interest, hopefully you will as well.

(The site that posted the article is a petrolhead site called Street Machine).

BLOWIN’ GASKETS: IT’S A LONG WAY TO THE SHOP IF YOU WANT A SAUSAGE ROLL

An ode to the mechanic’s best friend, the bakery.

MOST of us who minister to cars, trucks, bikes and buses for a living tend to rely heavily on the presence of a good bakery nearby. Mechanics rarely have time for a luxurious sit-down lunch. Baked goods, however, are easily consumed on the go, and are a rare but welcome comfort in a profession where a cup of International Roast might be considered a luxury. They also serve – along with a Big M Iced Coffee – to provide breakfast when late to work, and are essential on any long road trip. Here, then, is my ode to the bakery, and a few tips for how best to approach them.
__________

THE LAMINGTON

The most important rule of the lamo is to grab a spare. Buying a single is fraught with danger and just plain silly. Just trust me here and grab lamingtons in pairs.

__________

THE PASTIE

The pastie is the health food of the bakery. Ordering one makes me feel like Trevor Hendy. It’s the peas. Peas are a superfood and the five or so inside each pastie proves that healthy choices in the bakery do not have to affect taste. Eating two pasties is the best way to double your daily vegetable intake.

__________

THE SAUSAGE ROLL

The perfect breakfast food. The trick to eating a sausage roll is in the way you treat the ends. Some people approach it with the Miss Hilton method and demolish a good length of it straight up. But it is far tastier hitting it broadside and enjoying each crunchy end in two bites. This way you get four crunchy bites per roll.


And let us not forget the delicacy that is the sausage roll in a roll. I’m a fan; as a ‘bakery athlete’ it makes sense to carb-load. But the native home of the sausage roll is the tuckshop or truck stop. Taking on the SRR in a bakery setting may take up valuable stomach space that could be better utilised for lamingtons. I’m telling ya, you walk a tightrope trying to work out ‘best practice’ for stomach filling.
__________

THE SQUARE PIE

Every now and then I come across the baker producing the square meat pie. I give them a wide berth, as they are a throwback to Freemasonry. To get a square pie takes a special handshake or a signal to the baker to prove you are in the Lodge. Normal citizens that ask for one will be told they are still cold and not for sale yet. The square pie is the pastry equivalent of Scientology. Stick with round pies and reality.


__________

ON THE SAUCE


I can take or leave tomato sauce with my pie; however, if the person serving me asks: “Dead horse, mate?” I immediately say yes – I’m a sucker for rhyming slang. There are a few techniques to consider when it comes to applying tommy sauce to a pie. Allow me to take you through them.

1. Missionary Style. This is where you penetrate the lid of the pie and inject the sauce within.

2. The Truckie Dump. This is where you get a single-serve squeeze pack, hold it over the pie and squeeze it in one hard, explosive movement. Great for when you’re driving.

3. The Zombie. Remove the pie lid, stir the sauce through the internal flesh, then refit lid to the undead pie.

4. The Professor. The polar opposite of The Truckie Dump. The Professor thinks he can distribute the sauce onto the pastry evenly enough to get the perfect sauce/pastry/meat ratio per mouthful.

5. The Redmond. This is done by squeezing tomato sauce onto your shirt within five seconds of obtaining it. A canteen medallion.
__________

THE APPLE PIE

The circular shape of an apple pie is the single greatest piece of engineering in the history of mankind. It helps ensure the stewed, sweetened apple and buttery pastry are consumed in the correct ratio.


However, there are some simple steps to follow for maximum enjoyment. Some keen and green eaters of pie charge straight into the goodness recklessly. It is only when they are left holding a collapsed shell that the true toll of their gusto is revealed. The ‘hog bite’ method may yield some great results in the early stages of the pie, but only serves to undermine the pastry and will lead to an eventual collapse. Much better to work with the circular shape and adopt the bite-and-rotate method, remembering to also add about 35 degrees of forward tilt. The tilt method will strip the roof of the pie at a slightly increased rate compared to the floor, leaving the structure sound and controlled right to the last perfect bite.
__________

THE BAKER

I like to think of the baker as more of an alchemist than a chef, turning meat and flour into rows of golden, flaky, hot and delicious parcels of happiness. Every now and then I stumble across a baker (wizard) producing the Holy Trinity of Alchemy: the curry potato pie. This is the pinnacle of the baker’s art. I may even forgo the apple pie to leave room for the CPP. Well, actually I normally eat both, with a smile like a hippy at harvest time, tears of joy washing down my face and spilling onto the floor in big fat heavy happy drops.

__________

I support our community bakers by making sure I drop a minimum of $15 each visit – it’s the least I can do. Indeed, bakers have been known to organise their daughter’s wedding upon hearing the approach of my motorcycle and pray to the Gods of Gold that I became a local.

I have been doing some work with current and former members of parliament to try and get bakers the recognition they deserve. So far I’ve got Kim Beazley and Clive Palmer on board with my idea of a national week of public holidays to celebrate the baker. A week of sharing around fresh, warm loaves of white bread, and bringing the family together for pies and sausage rolls with sauce. Who’s with me?

-----------ooOoo-----------

My comments:

What the author has said is fair enough but doesn't go far enough. He has missed out on some bakery items that were favourites of mine BPT, meaning Before Peg Tube. . .
__________

BACON AND EGG SANDWICH:

Some bakeries serve them, a treat that can’t be rivalled. Such bakeries are rare but pure gold to find, to paraphrase the opening to the Japanese Iron Chef series: and if ever you should find such a bakery, it shall gain the people’s ovation and fame forever. Okay, maybe that’s a bit much, but BPT I used to love a bacon and egg sandwich. On one occasion some years ago, son Thomas and I stopped at a place after court to have a snack, mine being the above sandwich. I put it to my lips using the two hand method, took a bite and a copious amount of egg yolk went down the front of my white shirt. At trivia later, one of our member maintained that a bacon and egg sandwich was acceptable with soft fried egg yolks. So wrong, it should be flipped over fried egg and crispy bacon.

__________

VANILLA SLICE

There are 101 varieties of vanilla slice these days but imho the only true vanilla slice is the one without embellishment and has yellow icing, although passionfruit is an acceptable additive to the icing:


It's the king of sweet bakery items (sorry about the non-PC gender designation).
__________

NEENISH TART

The neenish tart should not be overlooked as a delectable sweet bakery item. In this case it is acceptable to add a later of raspberry jam on top of the cream under the icing.


The origin of the name is unknown, the tart was originally created in Australia and is mainly found there, as well as in New Zealand.
__________

JAM DOUGHNUT

Another great delicacy:


Not of Australian origin, the Americans call them jelly doughnuts and there are varieties in other countries: the Polish pączki, the German Berliner, the Israeli sufganiyot, the Southern European krafne and the Italian bombolone. The first record of a jelly doughnut appeared in the Polish translation of a German cookbook published in 1532

A warm fried donut with a crunchy sugary crust that can be served hot or cold, filled with strawberry jam – how good is that?

Breakfast of champions.
__________

SCONES

So simple yet so delish:


Scones are probably the simplest of all baked goods, conjuring up fond memories for every Aussie - gatherings with family and friends, school bake sales, fundraising morning teas at work, quaint little cafes or your grandmother’s kitchen.

A perennial debate: is it jam with cream on top (as I maintain) or cream with jam on top?

One final note: scones with jam and cream should be had with tea, not coffee, the ttraditional Devonshire Tea.  There is evidence to suggest that the tradition of eating bread with cream and jam existed at Tavistock Abbey in Devon in the 11th century.
__________

CANNOLI

How I used to love this Italian treat:


Some food historians place the origins of cannoli in 827–1091 in Caltanissetta in Sicily, by the concubines of princes looking to capture their attention.

Is it any wonder that Clemenza said in The Godfather when they execute the man who betrayed Don Corleone:  :Leave the gun. Take the cannoli", which he had bought on his wife's instruction.

Cannoli should not be walked away from.

QUOTE FOR THE DAY

 


SONG SPOT

-----------ooOoo-----------

IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP


"It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the first track of the group's second album T.N.T., released only in Australia and New Zealand on 8 December 1975, and was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young and Bon Scott.

The song is also the first track on the internationally released High Voltage (April 1976).The song combines bagpipes with hard rock instrumentation; in the middle section of the song there is a call and response between the bagpipes and guitar.

Lyrics:

Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stoppin' on the byways
Playin' rock 'n' roll

Gettin' robbed, gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up, broken boned
Getting had, getting took
I tell you folks, it's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doing one night stands
Try playing in a rock-roll band
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll

Hotel, motel
Make you want to cry
Ladies do the hard sell
Know the reason why

Gettin' old, gettin' gray
Gettin' ripped off, underpaid
Gettin' sold, second-hand
That's how it goes, playin' in a band

It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out, it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top, if you want to rock 'n' roll

Well, it's a long way

Oh, it's a long way

(You should have told me)

It's a long way

Such a long way

About:

This is an autobiographical song for AC/DC describing their struggles as they try to make it big by delivering a top notch live show night after night. It was genuine: At the time, they were just getting started and playing some seedy venues with even seedier business associates. The hard work eventually paid off, and several years later the band was selling out arenas.

"It's A Long Way To The Top" really summed us up as a band," Angus Young told Rolling Stone. It was the audience that really allowed us to even get near a studio.

According to Bon Scott's biographer Clinton Walker, this tongue-in-cheek song "has become an anthem." It was the band's best single to date reaching #5 in the Australian charts. Heavy metal tracks are usually dominated by ego-tripping guitar solos; this song is unusual because instead of a lengthy guitar solo it features interplay between Angus Young on lead and Bon Scott on the bagpipes. Ronald Belford (Bonnie Scotland) Scott was born in Scotland - as were the Young brothers. The somewhat older Scott arrived in Australia with his family some 11 years before the Youngs emigrated; he learned recorder and drums, and was a proficient bagpipe player.

The song runs to 5 minutes 15 seconds, which is quite long for a single.

The title and chorus line is said to have originated with a Melbourne club manager who would warn the young bands he booked that it would be "a long bloody way to the top" if they wanted to make it in the business.

The band made a video to promote the single and the album. This was filmed on February 23, 1976 when they rode through the centre of Melbourne on an open topped truck accompanied by three members of the Rats of Tobruk Pipe Band. The most noticeable feature of the video is that the vocalist was really enjoying himself, but, Walker adds, "it's as if Bon acknowledges he's living on borrowed time, and luckily at that." It would not be such a long way to the top for AC/DC, but four years later almost to the day, it would all be over for Bon. On February 19, 1980 he was found dead on the back seat of a car in London, having literally drunk himself to death.

In 2004, one of the streets in Melbourne near where this video was filmed was renamed "ACDC Lane" in honor of the band. The street was formerly known as Corporation Lane.

This was a signature song for Bon Scott. Brian Johnson, who replaced Scott as AC/DC's lead vocalist after Scott's death in 1980, does not perform it, out of respect for his predecessor.

Jack Black and the School of Rock band play a version of this at the end of the movie School of Rock. The interplay is between the singer and all the members of the band.

Some Aussies sing the chorus as "It's a long way to the top if you want a sausage roll" or even "Chiko Roll," which is even more Aussie.



Australian singer John Farnham is a huge fan of this song, which gave him the idea to add bagpipes to "You're The Voice," his 1986 single that became one of the most popular songs ever released in Australia.
__________

By the way:

#1:

While jamming on new songs in the studio, co-producer George Young (the older brother of Angus and Malcolm) recalled that Bon Scott had once been in a pipe band and encouraged the band to experiment with incorporating bagpipes into the song. Scott left the studio that day and returned with a set of bagpipes purchased at a Park Street music store at what was an extortionately high price (AU$479) at the time. Bassist Mark Evans would later muse that the amount “would have bought two Strats”.

Simply putting the pipe-set together proved tricky, and it became apparent Scott had never played the instrument before, having in fact been a drummer in the aforementioned pipe band. Nonetheless, Scott taught himself to play well enough to record and perform the song (initially with the help of tape loops).

However, playing the song live was made difficult by the fact that the whole band would have to tune to the drone pipe. Thus the song, though iconic of the band's early repertoire, was probably played live no more than 30 times. The last occasion was in 1976, following an incident where Scott set down the pipe-set at the corner of a stage during a concert at St Albans High School in St Albans, Victoria, Australia and they were destroyed by fans. Subsequent (relatively rare) live performances employed a recording of the song's bagpipe track or an extended guitar solo by Angus Young.

#2:

From:
Angus Young thought his big brother, and his sister Margaret, were taking the piss when they first suggested, in the spring of 1974, that he might want to dress up as a schoolboy onstage. But having previously been cajoled into performing with AC/DC wearing - variously - a gorilla suit, a Superman costume and a Zorro-style mask and cape, he’d heard, and complied with, worse ideas.

Malcolm Young had decided that his band needed an image overhaul for a high profile gig in Sydney’s Victoria Park. AC/DC’s founding guitarist told his bandmates that he would be taking the stage in a satin airman’s jumpsuit, while Angus would rock a school uniform: bemused vocalist Dave Evans, bassist Neil Smith and drummer Noel Taylor were instructed to find their own distinctive looks. Australia’s hard rock answer to The Village People duly arrived onstage in April ‘74 with a Harlequin-style Joker on drums, a New York City cop on bass and a peacocking glam rocker front and centre. The gig, by all accounts, was a riot, but Malcolm, already a notoriously hard man to please, was not entirely satisfied: his next ‘image overhaul’ for AC/DC involved telling Evans, Smith and Taylor to fuck off sharpish. The little schoolboy fella could stay though…

More than three decades on, Angus can probably still fit into that Year 11 Ashfield Boys’ High blazer he borrowed from Margaret Young’s son Sam for that Victoria Park gig. His trademark look, though, has evolved slightly… as the following visual history confirms.

A man had recently become assistant to the pastor at a church in a large city. On his first day of work he reported to the pastor's office. "Today, I would like you to go to the poor areas in our city and pray with the less fortunate there," the pastor tells him.

So, the man sets out to the south part of their city and prays with many people that day. One of the people he speaks with the most is a woman of the night. "I've done a lot of bad things in my life. I don't think the Lord would ever want to talk to me" says the woman. "Nonsense, the Lord loves all people. What is your name, dear?" "Fanny Greene" she replies. "Please, miss Greene, come to our church this Sunday and you will see there is a spot for you in the Lord's house."

The woman agrees, and the man goes back to the pastor the next day to report his day. "There was one woman, Fanny Greene, who I invited to join us for this Sunday's sermon...I must warn you though, sir, she is a woman of the night and has done unthinkable acts." "No matter, all are welcome in our church" the pastor replies.

That Sunday the assistant pastor joins the pastor on stage while people pour in the doors to fill the pews. Just as things are quieting down a woman comes through the door wearing a mini skirt that is quite revealing. The woman walks down the aisle and plops down right in the front pew with her legs spread apart. The pastor leans over to the assistant pastor and asks "Is that Fanny Greene?" The assistant pastor glances over and says "No, sir, I think that's just the way the stained glass is shining on it."

A Glasgow laddie went to get his first kilt made, from a kiltmakers in the high street.

As he was getting measured, he asked the kiltmaker, "Could ye dae me a favour and mek' me a wee pair ae boxers along wi' the kilt? It gets awfy drafty doon ther when yir swinging it a' aboot".

"Aye, nae bother at a'!" says the kiltmaker and gets to work. When the lad comes back to collect his kilt, the kiltmaker says, "Right, here's yer kilt, and here's yer wee tartan underpants, and here's an full 5 yards extra I had spare in case ye need repairs or somethin'."

The lad tried on his kilt and it fit perfectly - so snug he totally forgot to put on the tartan underwear. He tucked the extra 5 yards into his kilt sock for safe keeping, and ran over his lass's house and when she answered the door, he shouted "Look at mah new kilt!" and swished it around.

"Aye, it's a beauty" his girlfriend said admiringly.

"Ye 'hink that's good hen, check oot whit's unnerneath it!" he shouted, still forgetting he didn't have the tartan underwear on, and lifted up his kilt.

"Mah god, that's quite somethin'!" she replied, staring at it.

"Ye 'hink that's all hen - ah've goat anither 5 yerds o' it tucked intae mah sock!"

At a revival meeting the preacher is promoting faith healing. “If you believe, you will be healed. All it takes is faith. Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ will cure you and His love will make you whole. Is there anyone here who wants to be healed?”

A little old lady in the front row raises her hand and he calls her on stage. She makes her way slowly on her crutches. He asks her name and she says “Mrs Smith.” He asks whether she has faith and she replies “Yes”. The preacher says “Then go behind the curtain, Mrs Smith, and you will be healed.”

He asks again if anyone else wants healing. Bily Bloggs raises his hand and says “Neth.” He too is called onstage and asked his name. It is obvious that he has a speech defect resulting from a cleft palate when he says “Nilly Noggs.” Again the preacher asks “Do you have faith?” and receives an answer from Billy Bloggs, “Neth.” “Then go behind the curtain and you too will be healed.”

“Mrs Smith, throw out your left crutch.”

A crutch is thrown over the curtain.

“Mrs Smith, throw out your right crutch.”

As the congregation chants and praises the Lord, with many Hallelujahs, the other crutch came over the curtain.

“Now, Billy Bloggs, have faith, speak to me.”

From behind the curtain comes Billy Bloggs' voice, “Mithith Nith juth fallen on ner narth.”

When Jane first met Tarzan in the jungle she was very attracted to him. During her questions about his life she asked him what he did about sex.

"What that?" he asked.

She explained to him what sex was and he said, "Tarzan use hole in tree!"

Horrified, she said, "Tarzan you have it all wrong! I'll show you how to do it properly."

She took off her clothes, dropped to the ground and pointed to her privates.

"Here," she said, "You must put it in here."

Tarzan removed his loincloth, stepped closer, and then gave her an almighty kick in the crotch. Jane rolled around in agony.

Eventually she managed to gasp, "What the hell did you do that for?"

"Tarzan check for bees first!"

LIMERICKS OF THE WEEK:

At Harvard a randy old Dean
Said: 'The funniest jokes are obscene.
To bowdlerize wit.
Takes the shit out of it –
Who wants a limerick clean?'

The limerick’s callous and crude,
Its morals distressingly lewd;
It’s not worth the reading
By persons of breeding -
It’s designed for us vulgar and rude.

It needn’t have ribaldry’s taint
Or strive to make everyone faint.
There’s a type that’s demure
And perfectly pure,
Though it helps quite a lot if it ain’t.

But, to disprove the above . . .

A man hired by John Smith and Co.
Loudly declared that he'd tho.
Men that he saw
Dumping dirt near his door
The drivers, therefore, didn't do.

Even one by a Prime Minister. Clement Attlee (about himself):

Few thought he was even a starter.
There were many in life who were smarter.
But he finished PM,
A CH, an OM,
An earl and a Knight of the Garter.
