  • The 'Eeeuw' Factor
    NEWLING—THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR: The Viscerally Sensorial Realities of Being the Colonial Gastronomer Jacqui Newling Sydney Living Museums Author’s statement: This paper includes images that people may find confronting or disturbing. No offence is intended in showing these images. This article was prepared on Gadigal and Wangal lands. The places in Sydney Living Museums’ care are on Aboriginal lands. Sydney Living Museums acknowledges the First Nations Peoples, the traditional custodians, and pays respects to the Elders, past and present, and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Abstract As the Colonial Gastronomer at Sydney Living Museums I research, interpret, write, blog, lecture, broadcast and present interactive programs to engage and educate audiences about Australian colonial food and heritage. But how do you learn about the sensory qualities of foods that were popular two hundred years ago, especially those that have been discarded from the mainstream (particularly Anglo-Celtic) Australian culinary repertoire? How they looked and tasted, their textures and aromas? My answer: make them. This has meant preparing and cooking foods that many Australian people find offensive, distasteful, disgusting and ‘gross’: calves’ feet jelly, boiled calves’ heads, brawned pig’s face, peeled tongues, and collared eels so fresh they twitch and jump on the Locale: The Australasian-Pacific Journal of Regional Food Studies Number 7, 2018 —45— NEWLING—THE ‘EEEUW’ FACTOR benchtop when filleted. This auto-ethnographic analysis draws on my experiences of working with articles of culinary disgust, particularly animal heads and tongues, to reflect upon the pedagogical processes involved in my role as the Colonial Gastronomer.

  • Paolo Giorza and Music at Sydney's 1879 International Exhibition
    ‘Pleasure of a High Order:’ Paolo Giorza and Music at Sydney’s 1879 International Exhibition Roslyn Maguire As Sydney’s mighty Exhibition building took shape, looking to the harbour from an elevated site above the Botanic Gardens, anxiety and excitement mounted. This was to be the first International Exhibition held outside Europe or America and musical entertainment was to be its greatest attraction.1 An average of three thousand people would attend each week day and as recent studies have shown, Sydney’s International Exhibition helped initiate reforms to education, town planning, technologies, photography, manufacturing and patronage of the arts, music and literature.2 Although under construction since January 1879, it was mid May before the Exhibition’s influential Executive Commissioner Patrick Jennings3 announced the appointment of his friend, Milanese composer Paolo Giorza4 as musical director: [H]is credentials are of such a nature both as a conductor, composer and artist, that I could not justly pass them over. I think that he should also be authorised to compose a march and cantata for the opening ceremony … Signor Giorza offers to give his exclusive services as composer and director and performer on the organ and to organise a competent orchestra of local artists for promenade concerts, and to conduct the same.5 The extent of Jennings’s personal interest in Exhibition music is evident in this report publicising Giorza’s appointment. It amounts to one of the colony’s most interesting cultural documents for the ideas, attitudes and objectives it reveals, including consideration of whether an ‘Australian School of Music, as distinguished from any of the well-defined schools’ existed.
