PART VI
13.CULTURE
13.1 Recipes and food
13.1.1 Vegemite
Vegemite is a spread, made from a yeast extract. Kraft make it in
Australia. It looks kinda like black smooth peanut butter, and tastes
VERY salty.[Glenn]
When I returned to Australia for a visit in 1985 I telephoned the
folks at Kraft in Pt. Melbourne. Here is the basis of what the man
told me regarding its manufacture:
First the yeast cells are taken from the breweries. For those of you
into making home made beer you know what I mean. For the others, this
is a very thick tan colored "liquid" smelling like beer but loaded
with spent and still alive yeast cells. This "liquid" it then treated
so the yeast cells undergo "cell lysis" which means the cells burst
open. The liquid is then "washed" (his term) to remove the cell
walls. The internal contents of the cell are then mixed with salt,
dried parsley and spices etc.(whatever that is -- I have not been able
to find etc. in Australia nor North America) I guess it is the etc that
gives Vegemite its characteristic flavour!
Anyways in closing, the man said that it was packaged is small tins (I
have seen 1 oz. cans of it in Australian Army ration packs) and in
various containers up to barrel (45 gal?) size.
[DT] Vegemite and Marmite are not the same thing they were different
product brands. Marmite was actually in production and on the shelves
well and truly before vegemite ever existed. When Vegemite was first
released it had a very difficult time - very few people bought it. It
was apparently taken off the market for a short time and given a new
(temporary) name after a competition was held. The winner came up with
the name Parwill. Followed with the slogan "If marmite then parwill".
Fortunately this also had marketing problems. It wasn't really until
the "war to end all wars" that the renamed vegemite started to sell.
It was all the shortages of food stuffs and the "scientific" sell
using the vitamin B argument.
If you really want a good amount of information I suggest that you

Consumer Advisory Service
Salmon Street
Port Melbourne Victoria 3207
AUSTRALIA
(See section 6.3 on Australiana in the U.S. for where to get vegemite)
13.1.2 Sweets recipes
* ANZAC biscuits
1 cup SR Flour 4 tblsp butter,
" " sugar 2 " boiling H2O
" " oatmeal 1 " golden syrup
" " coconut 1 tsp bicarb soda
Put flour, sugar, oatmeal, coconut in bowl & mix. Put butter, water,
golden syrup, bicarb soda in saucepan & melt together on stove. Mix
with dry ingredients. Put in teaspoonfuls onto greased tray.
350F/180C for ~10 min. Enjoy!
* Lamingtons
4 oz butter 1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup castor sugar 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla pinch salt
2 eggs 1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
Cream butter & sugar, add vanilla, beat in eggs. Fold in dry
ingredients alternately with milk. Spoon into greased and lined pan
(approx. 8"x11") bake at 350F for 40-45 min. Cool and store for a day.
Cut into squares, dip in chocolate icing, then roll in coconut.
Chocolate icing: Sift 1 lb. icing sugar and 4 T. cocoa into bowl. Add
1 T. melted butter to a cup of warmed milk. Blend to make a smooth
coating consistency [John Doyle].
[AT] For those that are interested in where the name Lamington comes from:
From the Macquarie: Apparently named after Earl Lamington, Governor of
Queensland, 1895-1901.
* Pavlova
4 egg whites 1 tablespoon corn starch
1 cup superfine sugar half pint whipped cream
2 teaspoons vinegar kiwi fruit or strawberries or passionfruit.
Place egg whites in a clean glass bowl. Beat slowly until frothy, then
increase the speed and beat until stiff. GRADUALLY add the sugar,
beating well after each addition. (When all the sugar has been added,
the mixture should be shiny, very stiff, and should stand in peaks.)
Gently fold in the vinegar and corn starch with a metal spoon.
Line a cookie sheet with brown paper (from a bag) and grease it
lightly. Pile the meringue mixture on it; it should form a cylinder
about 8 inches in diameter and 2 inches high. Preheat the oven to
just under 300 degrees Farenheit. Bake the pav for between 90 and 105
minutes. When cooked, leave the oven door ajar and allow the pav to
cool inside. When cold, peel off the paper and transfer to a serving
platter. Just before serving, top with the whipped cream and fruit.
About 8 smallish servings. [Steve Wright wright@mcs.anl.gov]
* Chocolate Crackles
Here is the recipe as read from the Rice Bubbles packet (Apparently it
is also on the Copha wrapper):
4 cups Rice Bubbles (= Rice Crispies) 250 gram copha (8 oz)
1.5 cups sifted icing sugar 1 cup desiccated coconut
3 Tbs cocoa (60 ml not 45ml, ie 4 American Tbs) 24 patty pans
Mix the first 4 ingredients together. Pour in melted Copha and mix.
Put into patty pans and chill. Makes 24.
13.1.3 Meat Pies, Damper, Galah, pumpkin soup
* Damper
The basic recipe for damper is just self rising flour (4 C) and milk
(2 1/2 C) or water, mixed to a very stiff dough and then baked in one
of several ways: in a cast iron "dutch oven" buried in the ashes of a
fire, wrapped around the end of a stick (only a small handful or so)
and toasted over the fire, or formed into a round loaf and baked in a
conventional oven. You can spice it up by adding a handful of dried
fruits, by topping it with some mustard and grated cheese or, if
you've been bold enough to do it on a stick, by filling the hole where
the stick was with jam. [CP]
* Australian Meat Pie [JN]:
Reference: Australian Women's Weekly Home Library: Cooking Class
Cookbook, p70. (reproduced without permission).
Filling:
750 g (1.5 lb) minced steak 1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 beef stock cubes salt, pepper
1.5 cups water pinch nutmeg (generous -JN)
2 tablespoons plain flour 1/4 cup water, extra
Pie Base:
2 cups plain flour 2/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt 60 g (2 oz) beef dripping
Pie Top:
375 g (12 oz) packaged puff pastry 1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
Making the filling: Place meat into the pan, stir over low heat until
meat is well browned. Drain off any surplus fat. Add crumbled stock
cubes, water, salt, pepper and nutmeg, stir until boiling, reduce
heat, cover, simmer gently for 20 min, remove from heat. Combine
extra water and flour, stir until flour mixture is smooth. Add flour
mixture to meat, stir until combined. Return to heat, stir until meat
boils and thickens. Add soy sauce (to give brown colour), stir until
combined. Simmer, uncovered, 5 to 10 min; remove from heat allow to
become cold.
Making the pie base: Sift flour and salt into basin. Place water and
dripping into saucepan, stir until dripping melts; remove from heat.
Make a well in centre of dry ingredients, add liquid, stir until
combined. (2a. If you're in a hurry, just use premade (bought)
pastry. It works ok, too. -JN)
Turn out onto lightly floured surface, knead lightly. Roll out pastry
to line eight greased pie tins. [We use "real" aluminium 6 or 8 in
pie casings - JN] Cut excess pastry around sides of pie plates using a
sharp knife. Fill centres with cold meat filing.
Pie crust: Roll out puff pastry on lightly floured surface, cut out
rounds for top of pies, use a saucer as a guide. Wet edges of base
pastry, and gently press tops into place, trim around edges with a
sharp knife. Brush tops with combined egg-yolk and water.
Cooking: Bake in hot oven 5 minutes or until golden brown, reduce heat
to moderate, cook further 10 min.
Galah [PB]
Having plucked and cleaned galahs, place in a large saucepan of water
over an open fire. Add two or three large rocks from a creek nearby.
Boil for two to three days, adding water as required. By this time
the rocks should have softened, throw away the galahs and eat the
rocks.
Galah variations [KP]
Variation 1 (from my landlady the late Mrs. Rose Roots of Punch
Street, Gundagai, N.S.W., 2722) After the rocks are done, reduce heat
but continue simmering over low heat for another week. Make sure the
water level is kept up.
Variation 2 (from my team mates at the Junee RSL Shooting Club, Junee,
N.S.W.) After the rocks are done, remove and maintain a slow boil of
the Galahs while a side dish of lava is obtained. Serve both
immediately, preferably with the lava on top of the meat.
Pumpkin Soup [JL]
In a large pot I put cut up pumpkin, 2 chopped up onions, 3 chopped
slices of celery and enough water to cover. Then I simmer it until
the pumpkin is soft and then I mash it all or blend it. You then need
to add some curry powder which gives it a wonderful flavour. The
biggest problem in the US is that most of the pumpkins are much more
watery than the Queensland blue pumpkins in Australia so the soup is
not the same. However, this year I grew some JackbeLittle pumpkins
and they were just fine for soup.
[MM] I have found that "Butternut Squash" == "Butternut Pumpkin", make
a pretty good soup. However they are definitely not the same as a
Queensland Blue.
Steak, Mushroom and Onion Pie [PL]
Ingredients:
1 lb round steak
1 onion
1 lb mushrooms
flour
pastry
Worcestershire Sauce
Steak Sauce
Beef Gravy powder
beer
butter or margarine
water
Cut meat into small pieces, toss in flour
and brown in margarine or butter in saucepan.
Add 2 cups of water to saucepan.
Chop onion, add to mixture.
Add Worcestershire Sauce, Steak Sauce, gravy mix
and beer to mixture. (Go easy on these to start with.
You can always add more of these after the meat is
cooked, and then you can taste it.)
Simmer covered for 30 minutes. While simmering, dice the
mushrooms and prepare the pie shells. I usually just
buy ready made pie pastry sheets for the pie shells
and ready made puff pastry sheets for the lids.
Add the mushrooms and more seasonings if desired.
Simmer uncovered for 5-10 more minutes. This should
make enough for 2 shallow 9-inch pies. If the mixture
is too runny, add more gravy powder, or mix some flour
with a little water into a paste, and add that.
Ladle mixture into pie shell. Put puff pastry lid on top,
and press the lid and shell together. Poke a few small
holes in the lid and bake at 425 F for 20-25 minutes.
Serve with mashed potatoes and peas.
13.1.4 Misc
Australian/US substitutions
Oz US
Copha Hard vegetable shortening (made from
coconut).
It's purified coconut oil, sufficiently dehydrated that it
functions as a quite-edible shortening.[BD]
Corn Flour Corn starch
Caster sugar Regular sugar ( actually slightly finer
than regular US sugar, but not much)
Golden Syrup Dark Corn Syrup
Icing sugar Confectioner's sugar
Rice Bubbles Rice Krispies
In Australia, margarine in stick form has animal fat. For no animal
fat, to buy "soft" margarine or butter.
When recipe calls for minced steak/beef, N. Americans should use lean
ground beef, not extra lean [JN].
Other recipes to be included if I get them: kangaroo tail stew... [AN]
13.2 Songs
13.2.1 "Waltzing Matilda", by Banjo Paterson (3 versions :-)
* Waltzing Matilda - the song we had to have. Copyright A.B.
"Banjo" Paterson (reproduced here w/o permission). (thanks to
Ross Paterson for correcting the "tt" misspelling :-)
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
Chorus:
"Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me;
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
(Substitute third line of verse in each chorus.)
Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee;
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag,
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me."
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers -- one, two, three;
"Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?"
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive", said he;
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me.
There is also a "Queensland version" of the song, generally
believed to be the Patterson original (or pre-original). It has
very similar words but has a different metre and is set to a
waltz tune. The "standard" version of the song was subsequently
rewritten to fit a march time tune pinched from some other
source. In a wonderful essay published at the time of the
referendum which chose AAF as the anthem, some (forgotten by me)
author made the point that Waltzing Matilda was much more
appropriate. It tells the story of the swagman, unemployed and
desperate, driven to petty theft by society's oppression. The
squatter symbolises the privileged property owners (probably
multi-national) with the sinister intrusion of the Police to
support privilege. Finally, the hero dies in an heroic gesture,
which unfortunately leads only to the pollution of an inland
waterway. [CM]
------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is what appears to be the original "Waltzing Matilda", from
"The Collected verse of A. B. Patterson", first published in
1921. It seems to have been published in "Saltbush Bill, J.P."
(1917), although I have a feeling it may have been presented in
the Bulletin somewhat earlier. Punctuation as printed in the
1982 edition -- don't blame me for the unmatched quotation mark
in the second verse :-). [IR]
WALTZING MATILDA
(Carrying a Swag.)
Oh! there once was a swagman camped in a Billabong,
Under the shade of a Coolibah tree;
And he sang as he looked at his old billy boiling,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, my darling,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
Waltzing Matilda and leading a water-bag--
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the water-hole,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him in glee;
And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker-bag,
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
Down came the Squatter a-riding his thoroughbred;
Down came Policemen -- one, two and three.
"Whose is the jumbuck you've got in the tucker-bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me."
But the swagman, he up and he jumped in the water-hole,
Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree;
And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabong
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
Both versions are in the Australian Scout Song Book, available by mail
order from the Sydney Scout Shop price $2.65, phone +61 2 7999640.
--------------------------------------------------------
SWAGMAN: An itinerant labourer, a hobo, a bum. So called because
his most important possession is his bedroll ("swag"), worn
behind his head as he walks along.[TM]
An excellent book, probably no longer in print, is "Diary of a
Welsh swagman" published in Australia some years ago. It is based
on the journeyings of a Welsh immigrant who was waltzing Matilda
in the late 19th century [AC]
(Jenkins, Joseph, 1818-1898. Diary of a Welsh swagman, 1869-1894
/ abridged and annotated by William Evans. -- South Melbourne,
Vic. : Macmillan, 1975.)
WALTZING MATILDA "Waltzing Matilda", "humping a bluey, "carrying
a swag" are all terms for the same thing, namely tramping about
looking (or not looking) for itinerant work like shearing. The
"Matilda" was the swag. [PA]
Matilda=swag=bluey = (american) bedroll (blankets, etc.)
The reason I know of is that one name for a swag was "Matilda" -
a feminine name for the swagman's sole companion. Walking from
place to place was called "Taking Matilda for a waltz". [jds]
BILLABONG: A billabong is what the geographers call a "truncated
meander", i.e. a lake formed by a loop in a river course being
cut off by the river subsequently cutting a new and shorter path.
In the US they are called "ox-bow lakes".[JB]
COOLIBAH: Type of eucalypt (gum) tree with hard strong wood, very
hardy, found in central Australia near inland water courses and
billabongs.
BILLY: A small tin, generally used to boil water for tea. The
third- most important possession of a swagman.
JUMBUCK: A (male?) sheep.
TUCKERBAG: A bag for carrying tucker (food). The second-most
important possession of a swagman.
SQUATTER: Someone who just grabbed land early on, often later
given title to the land by the government.Basically the landed
gentry.
TROOPER: A soldier or policeman.
* Short Version
The "verse" below is from a competition to shrink works of OZ
literature conducted by the Australian (?) newspaper some time
ago. I found it in some papers I was looking through. I don't
have the attribution to hand. There was a shrunken "Sydney White
Pages" too.[CM]
[GG] This verse is attributed to Pauline Howie in the (little) book
Oz Shrinked Literature, edited by Michele Field, Penguin Books, 1983.
Page 10.
Waltzing Matilda
================
Swaggie dreams of roast lamb dinner
Passing jumbuck looks a winner
Bags it, but here come the cops
Into billabong he flops
Drowns himself, forgoes hot roast
Leaves the last waltz to his ghost
"Sod the law" says our aquarian,
"Better dead than vegetarian!"
Nigel McFarlane adds:
Firstly let me point out there was an excellent article
on the ABC on "Landline" tracing the history of the song,
and also identifying the "original version" - close to the
QLD version, but not the same.
Also, where it has "Matilda" defined as a swag or bedroll,
it really referred to a campside whore, who might hang
around the mines or goldfields. Thus "Waltzing Matilda"
meant something entirely different to carrying a bedroll.
That 2nd meaning came later as an affectionate parallel with
the earlier meaning - the bedroll being the only company
to be had while travelling.
