I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.

Bob- I am answering here instead of at the picture below because of the view here of the hoses.
Yes they were cooking paste, which was done by putting the end of a steam hose in the pot and letting it bubble for awhile.
They would put a little "bluestone" in the mixture to keep it from souring. From chemistry class over fifty years ago I think that is copper sulphate.
Dave, what was the "Paste" actually made of?
