Wallaby, fruit pigeon, flying fox, native wood ducks, parrots and even goannas (Mrs Rawson calls them \"iguanas\") ended up in the oven or in the pot. This wasn't because the early settlers wanted to decimate the local wildlife, but rather it was done out of necessity. If you didn't shoot or snare a local furred, feathered or scaly creature, then you and your family didn't eat.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere were no supermarkets or butchers' shops on the wild Queensland Frontier of the 1800s.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA pleasant surprise at the end of the book is a whole section on poultry-keeping - good, old fashioned chicken lore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10495223\"\u003eMrs Lance Rawson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.34d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781975938802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1975938801\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-CKB\"\u003eCooking\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-CKB041000\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42651512045805,"sku":"9781975938802","price":16.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_518eec29-9277-4c64-934c-b9f6110aa9c4.jpg?v=1649221529","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-queensland-cookery-and-poultry-book-1890-9781975938802","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
