    I remember having a lot of road kill turtle, growing up. Did you know that by burying the turtle eggs sometimes you get lucky and they will hatch out. Just a thought.

    The exotic meats are interesting to those that have not been able to experience the cuisine,to others they are just dinner.

    Thank-you for this recipe.

    Kind Regards

    In the town I grew up along the Mississippi, they would have Turtle feeds once or twice a year.. Usually grilled. It was quite tasty grilled. The meat is much milder than one would think.. Kindof on the order of Alligator. Thanks for the memories... ;-~~ Jim
