    Looks sort of like what Roseanne Barr used to call a loose meat sandwich. Except that hers had bread on the top and the bottom.

     

    But no, I've never had mince on toast. Never had baked beans on toast or scrambled eggs on toast either.

     

    Pretty much the only thing that goes on toast is butter or jelly, or both. Is jelly in Oz jello, like it is in England. Cuz what we call jelly the Brits called jam. I don't know what y'all would call it.

     

    A poached egg goes real good on toast. Never have done scrambled or fried, though.

     

    Fried eggs, scrambled eggs, poached eggs on toast.....YUM!!! Preferably thick cut sourdough with butter. 

    I'm not big on baked beans :( but I do like mexican hot beans on toast!

    Now if the mince meat was between two slices of bread that would turn it into the iconic Australian sealed toasted sandwich called a Jaffle. Which can either be square or round (with the protruding crusts cut off that are sticking out of the jaffle maker).

    Most likely that price was for a whole chicken.

     

    Yes that would have been a whole BBQ chicken.
    In the '60's chicken was expensive compared to beef and lamb which was plentiful and oversupplied, most chicken meals came from the backyard chook run. Took a while for Oz to get into intensive chicken farming.

    Mince - that's British for chopped meat, right? So that mince, for 35¢, would be hamburger, right? Not a hamburger sandwich, but just a hamburger patty on a plate with a fork?

     

    Wait, I just noticed the ditto marks. So that would be mince on toast. Now I have no clue what it is. 

     

    Aaaand, wiki to the rescue once again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mince_on_toast

     

    And what the heck would a "cold collation" be?

     

    Found this in wiki. >In British English today, a collation is likewise a light meal, offered to guests when there is insufficient time for fuller entertainment. It is often rendered cold collation in reference to the usual lack of hot or cooked food. <

     

    Barbecue chicken cost twice as much as porterhouse steak? Wow.

     

    You've never had mince meat on toast?????????????????????????????????

  4. When the kids were young, we used to hook up battery pack electric fence energisers to anything metal that we could hide the energiser leads to, they'd get me and I'd get them......in the end we were all too scared to touch anything metal without a checker.....it's been years now......hmmm I could get 'em good!!!!!

  5. ‘PAMIR’ - Commercial Sailing Ship

    Master Mariners of Australia.

    Pamir was one of the last commercial sailing ships to transport cargo around Cape Horn.

    The Pamir, a famous German four-masted steel barque (1905–1957), was a renowned "Flying P-Liner" in the Australian grain trade.

    She had an overall length of 114.5 m (375 ft), a beam of about 14 m (46 ft) and a draught of 7.25 m (23.5 ft). Three masts stood 51.2 m (168 ft) above deck and the main yard was 28 m (92 ft) wide.

    She carried 3,800 m² (40,900 ft²) of sails and could reach a top speed of 16 knots (30 km/h). However, her regular cruise speed was around 8-9 knots.

    While mainly operating out of South Australia, the vessel is associated with Australian maritime history, including visits to Sydney and, via historical records/photo collections, Newcastle during the first half of the 20th century.

    Pamir, built in 1905, was famous for transporting goods such as wool and grain between Europe and South America. It was part of the German fleet known as the Flying P-Liners.

    On 21 September 1957, she was caught in Hurricane Carrie and sank off the Azores.

    A nine-day search for survivors was organized by the United States Coast Guard Cutter Absecon, but only four crewmen and two cadets were rescued alive, from two of the lifeboats.

    It was reported that many of the 86 men aboard had managed to reach the boats, but most died in the next three days.

    The sinking made headlines around the world; it was a national tragedy for Germany.

    So, you admit to corrupting the youth of your nation!

     

    Keep up the good work.

    The other day our only grandson who’s 1 1/2 came over to visit. He is glued to my side whenever we are together. I had to do our daily cleaning of the puppy pens while the momma dogs were outside. He came downstairs with me and was helping me with the puppies. So cute and meaningful to watch them grow and show an interest into what special people to them do. He would pet a puppy and look at me as if he was asking if he was doing it right. 
     

    Brought tears to my eyes knowing that we almost lost him and that she is potentially the future of our business and he could be doing this all by himself looking back to this day. 

     

    So glad he's doing well, that was a scary time Sheriff. 

  8. First Steam up with my youngest Grandson Bodhi who is 3.5 years old. The engine is a MF Twin and its serial number is 34, this was a limited edition run of 100 engines and it's running an old Fleischmann Blacksmith. It's really fun to get the younger generation involved with steam, my older Grandson Jimmy is hooked on steam engines, and I think he will always have a passion for them.

    Looking forward to more steam days with Bodhi ❤️

  9. Of COURSE Australia has to have the LOUDEST cicadas in the world. These things cause people to go nuts literally. On a bad year when they are in their millions upon millions.... there's just no escape from the ear piercing noise.
