"There's no Business like Show Business". This is an opportunity to share and present Circus History with others.
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?
