SC - feverfew

[marilyn traber]

Well to begin with, find out if it is legal to kill....some turtles are
endangered species.  Here in Trimaris I grew up eating Softshell turtle, now it
is illegal...

kill it by cutting off it's head, and hang upside down....to drain blood...
then you cut it out of its shell....and it is like any four legged critter....
tastes like chicken - sort of....you can boil or fry it...
if it is old I might be a tad bit gamy...

best bet is to ask around the old timers in the area, they will more than likely
be happy to show you how to dress it out and give you recipes to boot.
