the first biscuits in australia were as hard as nails and , by all accounts , tasted dreadful . they were ‘sea biscuits’ , or as the old time sailors called them ‘hard tack’ or ‘ship’s biscuits’ because they were such a standby for early sailors . the word ‘tack’ was already in use to describe any ship’s food . the ‘sea biscuit’ had been introduced into the british navy in the 17th century and was traditionally made with flour , water and salt . they had an extremely long shelf life and were the saviour of many the sailor blown off course without sufficient rations . the biscuits , along with salted beef , were the staple diet and prepared in several ways to make them digestible .

biscuit manufacture was not always so sublime . ' ' the colony ' s first biscuits were ' hard tack ' , comprised of flour , water and salt , ' ' fahey says . ' ' they were hard as rocks and tasted awful . ' ' it took pioneering ingenuity to render them digestible . the biscuit was pulverised into powder , which was mixed with water and whatever else was handy to provide taste . fahey says : ' ' a popular method was to mix the powder with pig ' s blood , egg powder , more flour and salt , and then fashion them into large pancakes which were fried in pig ' s fat . these were called ' blood pancakes ' . if there was nothing to mix with the powder , water was simply added and it became a gruel known as ' cracker hash ' . biscuits were stored in a barrel , and were prone to weevil infestation … which could only have improved the taste .

the sao , first sold in 1906 , is a dry cracker , better enjoyed with butter , vegemite or tomato , than unadorned . perhaps more interesting than the biscuit itself is the genesis of its name . theories abound : that ' ' sao ' ' is an acronym for salvation army officer , because founder william arnott ' s son arthur was a salvo ; that it was the name of a sailing boat moored at sydney ' s royal yacht squadron ; that it was in honour of a woman named catherine sao , whose claim to fame seems to have been lost to time . another theory goes that samuel arnott was doodling his initials on a pad … and added an ' ' o ' ' .

writer peter luck calls the humble milk arrowroot - 125 years old this year - ' ' a biscuit you could trust … a good , solid biscuit you could fight a war on , win a footy grand final on , get married on and raise another whole generation of babies on ' ' . in an early ad for the oval - shaped , eminently dunkable , starch - rich bikkie made from flour and the arrowroot vegetable , the manufacturer spruiked that they had the power to help babies grow : ' ' how doth the busy little boy get bigger every hour ? arnott ' s milk arrowroot biscuits gave him health and power ! ' '
' ' since the late 1800s , ' ' fahey says , ' ' biscuits have been a symbol of community spirit ' ' , as loved ones , friends and workmates down tools to have a bite and a sip and natter about family intrigue , politics , sport and the price of fish : ' ' it ' s pleasant and it ' s calming . ' ' kevin rudd acknowledged the ritual on election victory night , 2007 , when advising his wired and celebrating staff to settle down with a cup of tea and an iced vovo before the hard work of governing the nation began next day .

tim tams were first launched in 1963 . they were named after a horse that ran in the kentucky derby in 1958 . a member of the arnott family , ross arnott , attended the race day and decided ‘tim tam’ was the perfect name for the new biscuit he was about to launch . enthusiasts for the biscuit say that a taste sensation can be obtained by biting off one end and sucking tea or coffee through the biscuit .

when i was young in the 1950s you had a sweet plain square biscuit named either ‘lemon cream’ or ‘cream lemon’ biscuits . they were beautiful . then in later times there was a round biscuit called ‘tea cake’ with lattice pattern on the top and fluted around the edge . why have they discontinued these ? also i think a nice plain sweet biscuit would be the ‘monte carlo’ without the cream .

considering the vast quantity of tea and coffee consumed in the 19th and 20th centuries it is probably not surprising that our biscuit consumption ( where available ) was extremely high . ( i refer readers to the articles section of the site where a history of tea and coffee drinking is available . ) . older australians will find it easy to imagine the ‘tea ladies’ who pushed their trolleys down factory and office aisles and the ‘honour’ system whereby those who took biscuits would put some money into the kitty . the usual rate was twenty pence a day .
from all reports hugh jackman is a congenial guy , but today he was miffed . he and nicole kidman were on oprah in 2008 spruiking their new movie australia , and to mark the occasion the actor gifted the host and each member of the studio audience with an australian national treasure , the tim tam . all was going munchingly well … then disaster . oprah thanked hugh for the cookies . cookies !

+ this is a great australian family biscuit . it is made in australia . i like the lemon flavoured biscuit the best because it is very different to the others , not so sugary in my opinion . the monte carlo ' s are great and are always a hit . it is nice to dip into a coffee or hot chocolate .
william arnott ' s success was founded on hard work , integrity and insistence on quality . he was a sincere christian , noted for his lovable and kindly nature . he and his wife were active in philanthropic work and the wesleyan church . in 1857 he was elected a trustee of the church in maitland ; in newcastle he was connected with the sunday school for twenty - four years , in twenty of which he was superintendent . an example of his honesty in business dealings was in 1883 when he repaid in full his 1862 maitland creditors ; they presented him with an address and a gold medal and held a luncheon in his honour . one of his recreations was rifle shooting . he joined the volunteer rifle corps in 1860 and won the first three contests for the silver belt presented by the mayor of maitland .
the first task was to smash the biscuit with a hammer to render it into powder form ( yes , they were that hard ! ) . the powder ( sometimes called ’dust’ and this possibly explains why some bushmen called flour by the same name ) was then mixed with water and whatever was available to provide taste . a popular method was to mix the powder with pig’s blood , egg powder more flour and salt , and then fashion them into large pancakes which were fried in pig’s fat . these were called ‘blood pancakes’ . another recipe saw the powder soaked in water with raisins to make ‘dandy funk’ . if there was nothing to mix with the powder it was simply mixed with water and eaten like a gruel known as ‘cracker hash’ .

' ' it ' s comforting to consume a product made from basic , timeless , unadulterated ingredients - eggs , milk , flour and sugar - that have been baked in an oven . baking in itself is an ancient and generous act involving patience , skill and sharing the results .

in 1888 the family moved to mayfield , near newcastle , and in 1893 arnott left his sons in charge and visited scotland with his wife and a daughter . on his return in 1894 he bought a factory in sydney and took his sons into partnership . he had some forty employees in 1880 and by 1894 the number had increased to nearly eight hundred in sydney and newcastle . he retired in 1899 and moved to strathfield near sydney , where he died on 22 july 1901 . for several years the management of the business had been left to his sons but he had supported the plan for a new factory , built at homebush between 1906 and 1908 .
if you ' re a fan of the ginger nut , you may have noticed something odd — the iconic aussie biscuit differs depending on which state or territory you ' re in .
from colour , texture and taste to packet size and labelling , ginger nuts vary greatly across the border .
the recipes for the four varieties date back to 1906 and were originally baked by different biscuit companies across the country .
but we got told by people in different states , who had been enjoying ginger nuts made by different biscuit companies , that they preferred the one they were used to .
so the regional varieties have been maintained , despite all now being baked in the same facility in huntingwood in new south wales .
the ingredients list are actually really similar between the four different varieties ; what changes is how long we bake them for and how much of each ingredient goes into different bakes ,
ms thomson said .
the four ginger nuts ( from left ) victoria , queensland , sa / wa / nt and nsw / act .
when laid out on a plate , each of the ginger nuts is noticeably different in size , colour and texture .
according to ms thomson , the nsw / act ginger nut is the thickest and the hardest and
the best for dunking in a cup of tea
.
the queensland recipe is
thin , sweet and darker in colour — more like a gingerbread - style biscuit .
in victoria and tasmania , ginger nuts are bigger , softer and sweeter , and
closest to traditional ginger nuts from overseas
.
the south australian / west australian / northern territory version looks similar to its victorian counterpart but is sweeter .
growing your own tea at home could do more than just benefit your wallet .
we often get phone calls and contact from people saying , ' what have you done to the ginger nut ? you ' ve changed them and we ' re not happy about it ' ,
ms thomson said .
sometimes a box of nsw ginger nuts accidently gets delivered to a shop in queensland , and then we have quite a few people [ contact us ] .

charges against joy ellen thomas , 72 ( 72 ) of tweed heads , were dropped in the brisbane district court just as she was about to stand trial .
thomas was charged with four counts of extortion after her dna was found on two stamps attached to a demand letter sent to the offices of solicitor andrew boe .
but the department of public prosecutions today dismissed the charges five years after the alleged extortion bid .
but prosecutor paul rutledge told the court today mr blair had changed his mind this week after speaking to forensic biologist laszlo szabo , who tested the stamps for the defence .
the second profile is very weak - it is not sufficient to identify the person who placed it on the stamp ,
mr rutledge said .
taking into account that fact . . . the prosecution is of the view that the case against joy ellen thomas is not sufficiently strong to justify the proceedings continuing .
mr rutledge earlier told the court it was not possible to say whether the dna was as a result of a deposit of saliva or some other mechanism such as someone coughing in the presence of the stamps .
it is also not possible to date at what stage the dna was originally deposited on the stamps ,
he said .
thomas refused to comment as she left the court today surrounded by her lawyer and family members .
mr swanson said thomas was likely to make a statement about the conduct of the john tonge centre early next week .
the john tonge centre , funded by queensland health , manages the examination of human and other materials used as evidence in inquests and serious criminal trials .
a criminal justice commission report last year found best - practice policies were not followed or enforced at the centre and the recording of specimens were

a prison commissary ( commissary being a word taken out of context in such situations ) or canteen is a store within a correctional facility , from which inmates may purchase products such as hygiene items , snacks , writing instruments , etc .

spices , including those packaged with instant ramen noodles , are a popular item due to the often bland nature of prison food .

typically inmates are not allowed to possess cash ; instead , they make purchases through an account with funds from money contributed by friends , family members , etc. , or earned as wages .

typically , prisons set a maximum limit of funds that can be spent by each inmate on commissary ; in the u.s. federal system , it is $ 290 per month .

it is generally prohibited for inmates to trade items purchased on commissary .

however , certain items tend to be used as currency .

cigarettes were a classic medium of exchange , but in the wake of prison tobacco bans , postage stamps have become a more common currency item , along with any inexpensive , popular item that has a round number price such as 25 or 50 cents .

as prison budgets are cut in the usa , ramen has become a popular commodity to supplement food needs .

mylar foil packets of mackerel fish or " macks " are one such item .

in 1930 , the u.s. department of justice authorized and established a commissary at each federal institution .

some prison commissaries are staffed by government employees and inmates , while others have been completely privatized .

significant price markups are common in prison commissaries , although some prison systems set maximum markups ; for instance , the delaware department of correction has a 20 % maximum markup .

$ 100 million in purchases were made from texas ' prison system alone in 2009 .

prison commissary is a privilege that is often taken away for infractions .

prison commissary

prisoners can purchase extra items such as food , drinks and hygiene products from the prison commissary .
many privileges are taken away from people once they go to prison , but most inmates are allowed to buy their own items at a prison commissary . check out these 25 items available for sale to prison inmates - - some of the items may surprise you .
you may associate prison food with nondescript gray mush , but think again - there ' s a prison in colorado that allows inmates with a sophisticated palate to order baby octopus .
. but although prison does completely suck , if you have money , things can suck a little less . a prison commissary ( a type of general store ) actually has way more stuff than you ' d ever think . sure , it varies depending on your particular prison and security level , but there ' s quite a bit you can buy to make life behind bars just a little more bearable .
he said the idea behind commissary is to control contraband more than anything else .
leonbruno said gifts from visitors to inmates are problematic , hence the need for commissary .
prison time is slow time , so you need something to keep the mind occupied . it ' s hard to imagine tough - guy inmates
friends and family may make commissary purchases for eligible offenders up to the maximum quarterly spend .
who knew that there were people making photo albums in prison ? however , you can make memories just about anywhere - at least this way they can look pretty .
an inmate ' s custody level determines the items inmates are permitted to purchase from the department of corrections ( doc ) commissary system . the commissary is operated by pennsylvania correctional industries , a division of doc .
federal prisoners have access to a commissary , where they are permitted to purchase extra items they may need .

on a good day , you wouldn ' t want to get oysters from just anywhere - and probably the last place you would want to get them is a prison commissary , because there ' s a pretty good chance you ' ll die of food poisoning . especially if they cost that little .
the department of justice began allowing prison commissaries at each federal prison back in 1930 . family and friends have to deposit money so prisoners can buy basic items like shampoo as well as
luxury
items like the radio that made it easier for kerman to do her time . prisons can ' t let family members ship these items directly because they might try to smuggle in contraband .
the nueces county commissary brings in more than $ 900 , 000 annually with the inmate benefit trust fund receiving about 41 percent . statewide , prisoners spent more than $ 95 million on commissary items in 2010 , according to texas tribune data .
however , since the contractors that provide commissary items don ' t have to cater directly to prisoners , not every prisoner has access to name - brand snacks like these . america ' s biggest supplier of prison products is a privately owned company called keefe group that doesn ' t offer a ton of appetizing products , davidson notes .
to purchase commissary items , all federal prisons use commissary order forms , which you fill out and turn in . some prisons have you turn the form in at a window in the commissary building at the time of purchase , while others have you submit the form ahead of time . inmate commissary workers then fill the order and a guard scans the items at a cash register . as the guard does so he or she generally will pass the items to you through a slot ( much like a bank teller does ) .
lake county sheriff ' s office chief deputy frank leonbruno said inmates rarely spend as much on commissary purchases as zimmerman at the local level .
here is a list of some stuff you may never have expected to see in a prison and just what it costs to obtain it . check it out , you never know when it ' ll come in handy . . .
if you’re wondering how much to send your loved one for commissary , $ 200 is good to get them started . this will get them the basics , like shoes , a radio , mp3 player and hygiene products . with $ 50 from home a month , you can buy everything that you need . with $ 100 per month you can live very well in prison .
jesse spikes , jr . stocks up at the commissary at the lake county jail . assisting him are officers mike kato , left , and gary cooper .
to transport your items from commissary to your cell , you can use the two laundry bags that were issued when you received your clothing . prisoners often carry their laundry bags with them when they go to commissary and use them to transport commissary purchases back . if you have too many items to carry yourself , it is typical to offer a friend an ice cream to help you carry your purchases . this can be particularly helpful when purchasing bulky 12 - packs of soda .
for that reason , the jail operates commissary four days a week , giving inmates the privilege to spend their own money on items the jail knows are safe .
according to leonbruno , selection at state prison commissaries is far wider than at a local jail since prisoners are housed at those facilities for a longer period of time . items available at prisons could include clothes , shoes , and in some cases , even small electronics .
according to a dayton daily news report , ohio prisoners spent $ 38 million on commissary purchases last year on items that are marked up about 25 percent , on average .
only inmates with money in their trust fund account are permitted to shop , as commissary is a personal privilege , not a taxpayer - funded activity . friends and family can send money to inmates by depositing money in the inmate’s commissary account via a u . s . postal money order to the national lockbox or electronically through western union or moneygram .
george zimmerman , who gained a tremendous amount of weight before his trial , used his commissary money mostly to buy snacks , nbc news reported last year . his $ 99 commissary tab included cheez - its , big grandma ' s chocolate chip cookies , animal crackers , twix , peanut m & ms ; , cheetos , and strawberry pop - tarts .
according to rose , the size of an account , and how much is spent on commissary purchases , varies wildly from one inmate to the next , so estimating an average is difficult .
regardless of how much money inmates spend , jails and prisons do not make a profit from commissary . by state law , all money made from the store must directly benefit the inmates .
for some prisoners , a trip to the jail commissary , a small store that sells food and supplies , might provide a small slice of happiness at an otherwise bleak point in their lives .
instead , detention centers provide inmates the privilege of purchasing commissary items — varying from envelopes and postage stamps to spices — that give those behind bars a taste of home and create some revenue for the jail .
when you ' re arrested , any money you have on you is put on your commissary account ,
leonbruno said .
you get back any money left on the account when you leave .
purchase specific commissary items for the offender from tdcj’s online catalog ( delivered to the offender within 5 business days after tdcj receives the order ) . please note that unit security or staffing issues can override this timeframe .
ecommdirect lets friends and family make deposits into the account of an offender incarcerated in a tdcj facility and purchase commissary goods . this secure service offers online convenience and greater control of what happens with the funds you provide .
curiosity surrounding the april incarceration of george zimmerman , the florida neighborhood watch captain who killed unarmed teenager trayvon martin , led to published reports about the various products zimmerman picked up at commissary to make his stay a little more bearable .
while inmates actually end up using the products sold in the commissary , it ' s the prisons that choose contractors and stock commissaries . as one private contractor told davidson ,
the institution is our customer . not the prisoner .
we provide a bar of soap , shaving cream and other basic items when someone comes to jail ,
leonbruno said .
if someone wants a better shampoo or toothpaste or a different soap , they can buy them at commissary .
writing in the new york times , davidson notes that prisons all have a commissary , a bodega of sorts where inmates can buy toiletries like deodorant and fun items like m & ms ; , and private contractors run these commissaries about half the time .
inmates in texas are allowed to buy common household goods from prison markets , known as commissaries . the following treemap visualizes nearly $ 100 million in purchases made during 2009 by grouping them in categories ( dry goods , grooming , etc . ) . rectangles change in size depending on the number of times an item was sold . color represents annual sales by dollar amounts . right click on an item to zoom into its category , or search for a specific item below .
to protect your purchases , prisoners are assigned a locker located next to their bunk or in their cell ( depending on the type of housing ) . at the commissary you can purchase a combination lock to secure your property . but more important than this , be mindful of your surroundings and who you associate with . leaving an mp3 player sitting on a chair in the day room during chow is a great way to get it stolen . likewise , inviting known thieves into your cell , even if you are friendly with them , is also a great way for stamps to come up missing .

well , a wide variety of items actually . federal prisoners can get various types of meat ( e . g . , tuna , mackerel , chili ) , beverages ( e . g . , sodas , tea , coffee , drink mixes ) , snacks ( e . g . , little debbie’s snacks , trail mix , chips ) , and a plethora of personal items ( e . g . , clothing , shoes , hygienic items , radios , mp3 players , postage stamps , copy cards ) .
if a prisoner’s family can’t send them money , prisoners can use money from their institutional work assignments , which is usually around $ 10 to $ 20 per month .
generally speaking , federal prisoners are permitted to shop once a week on an assigned day . while they can generally purchase what they want , there are limits to some items ( e . g . , two 12 - packs of soda , two ice creams , 20 first class stamps ) and overall spending limitations . you are currently permitted to spend up to $ 360 per month . however , some items , such as copy cards , postage stamps , and over - the - counter medications do not count against this limitation .

the concoction is one of many that supplement the distaste to bland food served at nueces county jail , sheriff jim kaelin said .
“it’s jail culture , they don’t want to eat what comes out of the kitchen ; that’s usually the no . 1 complaint , ” he said .
the meals served three times a day on an aluminum thermal tray are as appealing as their presentation , kaelin said .
“when you serve 1 , 000 plus inmates you don’t worry about presentation , ” kaelin said . “there are no sprigs of pretty and tasty things on it , and we’re not going to season it up . they don’t make jail food that way . ”
the noodles , honey buns , coffee and jalapeño pretzels made the list of favored delicacies for inmates .
“our business has grown , ” he said of the about $ 400 , 000 in sales revenue the jail directs to the inmate fund .
when he took over as sheriff in 2006 , the trust averaged about $ 60 , 000 .
the fund this year paid for improvements to the jail’s camera system and labor for its installation as well as laptops and a printer for its first inmate re - entry program , kaelin said .
more than $ 500 , 000 was spent on upgrading 92 of its cameras and adding 122 to the jail’s surveillance system , kaelin said . and about $ 6 , 000 was spent on the jail’s résumé writing course , which coaches inmates for job preparedness after release .
“the money can only be spent on things which directly benefit inmates , ” kaelin said .
expenses also have been directed to uniforms , blankets , hygiene kits , towels , mattresses , jailhouse sandals and more .
“we’re the biggest hotel in south texas , ” kaelin said . “but people that come here don’t come in with an overnight bag . ”

anyone who ' s been there will tell you : jail is no picnic .
they ' ll say the food is notoriously bland and inmates are provided only the barest essentials to get through the mind - numbing hours spent in their cell .
an nbc news report found zimmerman picked up $ 98 . 90 worth of snacks including cheetos , jolly rangers , twix as well as undergarments , aspirin and stationary in his first two days at the john e . polk correctional facility in sanford , fla .
sometimes people will try to bring in a book , but they ' ll drop liquid drugs onto a page and send their friend a letter telling them to suck on the top corner of page 10 ,
he said .
oftentimes , contraband can be even more dangerous than drugs as attempts to smuggle in matches or weapons in seemingly innocuous gifts such as greeting cards do sometimes happen .
leonbruno said family members and friends can also contribute $ 30 at a time to an inmate ' s account and that prisoners can visit the store once a week .
inmates can select from a limited array of snacks and personal hygiene products that supplement the basic items furnished free of charge .
at the geauga county jail , inmates are allowed to spend up to $ 60 a time at the store , which is open twice a week .
jail administrator lt . kathy rose said since january , the top - selling items have been tuna fish , instant soups , protein bars and , not surprisingly , coffee .
coffee is always a good seller because they can ' t get it otherwise ,
rose said .
some people use it as a grocery store and buy a lot , others pick out just their very basic needs ,
rose said .
although commissaries exist to limit crime within the facilities , rose said officers are always vigilant to be sure the products purchased are used only for their intended purposes .
if ( an inmate ) bought 20 cans of soup today and another 20 tomorrow , it would be confiscated ,
rose said .
we make sure they ' re not storing it or trading it with other inmates for any reason .
in addition to snacks , leonbruno said games - - playing cards , checkers and chess sets - - are popular items to help inmates spend the long hours stuck in their cells .
imagine spending 30 days stuck in your living room ,
he said .
even if you have hbo , which our inmates do not , you ' ll go a little stir crazy .
commissaries also might be of use when inmates prepare for life on the outside . rose said the store offers rta bus passes for those who need it .
a lot of our inmates , when they get released , don ' t have a ride home ,
rose said .
officials said the funds are spent on maintaining the jails ' legal libraries , providing ged classes , bibles for church services and other supplies and programs .
if someone is here for a longer period of time , they can work on getting their diploma so they can leave a better person than when they came in ,
leonbruno said .
in lake county , the money also goes to pay for a weekly movie night on fridays . leonbruno said showing movies once a week is sometimes seen as pampering , though it ' s really an effective way to keep inmates from acting out .
they know they have to behave or the whole range will not get to watch the movie ,
he said .

are you ready to meet the most advanced sailfish phone ? i ' ll pretend i didn ' t hear the
what ' s sailfish ?
questions . and - surprise ! - the phone doesn ' t come from jolla , the maker of the os , but from one of its partners .
it has an octa - core processor ( mediatek mt6753 , 64 - bit cortex - a53 at 1 . 3ghz ) , while the jolla c and aqua fish have quad - core processors ( 32 - bit cortex - a7 at that ) . and you get a bigger 3 , 000mah battery .
not bad for a phone with a 5
screen . the resolution is 720p , just like the other two ( at least it ' s an ips ) . you also get a higher resolution camera - 13mp vs . 8mp - plus a 5mp selfie cam ( vs . 2mp for the other two ) . the main camera can record 1080p video .
update : oh , no ! i forgot the turing phone , which has a 5 . 5
1080p screen , 13mp camera and snapdragon 801 chipset with 3gb of ram . that one started life as an android phone , but dropped the google os in favor of sailfish .
ugly looking phone . they should ' ve just stick to the design from the original jolla like intex .
yes ! ! ! another alternative to my 1 + year old jolla . . . beautiful , but what ' s up with those bottom buttons ? sailfish is a buttonless ui ?
