There's recipies on how to cook possum, wild fowl (ducks), and how to get the turtle out of the shell.... Something I don't plan on trying. <br /><br />There's also a wine list from the 1930's or so, and suggestions on how the silverware lays in a formal setting. This must have been when folks really threw dinner parties. Martha would be envious. ;)<br /><br />ScratchKraneiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098753589894602353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150572.post-1941303457364421012010-08-29T08:48:31.892-04:002010-08-29T08:48:31.892-04:00Those Victorians could eat like that because they ...Those Victorians could eat like that because they walked everywhere and, with their waists cinched in, the women only tasted some of their food....<br />The Irish can eat well, too, because they don't have cars and walk and bike everywhere. I learned this from an Irish friend who ate french fries wrapped in white bread as a snack.<br />I do envy you the cookbook, though. I'd like one myself!Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684465134160083369noreply@blogger.com
