For what it's worth, there's a species of turtle referred to as "Soup
Turtles". Also, in SE Ohio, the snapper turtle was the turtle of choice for
turtle soup.

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
