preparing the turtle eggs


They tell me these taste great. I can't imagine eating baby turtles.
I kept thinking of the far side cartoon of the polar bears eating an igloo. One polar bear says to the other " hey, this is great, crunchy on the outside with a soft chewy centre"
Turtles are so lovely, I couldn't bring myself to try this delicacy . I have difficulty accepting that others enjoy eating baby turtles....
No, I don't feel the same way about chickens!
