Japanese Redneck Turtle Stew

 
One summer at midnight, I was coming home from work on NC Hwy. 67. I am usually not pay attention on the road. My speed may be 65 mph. Look like a big rock-middle of the road. I step on brake. Then back up about 100 feet. That big rock was a turtle-a snapping turtle. You usually don't find them on highway. I pick up slow and put it in truck bed and come home. I throw him in freezer then get in bed. After awhile, turtle push door open and came out from freezer. It was after midnight and very quiet. My wife woke up by big sound of turtle hit wood floor. She went into the kitchen and started screaming. All the kids wake up then wake me up. I pick up its tail and throw him in trash bag then put him back in freezer. Next morning while turtle was half asleep, I clean up and cook. No one wanted to taste Japanese Redneck Turtle Stew in my family. I eat three bowls. Rest take to work. Everybody love it. About forty people try it. 25 minutes, all gone. They like to have again. Do you know they not eat octopus or squid? but ok to eat turtle. My kids eat octopus and squid. I don't care. I like them all. I use turtle shell to make nice hanging basket. It was beautiful all year round.

  5. Reminds me of a catering job, where a woman told my dad, "ooh don't put any of THAT in our dinner." (liver and gizzards) he ran out of food and made fried rice out of it. The woman came over and BEGGED for the recipe... muhahaha...

  6. I remember the first time I came over to the house, Yuri warned me to never ask what was in the food, to just enjoy it.

  8. Yuck!!! That is one UGLY turtle. Please remember that redneck hiro suffered a lot of brain injuries from being disciplined by teachers who had just served in WWII. The disciplining was pretty brutal and I'm sure permanently disabled his prefrontal cortex which would explain a lot of these stories.
