Speaker 1 (00:01):
And Amanda gam Nation.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I have a question and I want to ask you,
and I'm intrigued to know how you're going to answer it.
What do you think I have in common with a
sausage roll.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
There's a lot of jokes, You've got a thin bottom, crusty.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Well. The reason I'm asking you is spicy salty may.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Be salty is because, for the first time ever, a
sausage roll has been immortalized as a wax effigy for
Madame two Swords. I am a wax is effigy. The
word a giant candle at Madame two Swords, and they've
made one of a sausage roll. I'll tell you that
the process of being made into a Madam two Swords

(00:48):
dummy is quite extraordinary. They flew the team out from
England with they had bags of eyes, bags of teeth,
bags of hair to do the matchup. It's quite confronting
and you have to stand in your forever pose for
hours and they use is a plumb weight yep and
that's so that they can actually they spin me on

(01:09):
a little plinth and they photographed me from every Then
they got calipers out and measured from my elbow to
the tip of my nose, from my knee to the
top of my head, the weirdest collection of measurements with
these big calipers.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
It was quite an extraordinary process.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
And then I was invited and I went to England
about six months later and I went with the family
and we're invited to go to a place in Shepherd's
Bush where they actually make them Madame Tussword's dummies.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
And I saw them working on Steve Irwin's freckles. There
was Oprah Winfrey's head on a desk. It was quite extraordinary,
very macarb and so for the first time they've included
a food item, but apparently Greg's with a double G
at the end. Greg Gig's sausage rolls are an iconic
English food.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
They very yummy.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I have you had one?

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, They're an extraordinary good sausage roll.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Okay, Well, this is the first time, as I said,
a food item has been given its own exhibit at
Madame Sword's and the sculpture, they say, the crafting techniques
all were part of the museum's traditional plaster molding. It's
displayed on a velvet cushion with a commemorative plaque and
they say, but they put it in their culture zone
and the artists dedicated numerous hours to ensure that every
flaky layer was captured. Actually no, hang on, that's how

(02:24):
they did mine. Every flaky layer was captured accurately.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
They use the same measurements, yes, the.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Same and the same flaky pastry.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Because we've got gallos here. They make a good sausage roll.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Chico roll should be in Australian Madame tissor.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Lips and bum holes just like you.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
I'll take that compliment. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Have we been down to see your little effigy lately.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Wish like there's the thing. I can never go down
and look at it. I mean we were there on
opening night.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
I remember my kids looked Shive had and his on
The answer is yes, yes, and they took photos with
their fingers up my noses.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
I don't have a wick, don't even bother looking.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
But people, you're standing next to Rolph House for a
bit there he's.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Been melted down and turned into somebody else. By now.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
It's like the market take them right of the back
and melt them down off into some candles for the
gift shop.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Wish you have a team excursion, maybe
