I was always a fan of Turtle Soup. Of course, that comes from being in New Orleans. It's a little different though, and includs a shot of... crap.. I think Bourbon on top.

:eeklol Yeah,yeah... I was just having problems remembering wha the shot was of. I'm pretty sure it's bourbon (it's more of a splash than a shot as well). It's really good on a cold night!

awww... but turtles are poor, inoffensive, undefensive, intelligent creatures! How do you buy turtle meat, anyway? Do you catch your own, or buy canned meat? What kinds can you eat? Some are protected, aren't they?
