I originally thought "well at least the salad isn't entombed in gelatin", but then I see the tinned camp pie comes pre-jellied.

Reminds me of "Especiales!" that my roommate sent me on Imgur:

Oh, wow. This is making me think of buying a meal in Ankh-Morpork: one price for curry, a higher price for curry with meat, a still higher for curry with named meat.

What is "Hampe"? And how do you pronounce it?

And two brief news "articles" from the 1936 and 1937 Brisbane newspaper, the Queenslander, on the exhibition stalls set up by Imperial Canned Meats, of Redbank Meat Works Pty., Ltd. (Digitized copy courtesy of Trove).

1936 (http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/23386516)
and 1937 (http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/23590365)

I presume these were the Ag and Industrial Exhibition (the Ekka?).

Now to research what the hell is tinned camp pie.
