033 – Deconstructing the Adelaide Yo Yo Biscuit

Bees make honey and there’s honey in podcasts, Adelaide’s boring podcast.

Yes, this week we dunk the Arnotts Yo Yo biscuit into the great beverage of Another Boring Thursday Night In Adelaide.

We are guided in our discussions by Amanda McInerney, the food blogger behind the Lambs’ Ears and Honey blog.

That conversation finally draws our South Australian Care Package discussion to a close.

In Adelaide’s Yesterdays, Colin hand manipulates an irate letter to the editor from The Advertiser in 1951, which attempts to put us in our place and tells us off for being more bustling than London!

Ben Pike from Melbourne Street Fine Wine Cellars delivers us a red wine that is rather stately and refined, from Lobethal Road.

Brett blows our minds and eardrums with a song that sounds bigger than it is.

And in the Adelaide Visa Council, Adelaide Councillor, Anne Moran is the centre of attention.

Show notes

Intro: Our original theme song is here, Adelaidee Hoo. Note, throughout the podcast we also use free sfx from freesfx.co.uk for the harp, the visa stamp, the silent movie music, the radio signal sfx, and the swooshes around Siri.

South Australian Drink Of The Week: Lobethal Road 2012 Shiraz. Tasting notes.

Shout outs: Steve said hi to Geoff Wake, a new listener, and his wife who cannot listen in from behind the great firewall of China at the moment. Brett eventually says hi to Julie from Veggie Tapas.

Stories without notice: Steve praises The Little Tooth Co and Wakefield Hospital’s Dental Surgery for passionate, professional and caring work on his daughter this week.

Interview: To wrap our decisions about what is in and out of the South Australian Care Package, we discuss an update from Chris at Wintulichs about their metwurst and we talk to Amanda McInerney from Lambs’ Ears and Honey about Yo Yo Biscuits, which we have discovered are indeed only sold in South Australia.
