Fiona Katauskas
Judge’s comments
Katauskas on the ‘meat product wrapped in bread’ is fabulous for historical reasons. Athenian sausage sellers were all over the Acropolis and Areopagus when the Ekklesia [assembly of citizens] was in session – Aristophanes even included one (Agoracritus) in his play The Knights. Awesome to think it has made its way back via Australia.
